After a rocky start to summer, L.A.\u2019s food scene is finding its footing. <\/p>\n
Downtown restaurants are bouncing back<\/a> after suffering significant loss of business due to temporary curfews put in place following protests against ICE raids. After announcing its permanent closure, Cole\u2019s French Dip<\/a> \u2014 L.A.\u2019s oldest saloon and restaurant, which opened in 1908 \u2014 experienced a swell of support and extended its run until mid-September. In Little Tokyo, a cafe themed after a popular anime series<\/a> is bringing renewed interest to the neighborhood.<\/p>\n As temperatures continue to rise, there are plenty of ways to get out and enjoy the season while staying cool. Embrace the dog days of summer<\/a> with pup-friendly patios<\/a> (and homemade recipes), grab a couple scoops of vegan ice cream<\/a>, fuel up with over-the-top iced matcha and coffee drinks<\/a> or taste the resurgent trend of chicken Caesar wraps<\/a> while exploring the city\u2019s summer offerings.<\/p>\n And if you\u2019re looking for additional dining ideas this month, bookmark this list with new openings and long-standing restaurants that need support, including a destination for inventive chicken tenders from a Michelin-star chef, a Hawaiian poke shop in Echo Park and a Filipino breakfast pop-up from a Chinatown rotisserie and wine bar. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a rocky start to summer, L.A.\u2019s food scene is finding its footing.
