Los Angeles
FOOD — IT’S A VIBE.
The A-List Of International Cuisine
From authentic two-dollar street tacos to sixty-dollar caviar-topped tacos, you can find it in Los Angeles. The City of Angels is an always evolving, forever trending mix of international infusion and Hollywood glam.
Connecting us —And our 72 burbs
With an average commute time of 35 minutes, Angelenos tend to know their own neighborhoods all too well. While we all enjoy the diverse possibility of local flavor, spending too much time in a 3-mile area means missing out on the full scale of Los Angeles’ culinary scene. At LifeWorks, we bring your teams LA’s best hot spots and hidden gems to you.
