The restaurant is on the second floor of a large, plantation-style building (fitting for a plantation-influenced menu). The open floor plan feels spacious, even as we meander past many tables to our seats. The restaurant is buzzing with people, servers walk by us briskly, and large, picture windows let in a nice breeze. The lively, yet intimate, ambiance is one every restaurant hopes to achieve. The dark-wood interior alongside its modern furniture makes the restaurant feel casual and elegant.
Greenblatt's Deli-Restaurant
From the early days of Hollywood to the more recent craft cocktail renaissance, LA is the place for daring drinking made possible by this freedom and out-of-the-box thinking. Quintessential spots to seek out include the Varnish, a speakeasy in Downtown, and Accomplice Bar in Mar Vista. Los Angeles’s coffee scene is as distinct as its 75 miles of coastline and majestic mountains.

Here, the early-20th-century vibe evokes an era rife with speakeasies and secret dealings. But before stepping back into present time, order one of their historical cocktails to complement their much-loved french dip. It’s a one-page menu sectioned into three columns with a pupu (tapas) menu almost as long as its entrée selection, which means we’re eating family-style tonight. The waiter explains there are a few items from Roy’s restaurant on the menu, like the baby back ribs and the blackened island ahi, but I make a note to steer clear of them because I want to try what’s new. Past the canopy of trees on Maluhia Road and past the quaint town of Kōloa, I drove toward the south shore town of Poipu, where James Beard Award-winning chef Roy Yamaguchi has allowed a new concept to flourish—and it’s (for now) the only restaurant of its kind. Burger fans have been tearing through Tommy’s since Tom Koulax opened the flagship store in 1946.

A dozen eggs might cost you $90 at today’s prices; a pick axe would be the equivalent of $1,500; a pound of coffee $1,200 and a pair of boots as much as $3,000 when today you could get a decent pair for around $120. If you have ever wondered how California’s modern-day rush for riches in Silicon Valley compares with the Gold Rush of 1849, look no further than the cost of buying a home. Savor Kauai’s golden sands, Wailua Falls’ allure, Waimea Canyon’s grandeur, unwind in exquisite resorts, and more. After we order, the pork and shrimp pot stickers come out first, wrapped and fried to a perfect crispness, drizzled with Korean chili vinaigrette and topped with garlic aioli.

Remarkable dishes from long-running LA restaurants, including the Armenian kebabs from Mini Kabob and the juicy shrimp tacos from the iconic food truck Mariscos Jalisco, give diners a better sense of the vastness and depth of LA’s dining scene. Al Langer opened this vintage Jewish deli in 1947 and it’s typically rated as the best in Los Angeles. The best thing on the menu is the #19, a pastrami sandwich with Swiss, coleslaw and Russian dressing. Eateries have been serving up sandwiches, Mexican food, burgers, and other delicacies to the rich, famous, and all their fans.
The mashed potatoes and gravy are spot on, but the crispy chicken, similar to the burger, is not as moist as I would like. And, while I don’t see how this dish fits the Hawaii plantation era theme of the restaurant, it is a comfort-food dish that holds its own among the rest. Eating House 1849 is creatively different from the Roy’s chain of restaurants you may be familiar with that are located around the U.S., Guam and Japan. Its name is a nod to Peter Fernandez, a Portuguese man, who is said to have opened the first restaurant in Honolulu around 1849, called Eating House, popular among Oahu plantation workers. Now, Yamaguchi has taken this piece of Hawaii history and turned it into an idea for a restaurant with a menu that pays homage to the plantation days of Hawaii, influenced by Filipino and Portuguese flavors, along with Japanese, Chinese, Hawaiian and Korean cuisines. In 1926, Herman Greenblatt opened his eponymous deli which serves Jewish deli food, wine, and spirits.

These run the gamut from Portuguese bean stew (yes, for your fish) to something called “tri caviar shiso shallot infusion.” Nods to popular local tastes include a sauce of scallions, kochujang, sesame and soy; and a sizzling vinaigrette with serrano chiles and ginger. Roy Yamaguchi’s Eating House 1849 reopened at the end of the year with a new dinner menu. Among the new choices is a build-your-own catch option that I’ve fallen for—hook, line and sinker.
In little more than a year from the time of the first rush to the gold region this new government was organized and set in motion; and in 1850, California, no longer an ill-governed, sparsely inhabited Mexican province, was admitted as a state of the Union. Rough and unscrupulous adventurers would drive weaker and more peaceable parties from their claims, and take possession of the results of their labor. The immigration to California was not more remarkable for its numbers than the varied nationality of the immigrants. They came from all parts of the United States and the British provinces, and there was hardly a country of Europe but was represented among them.

There’s pretty much traffic everywhere all the time, or at least it’ll seem that way. The best strategy is to stick to a part of town — the Westside, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, South LA, Pasadena, or Silver Lake, and check places out in that area until traffic subsides in the evening. LA’s sushi scene combines a more traditional approach served at sleek counters helmed by world-class chefs with a more casual spirit as exemplified by the fun-loving roll scene in the San Fernando Valley.
Some were content occasionally to “stake their pile;” but with others, gambling was a passion which often in an hour lost for them the fruits of a week’s lucky labor, and they were forced again to content themselves for a while with digging. Keepers of gaming-tables were found wherever the miners congregated in considerable numbers, and often accumulated their “pile” more rapidly than the luckiest gold-digger. But when the news of the discovery reached the States and was transmitted over the world, then began a most remarkable immigration and a new settlement of California.

Though gold mining continued throughout the 1850s, it had reached its peak by 1852, when some $81 million was pulled from the ground. After that year, the total take declined gradually, leveling off to around $45 million per year by 1857. Settlement in California continued, however, and by the end of the decade the state’s population was 380,000. Downtown Los Angeles is divided into 13 districts including Little Tokyo, Chinatown, Arts District, and South Park.
Recently, Los Angeles has seen a notable rise in non-California styles, including New York City, Detroit, Chicago, and Neapolitan, appearing everywhere. Pizzeria Sei’s Neapolitan by way of Tokyo draws some of the highest praise for its wood-fired pies, while Pizzeria Bianco serves some of the best neo-Neapolitan pizza in Los Angeles. “One might suppose from reading the above that digging gold is a very profitalile business, but there are other things to be considered. At San Francisco, board and lodging, three in a bed, or on the floor, is from $20 to $30 a week.
The technique of hydraulic mining brought enormous profits but destroyed much of the region’s landscape. Thousands of would-be gold miners, known as 49ers for the year they arrived, traveled overland across the mountains or by sea, sailing to Panama or even around Cape Horn, the southernmost point of South America. Though Marshall and Sutter tried to keep news of the discovery under wraps, word got out, and by mid-March at least one newspaper was reporting that large quantities of gold were being turned up at Sutter’s Mill.
I have in this was, carried to our machine more than 3000 pounds per day, and then at night, as you may suppose, I would feel a little fatigued. There is quite a difference in the gold found in the wet diggings from that found in the dry diggings. The particles found in the former are very small, while those in the latter are large, weighing from fifty cents to an ounce, and sometimes much larger.
