"Hollywood, among many things, is central. The likelihood of meeting a friend here when neither of you wants to drive across town on a Wednesday night is extremely high. In these instances, keep Los Balcones in your back pocket. The highly-underrated Peruvian spot on Vine gets a bit lost in the shuffle, but the colorful space is laid-back and fun. As you might expect, it’s all about the ceviche here, and one or two or three pisco sours during their 4 - 7pm daily happy hour never hurt anybody." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
