To help you make the most of L.A. during this summer of soccer, Amex and Resy tapped actor Josh Hutcherson to share his list of local spots you should make a point of visiting.", "recommendations": [ { "name": "Sqirl", "location": "Virgil Village", "image": "", "description": "If you’re looking for a spot to kick off your game day…" "text": "I love coming to Sqirl for breakfast or brunch. It’s a great spot, connecting Silver Lake to Koreatown to Downtown. You can get anything on the menu and it’s tasty. They’re known for their jams: apricot, blueberry, mixed berry, rhubarb. You can catch me here all the time.", "recommendations": "What Josh recommends: ricotta toast with all the jams, crispy rice salad with the works, orange blossom espresso tonic." }, { "name": "Tacos Delta", "location": "Silver Lake", "image": "", "description": "If you’re on the move…" "text": "Tacos Delta. Classic. One of my absolute favorite taco spots in Los Angeles. I first discovered this spot walking by it. I was like, I gotta try that one day. And then I tried it one day and never looked back. A good taco is just the right juiciness of the meat, and the al pastor is seasoned and cooked to perfection. It’s also a great spot to sit back and people watch. In Silver Lake, a lot of super cool people with wild styles walk around and you get a cool glimpse into the East Side life.", "recommendations": "What Josh recommends: horchata and al pastor tacos." }, { "name": "Vandell", "location": "Los Feliz", "image": "", "description": "If you want to celebrate a win…" "text": "My buddy Zach put me on to this place, and now I’m putting you on. Vandell's got a great atmosphere, it’s usually very bustling. It’s got the best cocktails in town. The food is absolutely off the charts. And they have a drink that’s called the Smoked Tomato. Where else are you gonna get a Smoked Tomato?", "recommendations": "What Josh recommends: grab a friend and split a burger, the crudo, and fries. Order a mezcal Negroni." }, { "name": "Kenbey Sushi", "location": "Silver Lake", "image": "", "description": "If you’re looking for something more intimate…" "text": "Kenbey is just fantastic. They have omakase options, and they bring you whatever the chef is making that day. They have great lunch specials. It’s mine and my girlfriend’s go-to place, and we always sit in the same little corner seat.", "recommendations": "What Josh recommends: the bento box." } ], "additionalRecommendations": { "diveBars": [ "Ye Rustic Inn", "Thirsty Crow" ], "dancingSpots": [ "The Silverlake Lounge", "Zebulon", "Los Globos" ], "sweetSpots": [ "Salt & Straw" ], "otherMentioned": [ "Tsubaki", "Bar Stella" ], "tacoCrawl": "Just go and choose a neighborhood and roam around the streets and grab a taco from each spot. One of my favorites is on the corner of Hyperion and Rowena." } } }
