Factor's Famous Deli
Factor's Deli in Pico-Robertson is an all-out classic where the only thing better than the corned beef is the people watching.

Art's Deli is a Studio City institution and great place for a proper pastrami sandwich and potato salad.
Gjusta
We all know the food at Gjusta in Venice is great. The real question is, is it worth the trouble? We say yes.
Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill
It's less about the sushi at The Grove's Blue Ribbon and more about the fried chicken.
Erewhon Beverly Grove
Erewhon Beverly Grove might be the original, but shopping here is a nightmare we wouldn't wish upon anyone.
Erewhon Venice
The parking at the Venice Erewhon is horrible, but there is a six-foot jerky wall inside.

Erewhon Studio City
Erewhon Studio City is palatial, but the parking situation leaves a lot to be desired.

The Beverly Hills Erewhon should be rebranded as the Official Erewhon Gift Shop™ because it’s packed with tourists looking for LA keepsakes.
Erewhon Silver Lake
With good parking, zero bottlenecks, and a wine store, Erewhon Silver Lake is one of the shop's better locations in LA.
