the rain, rain has finally gone away in the city of angels. find your kiss, get a tattoo and make sure your cup runneth over with our list of february eats.

currying favor.
desperate for face time? hit goa, hollywood's newest supper club that could be mistaken for a hollywood harem. persian rug covered walls, embroidered pillows and pretty people decorate this indian resto. it's the spot where lindsay, the olsen girls, paris and bruce regularly dodge the paparazzi out front. Inside you'll see them noshing at the sushi bar. yeah we said sushi. it's LA after all. anything goes. now open. 1615 cahunega boulevard. at selma. 323.465.1615.


kiss, kiss.
with her show on hiatus, eva longoria has plenty of time to finally open her latin restaurant, beso. she's been busy picking out uniforms and sharing her fave tex-mex recipes with chef todd english. pass the ceviche and pour the margaritas. opens february. 6350 hollywood boulevard. at ivar. 323.467.7991. www.toddenglish.com


tapping the tapas.
joe miller, who dishes out california-french cuisine at his popular and eponymous resto, switches countries with his latest endeavor bar pintxo (pronounced "pin-cho"). think dates wrapped in bacon with cabralas cheese at this intimate tapas bar. it's getting our tongues rolling. now open. 109 santa monica boulevard. at ocean. 310.458.2012. www.barpintxo.com


tattoo you.
after months of mystery, irezumi (that's "tattoo" in japanese) opens in costa mesa. dramatic tattoo art panels cascade towards the floor of this sushi lounge, while vintage samurai and godzilla movies play on the plasmas. hand-picked seafood from local markets aren't your thing? there's always the black pepper, niman ranch filet mignon with wasabi mashed potatoes. opens early to mid-february. 901 south coast drive. near bear. no phone yet. www.morproject.com


cup runneth over.
jonesing for a stylish java joint on the east side? head to the recently opened lamill coffee. this silver lake outpost offers unique java combos like the "coffee and a cigarette," which features tobacco infused whipped cream. chef michael cimarusti (of providence), dishes up pumpkin soup with crème fraiche, and friseee salad au lardon with coffee vinaigrette. now open. 1636 silver lake boulevard. at effie. 323.663.4441. www.lamillcoffee.com
