2 friends are visiting for the weekend

One is vegetarian, both have been to LA before. I haven’t made an itinerary per se, but thinking about mostly low-key meals. Based in Santa Monica but happy to drive anywhere in my spiffy new electric car, though perhaps not SGV because I’m out there enough during the week. Here are some places I’m thinking of taking them:

  • Meals by Genet
  • Guisados
  • Al Noor
  • Kogi
  • Gjusta
  • Uovo
  • Sqirl
  • Gracias Madre
  • Revolutionario
  • Langers
  • Guelaguetza

Anything I should add to the list?

They can have a knish or something while they watch us eat pastrami :slight_smile:

the fries are decent for crinkle cut.

Just tell your friend that Langers uses vegan steak! Worth a try.

That sounds like a fun weekend with friends. Kudos to you for balancing out the meals so every eater can try something.

One of the best vegan restaurants in the in LA is Plant Food & Wine on Abbot Kinney in Venice. Absolutely beautiful patio to dine at too. Great for brunch or dinner.

Langer’s PB&J is great. It’s the only thing I get there nowadays.

Their knishes aren’t very good—avoid.

Try the number 19, sub the pastrami with hash browns.

I highly recommend the egg salad sandwich on rye. :wink:

Or a fried egg sandwich on rye, or an omelette with rye toast.

If they can tolerate the noise level, Night + Market 3 is relatively close and certainly very LA (and I enjoy the food there)… Maybe DTF in Century City (unless they’ve already been to another location)?

No, the egg salad.

So what kind of spiffy electric car you have since you had to mention it?

VW eGolf. I like it so far!
