L.A. likes to eat out and has many foodie destinations with a range of options and to suit your wants. Some market explicitly to the gay community, although you’ll find LGBTers at pretty much any restaurant in town. Prices here indicate a range of dinner entrées; lunches are usually less expensive. California law prohibits smoking inside restaurants, though some permit it at outdoor seating.
