Lulu @ The Hammer

For better or worse, if you're doing real business in LA, chances are you'll have your fair share of moments accommodating those who live on the west side. Instead of being bitter about it or trying to land some overhyped scene-y res, why not get some culture and inspiration at your meal by eating at a museum?

Beautiful outdoor area that is giving farm as much as it is giving architecture firm, and a menu filled with extremely basic, straightforward ingredients turned into something so much better than you'd expect. It'll never blow your mind but honestly, how do you expect to get the papers signed while moaning and groaning about foams and gelées?
