Blue Magpie has quietly opened in Arcadia, offering a fresh take on Taiwanese cuisine just steps from Santa Anita Park. The space blends sleek design with tradition, while chef Leo Lo’s menu reimagines classics like three cup duck and pork belly with eggs. With tea-infused cocktails and weekend brunch, it’s a thoughtful, elegant addition to the San Gabriel Valley dining scene.

Malbec has expanded into the Arts District with its most refined location yet, featuring scalloped walls, vintage black and white photography, and warm lighting. The Argentinian menu leans bold with wood fired steaks, seafood pastas, empanadas, and a daily happy hour from 4:00pm to 6:00pm on the patio. It’s a stylish new option for date nights, group dinners, or post gallery bites in a cozy downtown setting.

From the team behind The Breakfast Bar, The Hare is a new late night spot serving cheeky cocktails and playful pies in a laid back Long Beach setting. Expect creative drinks like a Carrot Espresso Martini, pizza by the slice or whole pie, and a rotating menu of craveable bar bites.
