this Years round-up: THE BEST OF 2016

"It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times" .... 

But it's the only time we've got so let's celebrate the BEST of 2016.  The L.A.gant way.  If you need a recap from last year's round up click here!   Here's how 2016 lit the year:(click the red titles for details on the location)

Best Bar

E.P. & L.P.

Combination vibes & views; L.P serves great drunks (Freudian slip?) with a rockin' DJ.  You'll see a line down LaCienega (off Melrose) that makes you think it's a club with a cover charge.  It's that good!

Best Restaurant (casual)

BROOKLYN DELI

This Leimert Park jewel will leave you wanting more.  Fresh ingredients and tasty flavor combination, not to mention the lunch sandwich special of the day for $5

Best Restaurant

PERCH

On a Friday night (with the right weather) this rooftop restaurant is euphoric.  The food is fantastic, the live band is killer; perfect for a date night and/or girls night!

Best Urban Food delivery concierge 

AFNG

A L L F L A V O R N O G R E A S E

see previous post...there's nothing more to say!!!!!!! 

Best Brunch 

COMMISSARY 

My mind was blown in the green house atrium, the buffet + a la carte that is also bottomless along with the mimosas. Through in the poppin' DJ and it's lit!

Best Happy Hour

TOCA MADERA

Weekends included, makes this place exception, the staff is incredible, mexican food is done in a unique way (with vegan options) and I love love love the photobooth!!!  Make this a stop after brunch or before dinner!!

L.A.gant girl recommends...Brooklyn Deli and Mini Market

 

Hello there L.A.gant boys and girls,

It has been a trying week in the country this past week, so the doll has been ghost for a week.  Let's just say a mental health vaca.  Most importantly, I'm back with and L.A.gant girl reco.  I have been insta-stalking this place for about two week before I decided to try it. 

Brooklyn Deli and Mini Market is located at 4308 Crenshaw Blvd. right next door to New Millennium Barber Shop.  I was both pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and friendliness and also overwhelmed by the plethora of delicious sandwich choices.  The lovely young cashier helped me with her recommendation of the Remmi: it was fantastic.  If you want to beat the lunch rush, call ahead.  You wont regret it.  Here's a link to the menu.


Prices range from $7.25 sandwich a la cart, $9.25 lunch specials that include chips and a drink, or the daily $5 sandwich special. 

The owners hail from New York and they pride themselves on spreading love and friendship through the  community.  The forks are biodegradable, napkins are from post consumer recycled content

and they only use sea salt on their yummy sammies.  I absolutely recommend Brooklyn Deli
I am so happy to see them in Leimert Park, I will be returning  and wish them the absolute best!
