13 Hotspots For All SoCal Foodies To Try
Huffington Post

One thing I definitely like doing is eating. All the money I have usually goes to one of four things: makeup, concert tickets, Choice Music's LA store, and food. So I know my way around a few LA eateries. I would live in a few if I could! So I've decided to compile a list of a few of my favorite spots. If any of you ever find yourselves in sunny SoCal, you might wanna give a few of these places a try!


1. Acai Jungle Bowls Cafe: Burbank, CA

Acai Jungle Bowls serves up bowls of pure, frozen acai berry with superfood toppings of your choice, like cacao nibs, bee pollen, and goji berries. It also has the classic faves like strawberries, banana, and mango. It's the perfect healthy option for a hot day, and it's super delicious. They also have mostly all vegan and organic sandwiches and smoothies as well!

2. Slurpin' Ramen: Koreatown, Los Angeles

I go here almost every weekend. It's a really bad habit, but it's so worth it! Authentic chashu ramen and even a 100% veggie option with all the toppings you want and nothing you don't. Plus it's in K-town, so there's a lot of cool things to explore. (Choice is like a 5 minute walk away, and GOT7 can have all my leftover money when I buy albums from there.)

3. Bon Bon Tea House: Northridge CA

Another place I tend to go to almost weekly. There's a ton of flavors to choose from, be it milk tea, plain tea, slushes, smoothies, and even yogurt! They even give drinks in a 'potted plant' style -- which means it comes with vanilla latte foam, crushed Oreo, and a mint leaf on top. And, they have the cutest kissy-face logo. I personally recommend the Brown Sugar Milk Tea or Aloha Pineapple Slush.

4. The Dog Cafe: Downtown Los Angeles

Coffee. Dogs up for adoption. You get to pet them. What more could you need?!

5. Okamoto Kitchen, aka The Anime Food Truck: Sherman Oaks, CA

A mobile restaurant of choice, Okamoto is definitely one of the more unique trucks I've ever tried. Delicious Japanese cuisine and super kawaii artwork. I also love the mochi cheese sticks. Amazing food when you can track it down!

6. Cafe Korobokgur: Koreatown, Los Angeles

Another K-town favorite of mine! A small, homey little cafe with the best drinks and kimchi fried rice I've ever had. Plus, the decor is so kitschy and adorable. They have everything, ranging from Jack & Sally to Totoro. It's the perfect place to take pictures for the #aesthetic.

7. Elbows Mac 'n Cheese: Brea, CA

Pizza Mac 'n Cheese. Spinach and Artichoke Mac 'n Cheese, Cajun Mac 'n Cheese, Pulled Pork Mac 'n Cheese -- any combination your little heart desires, they have it. They also have pizza, sandwich melts, salad, and dessert! Plus, you get free churros when you share your meal on Instagram. Worth it.

8. Sprinkles Cupcakes: Beverly Hills, CA

The perfect place to satisfy your sweet tooth! They're the creators of the Cupcake ATM that people constantly Instagram. Another #aesthetic worthy place to go!

9. SomiSomi: Koreatown, Los Angeles

Ice cream with custard-filled, fish-shaped cones. Plus there's a lot of cool flavor combos, like chocolate/banana and green tea/milk.

Went fishing and caught this unoriginal pun 🎣 and some ice cream 🍦😜 Swipe over to check out the video from @somisomiicecream 🍦🙌🏼 SNAPCHAT: 👻 PAULSFOODHAUL 👻

10. The Hello Kitty Cafe: Irvine, CA

I, a loyal HK stand, will stand by this cafe until the day I leave this earth. Everyone needs to go. Even if you don't like Hello Kitty, you'll love the macarons. They even have amazing coffees and lemonade.

11. Old Town Mexican Restaurant: San Diego, CA

Authentic Mexican cuisine -- mariachi included! They even make their tortillas in the front of the restaurant, so you know it's fresh and real.

12. Porto's Bakery: Burbank, CA

There's a reason there's always lines out the door on weekends. That's because it's absolutely delicious! Amazing Cuban-style food and delicious pastries. Plus, it's near a lot of local vintage shops, so there's a lot of cool things to see!

13. Creme & Sugar: Anaheim, CA

There's more to Anaheim than just Disneyland. There's even UNICORN HOT CHOCOLATE. And that's what they serve at Creme & Sugar. They also have unicorn cake and bark. Basically 100% sugar. 100% of the time.


Stay hungry, my friends.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
