Sawtelle Boulevard is what I consider one of the food paradises of Los Angeles. This stretch has gained a trendy reputation because of its many Japanese influenced lunch/dining options. Over the years, many ramen shops have started to pop in the area.  It has reached the point that if you want wonderful ramen in Los Angeles, you have to stop by Sawtelle Boulevard. This is one of my favorite areas in the big city and I am eager to share my Sawtelle ramen recommendations. Location The ‘neighborhood’ comprises the portion of Sawtelle Boulevard between Santa Monica Boulevard and Olympic Boulevard. This area is located very close to the most popular beaches in Los Angeles County.  Santa Monica and Venice Beach are within a 7 miles distance (15-20 minutes’ drive).  This is an ideal lunch stop for those touring Los Angeles and moving from the beach to Beverly Hills or Hollywood. Why Visit? This one of the best places in the United States to have ramen (some assure this is the best plac...

California Donut (USA) Sometimes pictures just speak for themselves… If you find yourself in LA and have a car (they’re a little out of the way), make sure you visit the most instagrammable donuts the world over. As far as foods around the world go, perhaps there’s one just waiting to be eaten in your hometown! 2. Alfajores (Argentina) You’ll find different variations on these biscuit sandwich delights, but my personal favourite is two biscuits with dulce de leche (warm and gooey) in the centre.

Arizona Ice Cream Sandwich (USA) Another biscuit sandwich – but this time with a thick layer of ice cream in the centre. You’ll find them all over the USA, and you’ll find it hard to stop once you start…. so maybe skip the mains, and head straight for dessert. 4. REAL Coconut Wat...

From inner city converted warehouses to leafy paradise retreats, and from hole-in-the-wall hideaways to unparalleled eggs benedict institutions, this city takes brunch seriously.
