"The new iteration of San Gabriel Valley hilltop restaurant Luminarias will be unveiled on November 2 after a multimillion dollar remodel. The over 40-year-old restaurant’s revamp includes new experiences, like the option of dining in large swings instead of chairs and sitting at a chef’s table. It will have a completely new food and drink program, with dishes like beef birria empanadas and grilled oysters with a chicharrónes crumble; and drinks like a pisco sour with tingly Sichuan buttons. Reservations are available on the restaurant’s website." - Jean Trinh
