From Sitcoms to Farm Markets, Charms Abound in Los Angeles. MY wife doesn't like Los Angeles. "The cars," she says, "the smog — it's a wasteland!" In the decade Nina and I have been married, I have never come close to convincing her that the cradle of global popular culture has any redeeming qualities — but it's always fun trying.

More than most cities, serious online legwork is a prerequisite to rooting out L.A.'s charms, but they are multifold: even before we arrived I knew our problem would be time, not money.

Still, I'd been given a budget of $500 for the trip, and the weekend would need to be carefully planned.

...Passing a stretch of Fairfax Avenue known as Little Ethiopia, we spotted Rahel, which claims to be the city's only vegan Ethiopian restaurant. In spite of our incompletely-developed appetites, we sat down to a platter of vegan versions of classic Ethiopian wots, or stews, spread out on teff injera, the sourdough flat bread.

We finished with the traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony, and under the influence of the coffee and incense I could see that Nina was warming to Los Angeles. With a glass of telba (a cool flax smoothie) lunch was $20.
