Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week - Eater LA

"As the evening sun stretches on and the streets begin to cool, Los Angeles comes alive. The early evening snack-meal-hangout scene in this city is unrivaled, spread across happy hours, after-work cocktail spots, and taco stands. And in the case of Cypress Park, vermouth and crudo bars at the Portuguese-influenced Barra Santos. Not far away, Capri Club has been getting all of the attention (rightfully so) for its Italian menu of aperitifs and snacks, but the real in-the-know Eastsiders are hovering over cafe tables in Cypress Park, downing draft vermouth blanco, nibbling on olives, and pulling up heavy slices of tuna crudo with pickled vegetables and lots of citrus. It’s an ideal late-day snack, the kind of dish that feels fresh and timeless. It’s easy to spend an eyebrow-raising amount of time with friends here, with golden hour rays coming down against the chatter and murmur of the sidewalk crowd. This is the kind of place that LA does very, very well." - Eater Staff
