EAT<br />

DAMA // damafashiondistrict.com<br />

Tired of all the serious conversation of the day? Take a break<br />

and magically transport yourself to a Latin retreat at DAMA, the<br />

newly opened Pan American restaurant just a few blocks away<br />

from <strong>CMC</strong>. Book one of the pink hued banquettes on their<br />

breezy patio and instantly waste away the stress of day as Latin<br />

inspired music melts into the background. Come camera ready<br />

and order their beautiful Sandia y Mezcal for an Instagram worthy<br />

photo. For dinner, eat family style and don’t skip the whipped<br />

beans or the avocado with pickled chiles. They don’t disappoint!<br />

TERRONI // terroni.com<br />

This Canadian born, Italian inspired eatery is perfect for<br />

any event or meeting after a day at market. Immediately you<br />

are greeted by a distinct old world Italian air complete with<br />

windows filled by olive oil canisters, a floating art installation<br />

representative of Italy, tiled ceilings and walls, and an impressive<br />

wine list. Go family style and order any of the delicious wood<br />

oven pizzas and freshly made pastas! Make a game out of the<br />

half English, half Italian menu and see who can guess correctly.<br />

BREVA // brevadtla.com<br />

Vegan lifestyle not for you? Are you more of a meat and fish<br />

kind of person? Then head down the street just a few blocks<br />

from <strong>CMC</strong> and step into this Basque inspired brasserie<br />

where the menu captures flavors and cooking styles of<br />

the Mediterranean culture while incorporating the best of<br />

what California has to offer in seasonal ingredients. This<br />

captivating space inspires conversation and connection that<br />

all centers around amazing dishes. A must try is the Branzino<br />

alla Plancha or the Fried Chicken -- neither disappoint.<br />

BAR GARCIA // tuckhotel.com/bar-garcia<br />

Dimly lit, this “in the know” establishment is the definition of<br />

cool. This slyly hidden restaurant inside Hotel Tuck might<br />

be cozy, but don’t mistake how powerful its culinary punch<br />

can be. This is the spot you want to go to for a quick drink<br />

and stay for desert, allured by its black walls, modern decor<br />

and mood setting bronze lighting. Order everything, share<br />

everything, and for goodness sake, just get the night cap!<br />
