Bruni Hearts LA

Has LA ever gotten so much good press from the NYT? In his review of LA's dining spots ( "a city in unrivaled tune with the restaurant times"), writer Frank Bruni draw parallels between LA neighborhoods and its restaurants. Sometimes its works: "Indeed, the vibrancy of L.A.’s restaurant scene can be measured by its geographic spread. You can now eat well in Culver City and, as the Lazy Ox indicates, downtown, where I recently had an especially sumptuous dinner at WP24 by Wolfgang Puck." He even gets inside the new downtown Ritz, eating in a "sleek, darkly shimmering dining room with panoramic views." [NYT]
