The past 10 days that I've been in Los Angeles, I went out to eat alot so I decided to dedicate a post all about some of the restaurants I visited on my trip.

Gaby's: Venice

This is a great place for great healthy Mediterranean food in Venice with patio seating and very nice servers. I even received some rolls(pictured below in the left corner)by an elderly woman who works there, I think she thought I was someone else, oh well!

Cheesecake Factory:Marina Del Rey

This is my absolute favorite Cheesecake factory locations that I've ever visited. It has a great view of the marina, boats and people enjoying the beach.

Urth Cafe: Santa Monica&Pasadena
Anyone who lives in LA knows about Urth Cafe and it wasn't until my last trip that I visited this restaurant and I now know what all the hype was about. Its a great place to grab a bite to eat in the nicely shaded outdoor patio with friends. They have several locations such as in Beverly Hill and downtown but I specifically visited the ones in Santa Monica and Pasadena.

Pressed Juicery: Santa Monica
A great place for overpriced fresh juices with extremely friendly employees!

In-n-Out: Westchester
The only burger place worth going in California, I've been here way too many times while living in LA and I believed it deserved a shout out! If you are vegetarian like me, then I suggest ordering the grilled cheese or animal style fries(which is part of the secret menu).

I'll be turning 18 this Wednesday, which I cant even believe! Its so exciting but a little scary, as I get older and face new challenges and adventures in my life. So in celebration, my family and I had a pre-birthday lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, we have been coming to this restaurant since I was little whether it was to celebrate our birthdays or graduations and we always have a great time! On my birthday I'll be heading off to Los Angeles for 10 days and I plan to do a lot of blog posts of my trip, so be on the look out for those coming in the next two weeks!
