Cupcakes and Cashmere

"They serve the best chicken shawarma, hummus and tabbouleh in LA."

"A great Omakase selection for lunch that's affordable and indulgent."

"If you can find parking, Joan's is great for their cheese selection, salads, and sandwiches (the meatloaf shouldn't be missed)."

"If you can look past the "scene," they have great salads (my favorite is the Tucson) and arguably my favorite red velvet cupcake."

"Incredible lunch special: $14 for a seriously impressive assortment of sushi. Arrive early to avoid the crowds."

"It's not New York, but these are the best bagels in LA. Plus, they have coffee ice cubes, so your iced coffee never gets watered down."
