Cool cozy bar in the Roosevelt hotel across from TCL Chinese theater. With a slick bowling alley...

Udon, udon, udon. Really recommend trying the mazemen, which is like a saucy ramen with less broth. Richer flavors really pack a punch. I love their method of eating some, then changing the flavor profile halfway through by adding their house vinegar. Once you've eaten all the noodles, they conveniently serve you a scoop of rice to finish off the rest of the sauce 🤌🏼

Cool coffee house in DTLA that has character rather than many of the cold sterile feeling fancy ones (that i do frequent). Blackie, the owner, seems cool AF! They have crafted coffee that feels more down to earth and pure, plus the camel milk cortado was really good! Make sure to check out the manifesto by Blackie on the tables.

How many spots does Photerra have in Los Angeles?
182 and counting — each one a real photo pinned to the exact coordinate it was taken. New spots appear as travelers share them.
Are these Los Angeles spots on Google Maps?
Many aren't. Photerra's spots are photo-coordinates — viewpoints, benches, trailheads and corners with no business listing or address — so they don't show up on maps built from business directories.
How do I get to a spot with no address?
Open any spot in the Photerra app and tap once to launch Apple Maps, Google Maps, Uber or Lyft — we hand them the exact coordinates even when the place has no name.
