Los Angeles Football Club winger Carlos Vela dishes on his favorite things about Los Angeles.

8

DISCOVERLOSANGELES.COM

W H AT T O D O I N L . A .

It’s almost too perfect

that his last name is Vela. In Spanish, vela means candle. And since becoming the first designated player signed by the Los Angeles Football Club (lafc.com) in 2017, wingman Carlos Vela has simply been on fire.

How else to explain his meteoric rise to Major League Soccer (MLS) legend status? In July 2019, Vela set a record as the fastest player in MLS history to score 20 goals. In 2018, he was named to the prestigious MLS Best XI, an honor bestowed upon the best 11 players in the league, and he was a major factor in helping LAFC become one of only four clubs in MLS history to reach the playoffs in its inaugural campaign.

Put simply, in his first two years with the six-year-old LAFC, Mexican-born Vela has become one of the biggest stars in the sport, and has established himself as a role model for young soccer fans, both in L.A. and around the world. He also loves the diverse city of Los Angeles and the fans of his sport who call it home. “[The fans] are like our family,” says Vela, 31. “When we started this project, we said we wanted to build a great club that is inclusive, a club that can bring everyone together. We bring goals and great football to our fans because they are with us every game.

We are proud of this club and proud to play for our amazing fans.”

On days when he isn’t blistering soccer balls net-ward and bringing crowds at Banc of California Stadium to their feet, Vela and his family have several top spots around town. Some of their favorite restaurants are Élephante (élephante/la.com), a high-end Italian eatery in Santa Monica, and Nobu (noburestaurants.com/ losangeles), the L.A. location of chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa’s sushi chain. Vela also likes to take advantage of the city’s climate and diverse natural settings by spending time outdoors with his kin.

Not surprisingly, Vela likes other sports in addition to soccer.

If the Vela clan is heading out to cheer on other local teams, it’s usually the Los Angeles Lakers at STAPLES Center (staples center.com)—Vela himself is a fan of LeBron James—or the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium (losangeles.dodgers. mlb.com). While Vela enjoys visiting both of those sports venues, he loves his home turf best. “Nothing is better than Banc of California Stadium,” he says.

Between Vela’s success on the field and his passion for the city he now calls home, it’s clear the love affair between Los Angeles and Carlos Vela is off to a great start. Here’s hoping his light shines brightly in the City of Angels for many years to come.

Game On! Los Angeles has become a landmark destination in the world of sports. Counting among its professional sports organizations two football teams, three basketball teams, two soccer teams, a baseball team, and a hockey team, the city is home to some of the newest and some of the most historic venues in sports.

Beloved longtime institutions include the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the Rose Bowl Stadium, and Dodger Stadium, which is undergoing a major renovation this year that will introduce a center-field plaza with two acres of entertainment, new food offerings, and a play area for kids.

DISCOVERLOSANGELES.COM

Joining the ranks of these iconic sports locations are the city’s latest arenas: the world-class, 3-million-square-foot SoFi Stadium (opening in 2020, it’s the home field for the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers); and the 22,000-seat, state-of-the-art Banc of California Stadium (where, since its opening in 2018, soccer fans have cheered on the Los Angeles Football Club amid views of the Downtown skyline).

In 2020, Los Angeles will proudly host Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game and the NCAA Men’s West Regional Basketball Championship—and there’s plenty more in store.

Ever since 2016, when Howlin’ Ray’s ended its life as a food truck and moved into permanent digs in Chinatown’s Far East Plaza, people have been waiting hours for their chance to bite into the storied Nashville hot chicken. As they wait, the diners debate what they’ll choose on the six-level “How hot?” scale, and are sternly advised not to chance the ultimate “howlin’” level. YouTube videos demonstrate what happens to those who ignore the warning. Tip: Wait times are posted on Twitter. » 727 N. Broadway, #128, Los Angeles, 213.935.8399, howlinrays.com

Housed in what was once the rectory building of St. Vibiana’s cathedral (and is now an event space), chef Neal Fraser’s Redbird takes a reverential approach to fresh ingredients, with the barbecue-smoked tofu drawing as many raves as the $140 porterhouse for two. Still, the vibe in those gorgeous surroundings is playful and convivial, and it’s possible to make a lovely meal out of small plates like house-cured sardines, burrata with charred leeks, and beef tartare topped with a runny egg yolk. » 114 E. 2nd St., Los Angeles, 213.788.1191, redbird.la

The result is Bavel, another runaway success with a menu that features roasted lamb neck shawarma, braised beef cheek tagine, grilled fish, lamb, and rib eye, and stellar Middle Eastern spreads. Reservations can be tough to get, especially on the patio, so plan ahead, consider an early or late dinner, or grab a drink at the bar while waiting for your table. » 500 Mateo St., Los Angeles, 213.232.4966, baveldtla.com

Porridge + Puffs

Bon Appétit named this tiny 10-seat sandwich shop the 2019 Restaurant of the Year. Its signature dish is a Japanese-inspired egg salad sandwich that became an Instagram sensation. Just as delectable, if not quite as photogenic, are the pork katsu and eggplant katsu sandwiches, house-made pickles, and the green salad with wax beans, hazelnuts, and miso dressing. The chocolate croissants sell out as soon as they leave the oven, but the other pastries—including a custardy canelé—are too sublime to be considered second best. » 1463 Sunset Blvd., konbila.com

Minh Phan’s award-winning porridge enterprise began life as a pop-up, and while it’s now a well-established brick-and-mortar restaurant, it still retains a sense of discovery. The light-filled space with its long communal table in the center makes it an especially welcoming spot for solo diners. Plus, the beautifully composed bowls of rice porridge with a rotation of toppings that include short ribs, sausage, mushrooms, greens, and chicken are perfectly portioned for one. The pillowy puffs are offered in savory and sweet versions or unadorned and perfect for dunking. » 2801 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, 213.908.5313, porridgeandpuffs.com

While the pizzas and pastas are the star attractions here, you might find yourself raving about the simple arugula salad with lemon, oil, and grana padano and wondering whether you can return for the giant marinara braised meatballs after a couple of walks around the block.

One Day in L.A. Colombian-born rising star Isabella Gomez picks prized places to dance, late-night snack, and shop in her adopted city.

W ENTERTAINMENT HOT SPOTS

E C H O PA R K

OPPOSITE: JAVIER ROMERO; ABOVE: BART DE BRUYN/SHUTTERSTOCK

On hiatus from playing opinionated, queer-identifying high-schooler Elena Alvarez on the hit sitcom}One Day at a Time, Isabella Gomez has had a pretty breezy day. “I woke up, I read a little, I had lunch with friends, and then I watched}Keeping Up with the Kardashians,”}says the 22-yearold rising star with a semi-guilty chuckle.

Her TV character’s single mom, Cuban-American nurse Penelope (Justina Machado), would be alarmed about that Kardashian quotient. After all, Penelope and feisty abuela Lydia (played by legendary actress Rita Moreno) live a life of grounded, blue-collar values in L.A.’s Echo Park neighborhood.

But it’s good to know that Gomez—who was born in Medellin, Colombia—has acclimated to stardom and the City of Angels, especially considering she moved here just five years ago. “I love that you can drive 20 minutes and be in a completely different type of place, like from the beach to the mountains,” cheers the ebullient actress, who, akin to her One Day alter ego, is keen on L.A.’s array of what she calls “super-artsy” coffee houses. (Gomez also feels she is as caring as Elena—“but not as brave,” she says.) “I’m just fascinated by people. That’s one of the reasons I got into acting.”

Gomez was just 6 years old when she told her mom, a veterinarian, and dad, who was then a lawyer and now helps manage his daughter’s career, that she wanted “to be on TV” (thanks to Disney Channel hits like High School Musical ). When she was 10, the family moved to Orlando, Florida, where she started taking acting classes and, soon enough, booked a conga line of commercials. Following her sophomore year in high school, Gomez booked a recurring part on the El Rey network secret-spy drama Matador, playing the main character’s teen sister. Suddenly the Gomezes were settled in L.A.—and Isabella was a star of one of the most buzzed-about sitcoms in recent memory (for latecomers, One Day is a Latinized reboot of producer Norman Lear’s retro-TV classic).

She hasn’t forsaken her roots, though. Among her favorite hangs: Downtown’s The Conga Room (congaroom.com), a colorful, salsa-happy dance club and performance venue co-owned by the likes of Jennifer Lopez and NBA star Trevor Ariza. “You have to go to Birdies (birdiesla.com) after,” Gomez instructs.

On Friday and Saturday it’s open 24 hours, and “they have the best chicken sandwich ever, ever, ever.” Another favorite: the Colombian spot Sabor Colombiano (saborcolombianola.com),

noted for its buñuelos (cheese fritters) and camarones tumaquenos (shrimp sautéed with bell peppers in coconut milk). “I feel at home there,” she says.

Gomez heads to the renowned outdoor mall The Grove in Mid-Wilshire for Umami Burger (umamiburger.com) or to the adjacent Original Farmers Market for the Brazilian churrascaria fare at Pampas Grill (pampas-grill.com). “The line is always, like, half a mile [long], but it’s so worth it,” she says. She also suggests the fresh-made green juice, which she says is “actually good,” at Toast Bakery Cafe (toastbakerycafe.net) nearby on 3rd Street.

When in the San Fernando Valley, she visits the quaint Aroma Coffee and Tea (aromacoffeeandtea.com) in Studio City. “It’s in a little house, the desserts are insane, and it’s near Warner Bros.

[Studios], so there’s likely always some big celebrity there my friends will freak out about.”

While Gomez declares that she is no fashionista—“I’m an American Apparel kinda gal,” she says; “they already have the outfits all put together!”—she does enjoy skimming through the mix of vintage and original, handcrafted clothes at the Melrose Trading Post (melrosetradingpost.org), a bohemian-vibed swap meet held Sundays at the iconic Fairfax High School (where everyone from Carole Lombard to Mila Kunis cracked the books).

“There’s food and performances—it’s so fun,” says Gomez.

Another of Gomez’s pastimes: walking around Echo Park Lake (laparks.org/aquatic/lake/echo-park-lake), which is especially picturesque when covered in lotus blossoms in July, with a BFF and his three puppies. (Gomez’s cat, Tita, whom she describes as “all white with one blue eye and one yellow eye,” stays at home.)

Gomez’s career is going at a good clip, too. She just costarred in A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish (on Netflix); One Day’s fourth season arrives on CBS’s sister network Pop this year; and she’s got the college-campus psychological thriller Dembanger coming soon. Will the star who graduated valedictorian in her online high school class be able to squeeze in college at some point? “I feel like I’m going through a little bit of a quarter-life crisis,” Gomez says with a laugh. For now, the self-described “stubborn perfectionist” is just trying to take life one day at a time. “I started meditating.

I’m journaling. I started a new acting class,” she says. “It’s exciting to stretch my wings.”

Yep, she’s definitely an Angeleno.

After Klaus Biesenbach was named director of The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA; moca.org) in July 2018, he wasted no time in articulating a vision that extends beyond the institution’s vast world-class permanent collection of roughly 7,000 objects in all types of media and its groundbreaking exhibitions. “It is important for MOCA to be a resident among residents in our city,� says Biesenbach. “We need to be there for our city, of service to our community, and engage with the most pressing cultural and social issues of our time—for us, that is social and environmental justice. We can do this through exhibitions and also public programs, like the Warehouse Programs at MOCA’s Geffen location in Little Tokyo.� A large warehouse space separate from MOCA’s Grand Avenue venue, the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA is intended, Biesenbach says, “to be a place for experimentation, collaboration, community engagement, performance, and much more.�

Biesenbach, who was born in Germany, was instrumental in establishing Berlin’s reputation as a city for living and working artists. He later moved to New York to work for the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), where he eventually became chief curatorat-large. He’s been known throughout his career for promoting emerging artists and engaging a wider spectrum of the community with contemporary art.

Although he had visited Los Angeles many times beginning in the 1990s, those whirlwind trips to visit artists and galleries left him little time to really explore the city, he says, something he’s now been working hard to rectify. “I have really tried to get to know the diverse range of communities and parts of L.A., from Mt. Baldy to San Pedro to Pico Union to Topanga Canyon,� Biesenbach says. Among his discoveries he points to the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens (huntington.org) in San Marino, which he says is “now one of my favorites connecting complex layers of culture and nature as culture.�

Across the city, several spots have similarly become “don’t-miss� venues: In Downtown L.A. there’s Navell (navel.la), which bills itself as “a test site for community-driven projects, critical equitable practices, collaborative learning, and kinship.� Jenny’s (jennys.us), a small gallery space in Silver Lake, tends to feature underexposed artists from the U.S. and Europe, while the Underground Museum (theunderground-museum.org) is a family-run cultural hub and alternative arts space in Arlington Heights.

When it comes to entertaining out-of-town guests, Biesenbach likes to showcase the Downtown Arts District and MOCA Geffen n in Little Tokyo; the tasty offerings of the nearby Grand Central Market (grandcentralmarket.com) are reserved for his dearest friends, however.

Despite his packed MOCA schedule, some of the upcoming year’s cultural offerings have caught his eclectic eye, beginning with LACMA’s focus on artist Betye Saar (lacma.org), September 2019 through April 2020. Then there’s the Frieze Los Angeles art fair (frieze.com/fairs/frieze-los-angeles) on February 14 through 16, and next June, the LA Philharmonic will present the West #Ă—ĂˆĂ‚ Ă¸ÂŽĂƒĂĄÂœĂ— ǺǸǺǸ ĂĄĂˆ Coast premiere of Reich/Richter ĂšĂ”Ă—ÂŽĂƒÂ§ ǺǸǺǚ Â…ĂĄ >D ɹÚ (laphil.com), a groundbreaking $ÂœÄŒÂœĂƒ Â˝ĂˆÂ’Â…ĂĄÂŽĂˆĂƒÉŠ Â… commissioned collaboration Ă—ÂœĂĄĂ—ĂˆĂšĂ”ÂœÂ’ĂĄÂŽĂˇÂœ ĂšĂ¤Ă—ĂˇÂœĂžĂš between composer Steve Reich and Ǻǽ ĂžÂœÂ…Ă—Ăš ĂˆÂŚ HENRY artist Gerhard Richter.

LAX Leads the Way Multibillion-dollar changes are underway at Los Angeles’ major gateway, with more on the horizon.

N I CK ME RR IC K © HE DR I CH B LES S I NG 201 6

Change is in the air at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX; flylax.com), which is in the midst of a massive multibillion-dollar renovation. Known as the Landside Access Modernization Program (LAMP), the project is scheduled to be completed by 2023, and will allow LAX to better serve its more than 87 million air-travel passengers a year. While many of the improvements, including a redesigned Tom Bradley International Terminal and revamped retail and dining options, have been completed, there are many more in progress for travelers to look forward to.

AIRPORT REPORT

Making Connections In March 2019, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), the city department that runs the airport, broke ground on the largest component of LAMP, an elevated driverless electric train, or automated people mover. What may sound like a whimsical Disneyland ride is seriously good news for travelers. When complete, the time-saving people mover will glide across 2.25 miles of elevated guideway from the west side of LAX to a brandnew consolidated rental car facility on the airport’s east side.

Guests will be able to ride from end to end in about 10 minutes, with trains projected to run every two minutes between the peak hours of 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. The new rental-car structure, which will incorporate sustainable measures such as drought-tolerant California native plants and a solar farm, will combine more than 20 rental car companies under one roof and eliminate 3,200 rental-car shuttle trips per day.

In addition to stopping at three locations within LAX and the rental car facility, the people mover will feature stops at two intermodal transportation facilities. Slated to open in 2021, Intermodal Transportation Facility – West will offer drivers a convenient new option for pick-up and drop-off outside the terminal area. Expect about 4,500 parking spaces with shortand long-term options, along with valet parking and a meetand-greet space. The people mover will also provide a direct connection to LA Metro’s under-construction Crenshaw/LAX Line and Green Line light rail extension, allowing for easy car-free rides to the airport.

\Â…ÂťÂŽĂƒÂ§ DÄŒ While not part of the LAMP initiative, a new MidďŹ eld Satellite Concourse is under construction. With completion projected for summer 2020, the new concourse will feature 12 gates to provide more options for arriving international and domestic ights. Access to the concourse will be provided by bus and by a 1,000-foot-long underground pedestrian tunnel, complete with moving walkways and passenger mobility carts, from the Tom Bradley International Terminal.

The concourse’s contemporary, light-ďŹ lled new structure will offer 44,000 feet of food-and-beverage and retail space, and up to 57,000 square feet of airline club space. Other amenities include

80

two nursing rooms, a service-animal relief area, a quiet room, and children’s play areas. The concourse will also bring new aircraft aprons and taxiways, allowing for more aircraft movement across LAX’s two runway complexes.

Ä‘ Ă”Ă”Ă—ÂœÂ’ÂŽÂ…ĂĄÂŽĂˆĂƒ Travelers will welcome long layovers as they browse innovative and engaging in-terminal public art installations. Temporary exhibitions and permanent installations with works by local and regional artists will be displayed throughout the airport.

Digital Visibility Introduced to LAX in 2019, Aira allows people experiencing low vision or blindness to navigate the airport using their smartphones. The free mobile app connects travelers with highly trained navigators, who provide real-time audio instructions.

Status Check As work continues, an interactive map that includes current construction projects can be found at ylax.com. Just click on the hard hats. A new Twitter feed, @FlyLAXstats, provides frequently updated trafďŹ c, parking, and TSA wait-time information.
