Where to Find the Best Lunch in Downtown LA

by admin July 11, 2021

It’s 12 PM on a Monday. Lunch is approaching, and you – ahem – “forgot” to meal prep the night before. You’re counting down the minutes until you can step outside and see the sunlight again. Daydreaming of the food options in the area, you begin to feel overwhelmed by the possibilities.

Also – was that an earthquake, or was that just the sheer violent force of your stomach rumbling?

You need to make a decision… and you need to make it fast. Before you become one of those hangry people they make fun of in Snickers commercials.

For two years, I worked in Downtown Los Angeles, and without these go-to choices for lunch, there are days where I’d be lost. Overcome with intolerable hanger. A nuisance to all those around me, really.

To anyone else who finds themselves in a similar position, or if you just want to find a great place to eat in Downtown Los Angeles, I’ve got you covered. Check out the list below of my favorite spots to eat in Downtown LA.

Don’t Leave Oahu Before You Eat These 9 Dishes

Must-Eat Alert: Don't leave Oahu before you eat these 10 dishes...

As I mentioned in a previous post, eating is one of my biggest motivations to travel. My tastebuds get bored easily, so I’m constantly on the look-out for something new and exciting. There are very few things I wouldn’t try at least once.

It’s funny… I was the exact opposite when I was a child. You see, I would infamously only eat plain hamburgers. We’re talking plain. Not an ounce of cheese, ketchup, mayonnaise… nothing. Just a dry hamburger patty and an untoasted bun.

Oh, how things have changed. Now, I eat my way through every new city I visit. (Trust me, it’s better this way.)

Today I’m talking about the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and all of the best dishes I ate during my visit. Don’t leave Oahu without trying these 9 delicious dishes…

What to Eat in New Orleans: The 5 Must-Have Dishes

What to Eat in New Orleans: The 5 Must-Have Dishes

Anyone who has been to New Orleans will know that while visiting, you eat until your stomach hurts. Then, you have a drink (might I suggest a Hurricane?) and then you eat some more.

Why is New Orleans called the crescent city, anyway? I don’t see what this has to do with pre-packaged ready to bake dinner rolls. (I’m kidding. And I’m really sorry for the corny joke.) In any case, I’d like to make a proposal for it to be re-dubbed the city of food.

Fearful of feeling like a beached whale? Too bad. It’s gonna happen, and you’re going to love every minute of it. Despite that growing feeling of fullness in your stomach, you won’t be able to resist having “just one more bite.”

Having grown up in New Orleans, I’m very familiar with this feeling. Spoonful after spoonful, I just keep eating until my plate is clean. I moved out over a decade ago, but whenever I go back, I rarely leave a plate unfinished.

If you’re uninitiated to the classic dishes of New Orleans, or just wondering what to eat on your visit, you’re in for a treat. I’ve compiled this list of my top five things to eat in New Orleans, along with some food photography for good measure. Please try not to lick your screen. (It’s unsanitary.)
