"It's always adult swim here—this is where the well-heeled grown-ups linger over their foie gras for at least a few hours. To wit: Mister A's requests business casual attire (collared shirts and closed-toe shoes for men) before 4:30 p.m. But that also means the fine dining at this institution is above reproach."

"A photo posted by @devilsdozendonuts on Aug 28, 2016 at 11:59am PDT. Devil’s Dozen in Little Italy offers more than just the traditional Maple Bar or Chocolate Twist. Their menu includes Nutella Hazelnut, S’mores, Churro Bites, and their Tres Leches Cake which is the delicious love child of a cake and a donut; it may be a sin (get it?!?) to taste this good!"
