Terra Cotta – Global Cuisine in the Heart of Koreatown
The Wiltern Center is a 12-story, 155-foot Art Deco landmark on the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Western Avenue in Koreatown. Of course you have heard of the Wiltern Theater that commands that street corner but it is actually connected to a building next door called the Pellissier Building. And the Pellissier Building is now home to the magnificent Terra Cotta Restaurant.
The lighting from the bar will capture your eye from the street but when you open the doors and walk in, you will be in awe.
The interior is expansive, combining the raw space of a warehouse with twenty-foot high ceilings and exposed vents with the vintage glamour of chandeliers, large black booths and communal seating.

Everyone has a different style of BBQ that they think is the best. Is it the rich, savory and spicy style from Texas, tangy and sweet from Carolina, tart and spicy from Kentucky? Beef, pork or chicken? All of this and more is available at Holy Cow. Using some of the finest cuts of meat and poultry, the meats are hand rubbed and hickory smoked for hours. The result is slow cooked tender deliciousness with a style for everyone.
To get started, load up on the carbs with nachos, fries and more! 
The town of Los Alamos is one block long. As you drive through the single main street, it will seem like you have entered an old pioneer town. It is almost like a movie façade. But look closely and you will see storefronts for wineries, restaurants and antique shops. This tiny town is a wine country destination.
Los Alamos was a former stagecoach stop on the edge of the Santa Ynez Valley. A twenty-minute drive north of Solvang, Los Alamos was a sleepy town until a decade ago when refugees from Los Angeles arrived. Music industry, entertainment industry and fashion industry executives left their hectic city lives for the calmness of this little town. The town that used to be called “Los Almost” is now sometimes called “Little Los Angeles.” Los Alamos has also attracted young winemakers/entrepreneurs to set up shop there as the town, for the time being, is an affordable destination with unlimited potential.
