Some beloved spots in L.A. for Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff

Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, recently sat down with The Times for their first joint interview since Harris took office. The couple talked about their family life, what L.A. means to them and their favorite spots in the city. Here’s a list of a few of them.

Harris and Emhoff are passionate about music. The pair frequently attended shows at the Bowl, including “Black Movie Music Night,” an event put on by Harris’ friend and filmmaker Reginald Hudlin.

As a Westside lawyer and student at USC, Emhoff ate at the original location on Western. But the couple have made the Santa Monica location, just a five-minute drive from their house, a regular feature of their trips home. Harris and Emhoff always make time for Mexican while they’re in town.

The couple spend a lot of time meandering through Brentwood Country Mart, where Harris picks up produce for her Sunday dinners and Emhoff drops in for a haircut at Lloyd’s Barbershop.

Harris likes to buy special-occasion gifts, including Cole Emhoff’s wedding present, at the 87-year-old luxury homeware and jewelry store in Beverly Hills.

Emhoff and Harris are fans of the rotisserie chicken chain and frequent the Sepulveda location.

As attorney general, Harris had an office in downtown L.A. She would often seek out mole from Guelaguetza, America’s most famous Oaxacan restaurant.

Emhoff and Harris enjoy dinner at the upscale Brentwood-based Italian restaurant, located just a short distance from the their house.

The West Hollywood celebrity haunt was the scene of Harris and Emhoff’s first date.

Before he became the nation’s first second gentleman, Emhoff loved to golf. He was a member of Hillcrest, L.A.’s historically Jewish private club.

During frequent trips to Brentwood Country Mart, Frida’s taqueria has become a staple for the couple. Harris and Emhoff said they always make time for Mexican food while they’re home.

Harris tapped the local female-owned candle company to craft a signature scented candle she gives to foreign dignitaries or visitors at the Vice President’s Residence in Washington, D.C.

Emhoff favors charging up and down the Santa Monica stairs when he’s looking to break a sweat at home. In Washington, he’s traded in the beach-and-bluffs view for a flight of steps on Georgetown University’s campus made famous by “The Exorcist.”
