About LosAngeles10
LosAngeles10 sorts LA's restaurants, bars, salons, clinics, lawyers and shops into focused local rankings. Here is what we do, how we work and who it helps.
Many cities in one
Every Angeleno's Los Angeles is a little different, because the city is really a collection of places that happen to share a name. Koreatown runs on late nights and barbecue smoke; Thai Town and Little Tokyo keep their own institutions; Boyle Heights has its panaderías and murals; Silver Lake and Echo Park have their coffee bars and vintage shops; Leimert Park has its music and art; the San Fernando Valley hides great food in unassuming strip malls; and the coast from Venice down to San Pedro keeps a rhythm of its own.
Angelenos tend to build their lives around a handful of these places, and they want the best option within reach.
What LosAngeles10 does
LosAngeles10 sorts the city's local businesses into clear, focused rankings. Twenty-seven categories cover food and drink, nightlife, entertainment, art, fashion, health, beauty, law, real estate, employment, transportation, pets and more, and every ranking concentrates on one specific kind of business. A comedy club is never set against a jazz bar, and a taquería never against a sushi counter.
How the rankings are made
Research starts across the whole of Los Angeles, not just the Westside and Hollywood. Our editors want proof of staying power: the kind of regular clientele a place keeps for years, through shifting trends and rising rents. We also confirm that each business is open, correctly located and reachable. Each list is then narrowed to the names that truly lead, and we return to it regularly, because in this city the scene moves fast.
Who uses LosAngeles10
Locals ready to look beyond their usual spots. New arrivals who came for work in entertainment, tech, health care or the port and need a doctor, a mechanic and a decent coffee before anything else. Students at UCLA, USC and Cal State LA. Visitors who prefer a taco truck with a devoted following to a hotel lobby restaurant.
