The Best Pick-Up & Delivery Thanksgiving Dinners in Los Angeles
Novelist, screenwriter, and director Nora Ephron’s famous Thanksgiving turkey recipe was simply to salt and pepper the bird and stick it in the oven at 450 degrees and “do not do one thing to it. You don’t baste it…you might have to cover it a certain point. And you might have to drain some of the fat that comes off, but it’s all these years of endless basting for nothing, it turns out.”
Believe her or not, preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for family and friends can sometimes feel a bit like a chore, especially when you’d much rather enjoy and take part in the conversation happening in the living room. If that’s the case for you this year and you would like to taste something more inventive than your standard mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes, check out this list of restaurants and grocers who will do all the work for you: select and test the recipes, cook the meal, and (in some cases) deliver it straight to your door. Restaurants include Little Dom’s in Los Feliz, Freedman’s in Echo Park, Lawry’s in Beverly Hills, Wexler’s in Downtown, Lunetta in Santa Monica, and many more.

Los Village Triplex with Restored 1890s Farmhouse
All three units of this exquisite triplex will be delivered vacant. A rare and wonderful income property opportunity in the very heart of Los Feliz Village. The rear portion of the property is a historic and restored farmhouse built in 1890, making it one of the very first – if not the first – homes in Los Feliz Village. It’s absolutely an owner-user’s dream; a separate entrance, gated compound with a standalone bungalow, bonus studio, and a large private yard.
From the street, there are two light-filled Spanish-style apartments that each have one bedroom, one bath, laundry, offices, and outdoor space.
Fresh & Innovative California Chinese at Mandarette Café
Mandarette Café – the longtime Chinese restaurant on Beverly Blvd near the Beverly Center – celebrated their 35th anniversary open recently so we decided it was high time to get back to the West Hollywood mainstay to see if their famous strawberry shrimp is as delicious as I remember it, to taste some of Chef Yang’s newest savory dishes for the fall, and to have a soju and ginger cocktail or two.
Spanish Revival Village Las Orquideas For Sale in Hollywood Heights
Built in the early days of the Golden Era of Hollywood and nestled in the Hollywood Heights foothills, Las Orquideas is a compound of five villas consisting of nine units. The property was designed by Cecil B. DeMille’s frequent art director Wilfred Buckland – popularly canonized as Hollywood’s first art director – to resemble the hillside towns of Andalusia. Buckland is quoted as saying, “I came to Hollywood … in search of a chance to visualize a more ‘pictorial’ way, by adapting to film the same rules that govern the higher art of painting.” Las Orquideas, located at 1901 North Orchid Avenue, is exquisitely painterly and altogether movie-magical.
