Los Angeles Is Getting Its Very Own Museum of Ice Cream Soon

Here comes the Museum of Ice Cream

As if there weren’t enough foods to line up for in Los Angeles, here comes the Museum of Ice Cream. The East Coast hit caused massive backups when it landed in New York City last summer, but is now branching to the West Coast with an as-yet-undisclosed Westside location.

This job posting shows the dream is real, and everyone from Refinery 29 to LAist has shown off what’s to come (including a pool filled with sprinkles). But with the rainy season still upon us, the slated March opening could end up being a wetter one than anybody expected — not that it should dampen spirits for a museum entirely devoted to ice cream.

Big news for bread lovers

A new Spin

Spinfish Poke House has opened up its third location in Los Angeles, this one right in the thick of Little Tokyo. The Brunswig Square outlet is up and running now, following a grand opening party a couple of weeks ago.

Paris Baguette branches out

Normally known as a bakery catering to diverse Asian tastes in primarily Asian neighborhoods, Paris Baguette is now branching out into the Valley with a new Encino location. The fast casual option lands at 17136 Ventura Blvd. and should open this week, marking somewhere around 50 domestic stores for the international company with 3,700 locations globally.

More empanadas for all

Pies and drinks

One of the newer wine tasting rooms in Los Angeles, The Blending Lab, is hosting a wine pairing party with pies from The Pie Hole on March 4. You can get your tickets now, or show up at the door for some day-of action.
