My LA: Nicole Cari's Favorite Los Angeles Spots

Nicole Cari has long been one of our favorite L.A. ladies. Not only is her enthusiasm for our fair city truly infectious, but as the Director of Press and Marketing for Band Of Outsiders, she is basically a living, breathing advert for Scott Sternberg's line of preppy classics infused with SoCal cool. This Silverlake resident represents the best of Los Angeles style, and whether she's dressed down for a Sunday sojourn to the Rosebowl flea market (after a mandatory morning stop at Intelligentsia), or dolled up for the Golden Globes, she's a true insider who not only lives well but also looks good, so we were overjoyed to get this lovely Los Angeleno's hit list.

3922 West Sunset Boulevard (at Sanborn Avenue); 323-663-6173.

2. Trails Café: "I go here for a pre- or post-hike snack in Griffith Park. There's nothing like an avocado sammy and lemonade at one of their picnic tables."
