I'm moving from the suburbs of LA to NYC this summer. Here are the 6 restaurants I'll miss the most once I relocate to the Big Apple.

I was raised in Walnut, California, a suburb located 25 miles outside of downtown Los Angeles, and lived there until I attended the University of Southern California.

Growing up in a foodie's heaven, there was no shortage of new eats to try. From the vegan cuisines of Little Ethiopia to the authentic Mexican food in hubs like Boyle Heights, Echo Park, and Highland Park, visiting a new spot every weekend with family and friends quickly became a habit.

I've always wanted to live in New York, and since I decided to stay in California for college I figured post-grad would be the perfect time to start anew in the Big Apple. After some (admittedly stressful) apartment hunting, my three friends and I signed a lease for an apartment in Little Italy, a neighborhood located in lower Manhattan.

As I pack up my things and move for the first time ever away from Los Angeles, I'm also saying goodbye to some of my favorite spots. After I relocate, these are restaurants I'll write home about, and visit as soon as the plane hits the tarmac at LAX.

This fresh fish poke chain completely embodies the flavors of Los Angeles. With unique twists on classic poke staples, there is nothing better than a Sweetfin bowl on a hot summer day, in my opinion.

Even though the downtown Los Angeles location was the closest to school, my friends and I would venture to the Silver Lake spot so we could wash our poke down with a coffee from Alfred.

Each protein choice is packed with "California-inspired" flavors and I usually opt to "build your own bowl," but there are plenty of signature pre-made bowls to choose from. In my bowl, I prefer a mix of yellowfin and albacore tuna on a bed of bamboo rice. For sauces, I like the ponzu lime but for those who enjoy a little spice, the sriracha ponzu is the way to go.

For a hard shell taco that could put any street taco to shame, turn to Tito's Tacos in Culver City. Established in 1959 with only one location, this Los Angeles staple is well worth the wait, however, don't be intimidated by the line that wraps around the corner, they move quickly.

Since this is my mom's favorite restaurant, some of my earliest memories involve a Tito's hard shell taco with cheese. Whether it was after a Dodgers game or a trip to the Culver City stairs, Tito's Tacos was always on the menu.

Tacos aren't the only options, you can pick between a hard shell taco, burrito, tamale, or enchilada. Everything is served in a brown box, which means your food choices will remain a mystery to all.

Tucked in a corner in Silver Lake, a trendy LA neighborhood filled with good food, street art, and incredible views, sits The Silver Lake House. Formerly known as Leela Thai Restaurant, this enchanting home was transformed into a restaurant with some of the best Thai food in Los Angeles.

I suggest trying one of their curries, which I will miss desperately after my move. The best way to experience this menu is to share it, so bring all your friends and family for a sunset dinner under the patio lanterns.

In the above photo, my friend and I shared the pad see ew, the yellow curry (my personal favorite), and the drunken noodles.

My friends and I discovered Blueys Cafe & Market when we were on the hunt for the perfect pre-beach brunch, and it most definitely delivered.

Located less than three miles from the Santa Monica Pier, the cafe is the perfect pit stop before hitting the beach. The Australian cafe's ambiance is straight out of a Bondi Beach decor Pinterest board and their food is just as delicious.

You can't dine at Blueys without ordering the picture-perfect sweet squash pancakes. Wash the unique menu option down with any item on their beverage menu (I suggest the fresh coconut water) and hit the Pacific Coast Highway which leads to the beach.

On a cold New York morning, I'll miss the hot chai served at Bohemian House of Espresso + Chai the most. This cafe, owned and operated by the legendary Blackie, serves up hugs on a platter. Everything on the menu is made with all-natural ingredients, sweetened with dates and the chai is ground on the spot.

Blackie will most likely greet you at the entrance, ready to give you a suggestion or a sample of something on the menu. In truth, anything you order will be made fresh and with love right in front of you.

I am already preparing myself for the intense cravings of Fat Sals' that will hit after a long night out. This deli takes greasy hangover food to the extreme with sandwiches stuffed with mozzarella sticks, onion rings, chicken fingers, and more.

With multiple locations across the LA area, there is no shortage of Fat Sal's sandwiches. I suggest the Westwood location, down the street from UCLA, for a younger late-night crowd.

You name it, and Fat Sal's will put it in a sandwich for you. My go-to is the chili cheese fries, but you can't go wrong with any "fat sandwich," just be sure to go on an empty stomach.
