"On L.A.'s heat map, you'll often find the hottest temperatures concentrated in the San Fernando Valley. But despite this reputation, there are still plenty of places worth ducking into for more than a blast of cool AC. Home to roughly half of L.A.'s population and dozens of neighborhoods, the Valley boasts a parade of sushi restaurants along Ventura Boulevard, a thrilling Thai food scene, long-standing burger shacks and plenty of breweries, wine and cocktail bars. And arguably the best restaurant in the region just reopened its doors after remodeling its dining room."
"Outside of the 818, there are plenty of bars across the city, from a Mexico City-inspired wine bar in Chinatown to a Parisian haunt in West Adams. And if you're abstaining from the booze or looking for a daytime option, L.A. has a slew of stellar remote-work destinations, including a plant-filled bookstore in Silver Lake and a two-story bistro in downtown L.A."
"On your quest to avoid the summer heat, consider heading to the coastal South Bay region, where you'll find so many Japanese dining options, including an ice cream shop and daily-prepared tofu."
September brings back-to-back heat waves in Los Angeles despite seasonal change. The San Fernando Valley concentrates the city's highest temperatures yet also hosts a wide range of restaurants along Ventura Boulevard, a strong Thai scene, enduring burger joints, breweries, wine and cocktail bars, and a recently remodeled standout restaurant. Beyond the Valley, bars range from Mexico City–inspired wine bars in Chinatown to Parisian spots in West Adams. Daytime and alcohol-free options include a plant-filled Silver Lake bookstore and a two-story downtown bistro. The coastal South Bay offers abundant Japanese dining, specialty ice cream, and daily-prepared tofu.
