4 Restaurants to Try This Labor Day Weekend in Los Angeles, 2024 Edition | Eater LA

"I found Planta Cocina, which debuted in 2023 and sits in Marina del Rey where the temperatures are consistently cooler, to be a standout plant-based option. The menu stages stunning dishes like the ahi watermelon nigiri and a firecracker roll layered with sweet potatoes, avocado, unagi, gochujang mayo, and chili salt; staff also throw mushrooms, corn, and Japanese eggplant on the robata grill. There are other choices such as the hearts of palm “crab” tostada, an al pastor taco bowl, and a pasta verde with Woodland mushrooms and tomatillo salsa. In addition to inventive cocktails and an excellent wine selection, their non-alcoholic options are some of the best in the city, and you can even take advantage of the adjacent city-operated water taxi that costs $1 to cruise around the Marina." - Eater Staff
