A friend in NYC once told me avocados are like 2 for $5 there. I don't know if that's true, but maybe your friends would like a crate of avocados. 😃

Mexican candy? Local brands that are harder to find outside of Cali? For some reason I can only think of ice cream brands, which isn't very helpful. A box of Portuguese pastries from Porto's? Randy's donuts? The Cookie from Bristol Farms? A model-sized woodie wagon? Personalized art from Santa Monica Pier?

This is surprisingly hard!

Whoops apparently Porto's is Cuban, sorry for my error.

Hello all! So I’m currently a Realtor in LA. Prior to being a Realtor, I was a store manager for a luxury store in Beverly Hills. I was kind of forced to get out of retail when the pandemic hit so my only option at the time was to jump in to real estate as I already had my license. I’ve been feeling unfulfilled with real estate and truly miss luxury retail. Does anyone have any referrals for luxury retail jobs in Los Angeles? I would love to hear from you! Thank you for taking reading my post!
