A typical LA rooftop pool often host great weekend parties, but offer a more relaxed vibe during the weekdays. The sleek and modern The West Hollywood EDITION offers a truly beautiful LA rooftop oasis. At The Roof rooftop bar, but maybe even more so at the rooftop pool deck.

Surrounded with lush botanicals, mature trees and terra cotta-potted plants, as well as bespoke wooden loungers, the rooftop pool deck is the perfect spot to catch the sunrise, sunset and everything in between.

Think of the quintessential LA cafe and the usual suspects come to mind… Instagrammable avocado toast, pancakes, quiche, maybe a snazzy breakfast sandwich. Yes, these things are on the menu at Sqirl but the reason you’re coming here is for the acclaimed Ricotta Toast: a raft of brioche coated with a generous smear of house-made ricotta and a pool of jam made with seasonal fruits. While The Toast is simultaneously gorgeous and delicious, my favorite order is the Crispy Rice Salad. A deep bowl filled with crisped brown rice, mint, cilantro, cucumber, scallion, hot sauce, and topped with a fried egg. An amalgamation of the perfect textures and flavors: crispy rice, crunchy bits, salty and sour mixing with the rich egg yolk… incredible and totally guilt free because it has salad in the name.
