Get your tastebuds ready, 'cause famed chef John Rivera Sedlar's restaurant Playa is almost open. We hear the Latin-influenced eatery will be the more casual little sister to Sedlar's already popular downtown restaurant Rivera. The good news is that virtuoso bartender Julian Cox is behind the cocktails and spirits at Playa, which will please Los Angelenos who are particular about their drinks. Mark your calendars for February 4th to experience the restaurant for yourself and give your stomach something to be thankful for! (LAist)
