Ventura Boulevard in Studio City can easily hold its own compared to its much-lauded cousin just south of the Hollywood Hills, Sunset Boulevard. Jake Scott shares spots he loves along Ventura that define its rich history and quintessential tapestry.
Less“Hands down my favorite spot in Studio City. If you’re into breakfast, the burrito and the New York breakfast sandwich will change your life. If lunch is more your thing, the Chinese chicken salad is fantastic. You also might have a little celebrity sighting at Joan’s.”
“My go-to coffee shop, and just so happens to be right down the street from Joan’s on Third. Best vanilla latte in L.A., mark my words.”
“This might just be the best burger you’ve ever had. I always get the classic triple and definitely add the onion jam.”
“My favorite date night spot. The cocktails are out of this world, and they’ve got vibes for days. Pro tip: Get the dill chips and the Cameron’s Kick.”
“Right on the famous Ventura Boulevard, and the perfect setting for a group hang.”
“A beautiful setting for a dinner date, and even better for a nightcap. Firefly never disappoints.”
”Tere’s is the quintessential hole-in-the-wall Mexican food in the neighborhood, and the food is AMAZING!”
“My wife is a pizza fanatic, and this is some of her favorite pizza ever!”
“This place is legendary in Studio City. Right in the heart of Tujunga Village, Aroma is so cute and the perfect spot for a breakfast hang. Pro tip: The desserts are ridiculous, don’t pass them up!”
“Quite literally the best ice cream on planet Earth. You heard it here first! Pro tip: Get lots of samples, but I always get the sea salt caramel.”
