THINK GREENS

Even as it cools down, a perfect salad is always a healthy choice. When you’re in L.A. next, perhaps try the money-is-no-object selection at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The signature McCarthy Salad runs $1,912. Seem steep? It does come packed with gold flakes, lobster, caviar, and a bottle of Dom Pérignon.
