We might agree with Julie Andrews that raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens are pretty great, but when it comes to reflecting on our favorite things of 2022, we prefer to keep it all about Los Angeles. See below for the seven best things of 2022 in L.A.
There’s nothing quite as quintessentially Southern California than the burrito. To ensure you find the very best, we enlisted professional foodie Linsdey Baruch to give us her best recommendations. Better known as Lindsey Eats on Instagram (she’s also a food photographer, videographer and recipe developer), she gave us 10 places to find the best burritos you’ll ever eat. See the full list.
Good shopping is key to major cities. And given Los Angeles' laidback reputation, we know thrifting is key for any solid wardrobe. Here we’ve rounded up the best thrift shops across the city. Trust us. You’ll want to give it a full read because we know you need more than just (the albeit fantastic) Melrose Trading Post. See the full list.
The secret to the best haircare is that it is individualized. So, for anyone with curly hair, we wanted to be sure you went to a salon with stylists who are experts at caring for your specific texture, thickness and style. See the full list.
When sunshine is year round, having a go-to ice cream spot is essential. And Los Angeles has all kinds you could hope for: classic flavors, vegan options, artisanal creations and more. See the full list.
Los Angeles has a robust dining scene, but we want to be sure you never forget that includes restaurants in The Valley. Next time you’re on the other side of the hill, be sure to consider the excellent eateries of Studio City whether you’re in the mood for a beloved gastropub, an intimate dinner and more. See the full list.
Sure, Los Angeles is impressive for its food, entertainment and beaches. However, its most impressive feature is the supportive community. We wanted to simplify by being part of such efforts and rounded up organizations by L.A., for L.A. that are important to support all year long. See the full list.
Los Angeles beckons its inhabitants— whether locals or visitors— to relish the outdoors. However, when the sun sets and it’s not exactly the right time for surfing, hiking, swimming, running or biking, one of your best options is to hit a bar. There are a lot of options, so we narrowed it down to the very best, organized by neighborhood and offered the most important details. See the full list.
Even with 2022 coming to a close, burritos, Studio City restaurants, curly hair salons, thrift stores, ice cream shops, giving back and bars will always be important to us.
