Prince Street brings its iconic New York energy to LA, and it’s just as good as I remember from living near the original in SoHo. The pepperoni sicilian slice here is legendary — and they keep things extra fun with cool collabs.

LINDSAY'S RECOMMENDATIONS

• Famous Sicilian Pepperoni Slice: All about those ‘crispy cups’!

• Multiple Los Angeles locations so you’ll never be without great pizza

• Fun collabs (MGK, Mötley Crüe, etc.). Their Stromboli-Style Pizza donuts with Sidecar Donuts was mind-blowing!

Loreto is one of the most fun spots to roll up to — whether for a lively date night or with a small group of friends. The cocktails are top-tier, and the seafood dishes always steal the show.

LINDSAY'S RECOMMENDATIONS

• Aguachiles (Negro) is a win!

• Atún Picante ie crispy rice, spicy tuna with flare

• Soft Shell Crab Tacos

• Spicy Papaya Ceviche (not for the weak; it’s SPICY)

• Branzino Share Plate (best for a group)

• Carajillo: Maybe my favorite dessert ever. Do NOT skip!

• Expertly curated wines by the in-house sommelier

LINDSAY'S RECOMMENDATIONS

• Signature Spring Roll Wraps (fresh and filling!)

• Noodlerama Bowl with rice noodles + chicken

• Tuna Avocado Sandwich (a top menu item!)

• Combo meals at fair prices

This Italian-inspired sandwich spot is perfect for when you want something fresh and unfussy but still crave bold flavor. I love grabbing one of their giant sandwiches for takeout — they’re generous enough to split!

LINDSAY'S RECOMMENDATIONS

• Perfect Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap; the punchy dressing and crunchy croutons make this a knock-out (it really is ‘perfect’!)

• Masterpiece: a more traditional Tuna Sub, but kick it up with fresh dill and pepperoncinis

• Breakfast Options Aplenty; love the Egg and Cheese Bagel for the perfect morning start

• The space is well designed with a nostalgic east meets west feel and a lively vibe.
