What are Jason Pomeranc’s favorite restaurants in Los Angeles?
Gjelina in Venice has a progressive take on its food — you can get oysters and pizza and grilled squid. Caulfield’s at Thompson Beverly Hills is really good at what it does, believe me. It has comfort foods on the menu, which you don’t find everywhere in L.A., but they are simple and nicely prepared. -

What are Jason Pomeranc’s favorite New York restaurants?
I’m still liking Indochine, even though it’s been around for a long time. I love Blue Ribbon. And Lupa in Soho for good Italian is standard. -

What are Jason Pomeranc’s favorite bars in New York?
I don’t go out that much, at least not to the clubs anymore. I like the downtown lounges that serve good drinks like The Double Seven and Electric Room and Avenue. -

What are Jason Pomeranc’s favorite things to do in Los Angeles?
In L.A. there’s so much to do. I recommend getting a local to take you to his favorite places to hike or his favorite beach. It’s nice to have a local show you these things, because you can’t walk around L.A. and discover them yourselves like you can in New York. Take advantage of the few areas of pedestrian shopping.
The city is popping in February and March, when it’s awards season. That’s when it really comes alive. But July and August are nice for the beach. And fall has a good vibe, too. It all depends on what reason you are visiting. -

What are Jason Pomeranc’s favorite things to do in New York?
I love walking the city. It’s just an amazing city to walk around and take it all in. Definitely visit Central Park. The thing about New York is that you don’t need to be a tourist. You can go to all the different neighborhoods, just walk and blend in and go to the local restaurants and parks.
Definitely go there during the fall, from September through Thanksgiving. The weather is still nice and all the energy is back in the city.
