replying to u/foreverstarlit: I’m also from LA and the last time I brought my family out here, my mom and sister were obsessed with Fish Cheeks. I know there’s a lot of great Thai in LA, but the food at Fish Cheeks is unique to what I’ve had in LA. They were here for a week and we went for their first meal upon landing and for their last meal before they left!

replying to u/Theairthatibreathe: Ernesto’s. Basque cuisine in LES. I think it’s a place that is busy because it’s really delicious and has a good bar program, but it’s totally slept on in this sub. But I would avoid going on weekends, you can barely hear yourself talk.

replying to u/Party-Veterinarian60: I might be in the minority here, but I personally don't think Friedmans is necessarily worth it. Not sure what time your flight is and if you're looking for something quick or more of a sit down, but I might consider a bagel spot. I love Tompkins square bagels and best bagel and coffee is great too. At Tompkins you could scoop a bagel, a steak egg and cheese (I like adding hot sauce) and then maybe a lunch sandwich for the plane like "The Grieve" which is chicken cutlet with fresh mozz and onion, but you can customize how you prefer and I might drop the onion to spare your fellow passengers lol. You won't get a bad meal at Friedmans, but figured I'd throw that out there!
“Or Spanish at Ernesto’s.”
