for farcasters in los angeles or visiting los angeles. come here to cast about LA happenings, trends, tropes, memes, and beyond.
If you aren’t partaking in LA’s vibrant brewery scene … please fix that.
One spot in particular that doesn’t get the love it deserves is Benny Boy Brewing.
A brewery and a cider house in one.
Great hang out area and lots of fun events every couple of weekends.
Their Witbier is my fav.
Check it out! Probably going to post more beer/brewery gems in addition to pizza going forward. In these economic times great spots need your support more than ever.

It’s wild that it takes as much time to drive from SaMo to DTLA as to fly from LAX to SFO

Just spent 5 days in LA for Nouns events. Some takeaways from a fellow East coaster (and only second time visitor):
- the weather premium is real and worth it. Im envious in the best of ways.
- had no idea downtown was a zombie land. as someone who knows what’s it like to live w a slight sense of uneasiness re: safety all the time, downtown LA was the first place in the US where I experienced this.
- got to spend time in playa vista. wow! it’s the one of the few places i’d consider moving to.
- culture factory is surreal. got to spend time w many local creatives thx to @nounstownla, @nounsfest and @derekgtaylor w @thepark. felt a bit like in a movie. I can see why there was a monopoly on culture exports there.
- traffic sucks (expected)
- food is phenomenal (expected)

LA is such a cool city before the traffic hits in the early AMs.
And such a frustrating city once 1-2 hours get added onto travel times later.
I get why it drove Elon to madness/starting The Boring Company.

REVIEW
Little Dynamite
Culver City
Hot Jimmy
Cheese Louise
Former co-owner of Bootleg Pizza.
I arrived and they had a sign up that said: “Out of stock. Please do not ask.”
Two groups of people walked in, saw the sign + walked out.
I shrugged and asked. Turns out they did have more pizza lol.
It never hurts to inquire!
Anyways…
Dough-y guilty pleasure pizza. Domino’s if it went to a liberal arts school for four years. These are fun pizzas, but the dessert-ness of it all makes me feel like a guest would have a slice, smile and then ask if you had vegetables in your fridge they could nibble at.
And that last part is why this fails to cut through the clutter. There are so many of these yeast injected, Detroit-influenced pies that rely way too heavily on the junk factor without having that spark to make you feel like you could finish a box and throw any digestive concern to the wind.
You need that quality part. This comes close, but doesn’t quite hit.
Verdict: Not ktd approved

Hesitant to try it since apparently you need to ride along the PCH but it sounds amazing

It’s pomegranate season! This one was the most perfect delicious pomegranate I’ve ever had. No contest. Cut it from our neighbor’s tree that had some branches hanging over into our backyard.
Erewon got an app or some kind of online rewards?
