How LA is my most favorite city, to me it's world's best place to live in, I do really miss it and can't wait to go back! When I was living in the city of Angels. I almost tried every (hot) spot! So when you're around you should definitely go to one of these places... For me these were my favorite spots in LA in 2012, 2013 and 2014, but keep in mind that hotspots change very fast there, hopefully these places are not outdated yet, if yes please let me know:
