🔥The Fueg: An LA guide according to sum1 living here for 5 minutes 🔥
Hi my beautiful angel buddies & baddies,
Welcome to 🔥The Fueg 🔥, the newsletter no one asked for but everyone needs. As many of you know, I've relocated The Fueg HQ to Los Angeles--altho The Fueg is REALLY a *state of mind* with no geographical limits. Ah, Los Angeles! Home to the iconic Hollywood sign, ex New Yorkers, and the best burritos around (LITERALLY FUEG, GIVE ME ALL THE HOTTEST HOT SAUCE!).
My foray to LA was slow but steady, filled with sights, bites, and *love*. I asked my internet friends for suggestions on where to peep art Fueg here in this beautiful city that people claim has no culture... and was met with an idea I adored: make my own city guide. So, buddies, come for a digital ride in my car around Los Angeles, my minty fresh LA Woman identity will lead the way. The car may be borrowed, but the time, my friends, is not. I hope you all laugh at the terrible choices I think are "chic" having lived here for all of 5 minutes.Â
THE FUEG: A CITY GUIDE, ACCORDING TO A COMPLETE N00B*
*but like i think i'm awesome so..this will probably be fuegy as fuq :P
First up, #BOOKTOK!!!!! :
Des Pair Books, Echo Park
I discovered this booktok hotspot while following my favorite trend reporter's instagram. This place is a definite must for those who love a weird book and recently moved here from brooklyn. My recent acquisition includes a story co-authored by AI. The store owner rocked the fuck out of an eyepatch. Fashion meets function, book meets tok. need i say more?
SHOP TIL U MF DROP:
Just One Eye
Fuck me up, fam. This is the one stop shop for LUXURY. The fueg here is peak bitchy--upper echelon bitchy. Prada nylon bucket hats, deeply brutal furniture, one-of-a-kinds as far as just one eye can see AND the staff is on par with back-in-the-day Barney's shoe floor (RIP). For those of you who've exhausted Melrose Place and just want to skip straight to the creme-de-la-creme, Just One Eye delivers.
EAT PLANTS!
I can't wait to wax and wane about my *veganism* like a good LA girl. I am plant-based, hear me roar. And feast your eyes/ears (and eventually mouths) on the delicious hot spots for the best bites. Hitting u with a top three.
1. Gokoku:  Keeping it real, the last time I ate here a man choked on the bok choy in his vegan ramen, but it had to be because the ramen was so fkn good he was really choking on his expectations. You will not regret going to this unexpected hit. The sushi slaps too.
2. IKEA: going to IKEA in a city is already a shock coming from new york where no one has a car and a single piece of furniture is the whole size of you studio apartment. Let's kick it up a notch. The hottest spot in LA for a vegan hot dog is IKEA.Â
3. Milly's diner:Â You aren't really home until you have your own booth at your own diner. Milly's is it, the west coast rival to Baz Bagels. The staff is kind, the coffee is flowing, and the vegan pancakes are primo.
BONUS SLEEPER PICK: soft serve that kicks 16 Handle's ass. Goodbye Murray Hill, hello East Hollywood.
metahaiku (aka: Lewks Global HQ, What Is This Regarding? HQ, my mother fucking office):
Let us venture downtown, to art's district. Just steps from Dover Street Market (I SEE U NEW YORKERS!!!), H. Lorenzo, vintage furniture spots, and a coffee shop to get a $300 iced matcha (yes, my friends, I also I stopped fearing *not-coffee*), you will find the gem of LA: metahaiku. This is 100% a shameless plug for my new haven, The Office_Studio, where I hope, my dearest angel friend, you will visit and do something that still exists and have heard is called "Work."
*actual footage of me and davy greenberg at metahaiku*
There you have it. Book your flight if you're not in LA, run don't walk if you ARE in LA. Tell your friends, family, future ex boyfriends, the best-dressed and the worst-dressed people on the subway. Oh and work with us at metahaiku if you have an idea.Â
And that's showbiz, baby. Until next time, my fueg buddies.
FORWARD THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS.
