He now can spend hours watching birds on the shores of Malibu Lagoon State Beach. She pays just under $800 a month to share one of these more private office spaces with access to a yoga room, private meeting rooms, even a podcasting room. Entrepreneur Samantha Kaine just started using The Blackbird House in Culver City as her office space two months ago. We are open for all Holidays - spare the mess and time doing everything at home - let us do all the ‘heavy lifting’ and reserve a table, relax and enjoy quality time, great foods, and craft cocktails with your family and friends. From Malibu Lagoon to the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve, Black birders are taking flight. They marvel at the gentle shorebirds of the Pacific coastline.

Apparently, they've used bluebird boxes to great success at places like Ken Malloy/Harbor Regional Park in Wilmington. Not sure what kind of luck you'd have putting up a bluebird box in your backyard, though, as the club is of the opinion that you need a really large space and a series of boxes several hundred yards apart. Anyway, you can learn a lot of things in a few minutes tooling around the club's website. However, if you live in the hills, or adjacent to large swaths of open space (places like Palos Verdes, Malibu, San Gabriels, etc.), your prospects are much better. A simple bird house for wrens (here's an easy one to build) can attract Bewick's Wrens, House Wrens, and who knows what else. Black Birders Week, which this year runs May 29 through June 4, is a series of online events that increase the visibility of Black birders.

Zetino became passionate about the outdoors at a young age when they would watch their grandmother tend to fruit trees and medicinal herbs. Zetino also took conservation courses at West Los Angeles College, one of which included a bird-watching field trip, sparking their interest in the hobby. Surrounded by wild sagebrush and bright yellow mustard, Jayden Samuels excitedly points out a hawk swooping downward in the sky. He’s bird watching in Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area in Baldwin Hills, the downtown skyline in the distance, along with nine other Black Angelenos. "The beautiful thing about this is not a healthcare space. It's women who are doing media, who are doing fashion, doing education -- there's so many different types of businesses right under this roof," said Afoh-Manin.

"I really wanted a space where I could come and see women who look like myself, and engage with women who look like myself, and feel safe," said Kaine. It had been some time since I had been there and I will say that the food was on point but the service was a bit rough that Sunday (3/3/24)... I think that they were short staff on the Sunday I was there, but those who were working, including the bartender, really were trying their best to provide good service. The Blackbird Team has recently attended some domestic violence awareness forums which have been very informative and heartbreaking at the same time. Blackbird proudly supports women experiencing domestic violence. We would like to remind everyone that if the lights are on at Blackbird House, you are welcome to come in.

Help secure the future for birds at risk from climate change, habitat loss and other threats. Your support will power our science, education, advocacy and on-the-ground conservation efforts. Despite the joy that’s come from building up a Black birding community in real life, the online campaign that sparked the trend was born out of a painful moment. Soon after a white woman walking her dog called the police on Black birder Christian Cooper in New York City’s Central Park in May 2020 — a disturbing call that went viral in an online video — a cohort of activists developed Black Birders Week. A 5% service charge will be added to each guest check to ensure competitive industry compensation, as well as health and medical benefits, for all of our valued full time team members. In support of this initiative, the entirety of the charge is retained by the company.

Still, Black birders have to take their safety into serious consideration while outdoors, says McGee. For those who are interested in bird-watching, there are plenty of ways to get started. “Throughout history, we’ve seen this exclusion and we’ve seen how certain faces are not being highlighted. We see that in conservation, we see that in the outdoors, we see that with farming. Blackbird House members can pay $35 for a day pass, up to more than $2,500 for a private office.

Zetino believes that Black Birders Week isn’t just a hashtag — it’s a growing movement. She started her own organization to relieve student loan debt for minority health professionals. In one of the back private offices, we met Dr. Nanaefua Afoh-Manin who works here when she's not in the emergency room.

If you live near the beach, say in Hermosa Beach or Santa Monica, it's unlikely that you'll have much luck with a bird house. The reason is that there likely aren't many cavity nesting birds residing in these seaside areas that are also largely suburban. This isn't to say that you'll come up empty if you put one up. But if you do get some birds in there, it will likely be House Sparrows, which aren't popular in the birding community, but can nonetheless bring some life to your backyard. This is The Blackbird House, a safe space for women of color to come together, support and network. The 17-year-old is part of a small but passionate Black birding community in Los Angeles.

After the first Black Birders Week, several Black nature enthusiasts developed even more campaigns around being Black in the outdoors and in the science community, like Black in National Parks Week and Black in Microbiology Week. In L.A., those online campaigns have led to IRL meetups, like the one Samuels attended on a cloudy Sunday in April. I can see their face — it just lightens up,” says Z Zetino, a community organizer who welcomes new L.A. Birders, guiding them as they find a new appreciation for nature. Coulter, actor Don Cheadle's wife, came up with this vision for a coworking space for women of color right before the pandemic hit in 2019. Samuels says he was first introduced to formal bird watching at 14 when he joined the North Hollywood High School Zoo Magnet program.

Elevate the Space With a Bar

You aren’t limited to the basics — choose from an extensive product library with hundreds of different tables, chairs, swing sets, and more. We’ll show you exactly how to install the paver patio, the fire pit and seating walls,  and how much material you need for each. We just don't know the best way to get it,  how much it cost, or if it will even fit our house. With our collection of patios designed to fit corners of homes with 4' bump outs, your choice of designs is endless. If you are looking to create a deck or patio design in your backyard, we have gathered together some of the best ideas to help get you started.

HomeByMe lets homeowners get an authentic taste of being their own designer. With an easy-to-use 3D planner, you can create a realistic model of your home, add furniture and decorate to your heart’s content. Upload photos of your outdoor space to iScape or use the augmented reality function to visualize your ideal landscape. You can create either 2D or 3D designs, collaborate with your partner or designer, and buy products directly from iScape. What’s more, you can change or redesign your patio online as many times as you want! If you need an expert’s insights, hire an iScape designer, and design your dream patio together.

Opt for vibrant throw pillows or a show-stopping coffee table to make your space feel more like an outdoor living room than an afterthought. This allows you to add nicer seating options, and gives you the opportunity to scout out the best outdoor furniture stores and shop for accessories that complement the backyard landscaping. Patios are generally made from materials such as concrete, brick, pavers, flagstone, tile, cut stone, or loose materials such as gravel. The easiest option also depends on whether you are planning to hire someone to install a patio or DIY it. You can create a simple patio by sticking to a square format and using uniform pavers of the same size that won’t require cutting or finesse to install.

Use Cedreo online patio design software to create detailed outdoor spaces your clients will love. If you love cozy Fall evenings by the fire then our Curvy Patio Design with Fireplace is just what you need. Your choice of furnishings, decor, and equipment should be adapted to your lifestyle and how you plan to use your patio.

Get creative with an outdoor space by finding ways to make your lawn part of the design. Here, the circular patch of grass adds to the flow of the landscape and softens the transition between hardscapes. It also acts as a design element, playing off the round heads of flowering hydrangeas, circular container gardens, and stepping-stones off the back door.

Take your outdoor space up a notch and install a fireplace instead. This feature is typically only seen inside, so adding it to your patio gives your patio more of a living room feel. Using bricks to pave your backyard patio will give it a classic look. If you already have a concrete patio, buy thin bricks to install over your existing patio. The more bells and whistles your patio has, the harder it will be to maintain.

Plus, you can let elements of an outdoor kitchen do double duty -- the screen shown here also helps block late afternoon sun. Give your patio a unique dimension by incorporating pockets of colorful, easy-care plants such as succulents and groundcovers that can handle heavy traffic while maintaining their structure. Creeping thyme, in particular, is a great choice for sunny patios because it releases its lovely fragrance when stepped on. Antique garden furniture and accessories bring sophisticated substance to old and new patios.

Make your patio as versatile as possible by offering different seating areas. Casual gatherings (or personal away-time!) call for relaxing in Adirondack chairs; more formal get-togethers are better suited with traditional lawn furniture or benches. Create separate seating areas to accommodate any situation if you have the space.

There is no active Instagram account or flowery profile in a high-gloss print magazine for Original Bill’s Taco House. Black and white photos on the wall show off patrons long gone, or images of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., while the ancient sputtering jukebox at one end is as likely to play cumbia as it is country. This is what quiet, unpretentious community dining looks like outside of the food-obsessed Los Angeles bubble, even if the restaurant in question has been making one spectacularly unique food for almost seventy years. The actress attends the 2024 TriBeCa Ball at New York Academy of Art on April 1 in New York City. Lionel Richie, Lisa Parigi, Harlow Madden, Sparrow Madden, Nicole Richie, Brenda Harvey-Richie and Joel Madden attend the Los Angeles premiere of Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead at The Grove on April 2 in Los Angeles, California.

LA's Best Tacos

If you’re craving something on the lighter side, Iki’s yuzu shio is bright and refreshing. It has pork belly, menma (lacto-fermented bamboo shoots), nori, green onions, and a soft-boiled seasoned egg. The taquero’s rapid rise is remarkable, both on the streets and online, and while it might have something to do with how photogenic those bright red, dripping-with-sauce Tijuana-style tacos are, it’s really due to the flavor.

Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: April 26

Plus taco kits with swordfish and rock shrimp, loco moco, goat ribs with handmade tortillas, duck confit kibbeh, Argentine choripan, and some slow-and-low smoked meats. Yet here is Alex Stupak of Empellón in New York City, waxing poetic for Lucky Peach recently about his discovery of the cheeseburger taco while on a two-day trip to Mexico City. Here is Pour Vida Latin Flavor, doing their take on In-N-Out’s flavors, spread across a tortilla down in Orange County. Both well-meaning, eager to capitalize on what seems like a novel idea, and both with likely no idea whatsoever that Bill’s has been making cheeseburger tacos literally for generations.

Best Mexican Restaurants in San Diego

From traditional Hakata-style tonkotsu to a shiitake miso-based vegan ramen, here are five different styles and regional ramen varieties to try in Los Angeles. Danielle Dorsey is the assistant editor and writer of guides for the Food section. Previously, she was the senior West Coast editor at Thrillist, where she covered food, drink and travel across the California region. She grew up across San Diego and Riverside and has happily called Los Angeles home for more than 15 years. Finally, if all that taco talk has you in the mood for a nostalgic take on a fast-casual favorite, I recommend columnist Jenn Harris’ homemade Taco Bell Crunchwrap supreme. In the spirit of Black History Month and L.A.’s Black-led taco scene, I’ve collected a handful of recipes that celebrate the evolution of California soul food.

The rapper attends the premiere of Hulu's Hip-Hop and the White House at Metrograph on April 18 in New York City.

Times Food feature “How we made tacos a Black thing in L.A.,” published this week. Leo’s and Tamix steal the spotlight when it comes to al pastor, but Chiquis is the unsung hero of Mid-City. At $1.50 apiece, their tacos are a solid deal—especially considering the hefty portions of meat cut from the trompo. Also home to burritos, quesadillas, excellent birria, and an entire table crammed with plastic jugs of condiments, this electric-green truck’s got a little something for everyone.

Stick around the open dining area of Bill’s long enough and you’ll find all manner of long-time regulars coming through, shouting to Eva about this or that. Most will happily tell you how long they’ve been coming to this particular location (always measured in decades), while younger kids from nearby schools stumble in with crinkled dollar bills to split a plate of fries and chili gravy.

The food historian and first Black food editor of a major newspaper (the Cleveland Plain Dealer) extols the benefits of turkey as a low-fat alternative to pork and beef, including a turkey tostada and Caribbean turkey salad. Dig deeper into the evolution of Black tacos with my essay, as well as a guide with nine places to try Black tacos across L.A. And a profile of an elusive Leimert Park taco window that draws hours-long lines. Everyone’s mom made tacos,” Alisa Reynolds, chef and owner of My 2 Cents on Pico Boulevard, told me for my L.A.

It’s not a delicate, Instagrammable bowl by any means, but that’s how you know it’s good. The actress wears a black dress to the special screening event of Netflix's A Man in Full at the Tudum Theater in Hollywood, California, on April 24. Gone are the days when you could score a hearty serving of ramen for under $10, but if you want a bowl that won’t break the bank, Shin-Sen-Gumi in Little Tokyo is famous for its Hakata-style ramen. They use a pork tonkotsu broth that takes three days to prepare and a signature straight, thin noodle. I prefer my ramen on the firmer side, so I appreciate that Shin-Sen-Gumi lets you select the desired firmness of your noodles. Supamu, which started as a food truck and a series of pop-ups, brands itself as Southern California’s first Okinawa-style onigiri.

To get you started, here are the top 10 food trucks who just so happen to serve some of the best tacos in the city. Sweet smoke from a roadside taco stand blows across the Highland Park parking lot, but the crowd gathered in front of Chef Victor Villa’s taqueria doesn’t budge. This brick-and-mortar marks a milestone for a chef who first started serving out of his grandmother’s house.

The actor is seen on the set of Zero Day on Wall Street on April 27 in New York City. Known for being warm, comforting, and familiar, Westerners often oversimplify the complexity of ramen, assuming the modest noodle dish is just one thing. But even within the vast culinary landscape of Los Angeles, there are endless styles, techniques, and regional varieties of ramen available to the hungry Angeleno.

Best Indian Restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area

And OC, though you’re most likely to catch Roja (the originator) and Naranja around town. The short rib tacos are the way to go, with meaty, caramelized depth brightened by salsa, though even the non-meat options such as tofu or the kimchi quesadilla are perfection. Long heralded as some of the best tacos in L.A.—whether truck, stand or brick-and-mortar restaurant—Mariscos Jalisco is indisputably one of the top purveyors of fresh, fried and seafood-centric Mexican food anywhere in town. While the tacos are the stars, don’t skip the piled-high tostadas—especially the Poseidon ($8.75), topped with shrimp ceviche, octopus and a fiery aguachile of shrimp.

Their rise in the middle of the 20th century speaks to the nation’s growing commodity farming movement, its boundless appetite for red meat, and an immigrant restaurant population looking to expand its clientele base. Ernie’s Mexican Restaurant offers an extensive menu selection with affordable breakfast and lunch specials, along with premium dinner options to celebrate all types of festivities. Whether it’s our homemade tortilla chips, well-seasoned meats, jam-packed burritos smothered in melted jack cheese and mild red sauce or delightful skinny margaritas, you will surely enjoy one of the best authentic Mexican cuisines in town. Our dishes are made using only the freshest ingredients to ensure maximum flavor and satisfaction with every bite. The tacos I grew up eating at home resemble the tacos dorados that San Bernardino’s family-owned Mitla Cafe introduced to the region in 1937. At times referred to as the “gringo” taco (and sometimes disparaged as such by people with ethnic Mexican heritage), this style of taco eventually became popular at fast-casual restaurants across America.

“I grew up around a lot of Hispanic people in Watts, but really, my tacos are inspired by my mom,” says Keith Garrett, who’s behind the All Flavor No Grease food truck that parks on the corner of Manchester and Western Avenue. “If she says she’s making tacos, it doesn’t matter where I am — I’m on the way,” he says, laughing. The top pastor purveyors of L.A., Leo’s hands out palm-size tacos from the window of a bright yellow truck. At $2.50 apiece, they’re still one of the best inexpensive bites in the city, especially when you stop by after sundown—that’s when your price includes dinner and a show. Your meat is either pulled from the plancha or sliced theatrically from the tower of marinated pork flame-roasting on the large trompo.

The results of this particular time in American taco history can still be seen today at places like Taco Treat in Arcadia. The actress attends the premiere of Netflix's Ripley on April 3 in Los Angeles, California. Zendaya attends the premiere of the Challengers in Paris, France, on April 6 dressed in a white strapless gown. Aja Naomi King is drawing attention to a new L'Oréal Paris campaign that highlights how 81% of women have a fear of failure compared to men, which increases the pressure on women to appear perfect.

More than 30 years ago, a pioneering class of Black chefs in L.A., many of whom were trained in their home kitchens, put their stamp on the taco, inducting it into California soul cuisine. The dish — what I’ve come to think of as the Black taco — has established itself as a local staple, with new Black-owned taco stands still building on its legacy today. Earlier this month, a leaked memo from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) suggested that these 41.18 zones rarely led to unhoused people being moved into interim shelter or permanent housing. Attorney Nicholas Rosenberg said that his client, Edin Enamorado, attended a council meeting days before his arrest, during which the Mayor allegedly said to him, “We have a surprise coming.” The activists' trial is now set for April 29th.

Food columnist Jenn Harris’ Homemade Crunchwrap Supreme is perfect for when you’re craving fast-casual American-style tacos, but don’t want to brave the drive-through lines. Piled with cumin-seasoned ground beef, cheese sauce, shredded lettuce, tomato and sliced olives, it’s an elevated take on Taco Bell’s iconic item and overlaps with the tacos my mom made for me growing up. I was raised across San Diego and Riverside before settling in Los Angeles in adulthood.

Daikokuya’s tonkotsu ramen is probably what you’d imagine if you were asked to think of a bowl of ramen. The slightly curly egg noodles paired with a thick tonkatsu soup base and tender chashu are the epitome of comfort food. For an even richer broth with added back fat, I took Daikokuya’s recommendation to get the kotteri.

Taqueros slice and toss fresh pineapple shavings high into the air, catching them in your taco, for showmanship that can’t be beat. And L.A.’s taqueros on wheels—also called loncheros—give chase, parking their rolling restaurants on street corners in South L.A., at gas stations in Mid-City and in front of warehouses tucked into the Arts District. A fully formed burger patty is cooked off and split in half, topped with full slices of American cheese, and all the regular burger accoutrement. It sounds novel even today, and a far cry from the often mealy ground beef and shredded cheese hard-shelled tacos of one’s youth — except they have been doing it since just after World War II. If you want a classic, hearty bowl of ramen and don’t mind waiting, Daikokuya is a staple in Little Tokyo.
