Guest Editor: Petty Cash x The Gramlist

Lists. Published August 20, 2015June 8, 2021.

The Gramlist asked the team at colorful taqueria Petty Cash Los Angeles (Mid-City & Arts District) who they follow from around the neighborhood.

In-between Farmer’s Market visits and making tortillas, we check our Instagram feed all day long. And since we follow so many local friends, it feels like a digital neighborhood, with @buzzfeed down the street and @lifeandthyme nearby. We know which chef has been to the farmer’s market that day and who’s trying a new tasting menu. We also get to see what our favorite regulars and local creatives are up to. The accounts we love have more than just beautiful photos: the people behind them are creative friends and family to Petty Cash.

We love both their style —and how much they love Petty Cash, of course.

One of our chefs, Walter Manzke, opened this delicious restaurant right down the street from us. It’s our favorite brunch and lunch in town, and their social media girl, Joanna, takes stunning photos.

Taylor owns a great home decor shop and is one of our regulars. She did the best Instagram takeover and posted all the coolest things from her store (including an antique typewriter on our rooftop garden). Espionage is our go-to for gifts.

Kelcey aka KFiSH paints murals all over LA, and he left his mark at our Arts District location. (Eater posted this video of Kelcey and Walter, putting the mural up).

A glimpse into Chef Walter’s restaurant in Manila. It’s great to see what our sister restaurant is doing all the way across the world.

A reliable source to get a good laugh on a daily basis. Plus, they’re neighbors so we like to spread the love to those nearby.

Their models are just as nice to look at as the clothes they post. And, they’re fellow Angelenos.

As new neighbors in the Arts District, it’s only normal that we order their signature bone marrow dish a few times a week, right?

Wes Avila started this place as a hand-pushed street cart in 2012. Now, he makes some of the most inventive tacos in downtown LA. Wes was also a guest chef during our Test Kitchen run.

Her skateboarding game is as as strong as her photography skills. Her old-school Cali style, like jeans and plaid and Vans, doesn’t hurt.
