both, Local has a dish for you. After you place your order with an amazingly friendly counter-person, grab a patio seat while the thrift-store fashionistas strut by. In the winter, the covered patio stays toasty under heat lamps while in the summer, choose between shady or sun-bathed tables. Start off with a medley of fresh-squeezed juices: vitamin-rich carrot, apple, beet, parsley, and ginger. The gigantic buckwheat crepes ooze with savory fillings like Gruyere, spinach and mushroom. A housemade quinoa burger--made from zucchini, red pepper, beets and pine nuts--is a vegetarian’s dream or make it omnivore-friendly with thick slabs of apple wood-smoked bacon. Finger-licking fries--spiced with chili powder--are served with tangy ranch dipping sauce. A daily special presents white orbs of poached eggs on a bed of verdant kale. If you are on the go, an organic salad bar offers many options for a park picnic or a healthy alternative to room service.
Side Dish: Since Angelenos are beauty aficionados, the city is a hotspot for primping and pampering. Get a mani/pedi at nearby Gloss Nails or visit Stark Waxing Studio, where they use a surprisingly less-painful hard wax.
