A landmark since 1917, and dubbed “the gateway to Downtown
L.A.”, the newly renovated food court is the best place to
experience the culinary diversity of Los Angeles. A food lover’s
dream come true, it’s now home to over 50 food and drink stalls
ranging from a cold press juicery to Sarita’s Pupuseria serving
up Salvadoran pupusas (thick corn tortillas) and the new Jewish
deli from chef Micah Wexler. Grand Central Market’s reputation
is so good that the director of Dine L.A. – food blogger Stacey
Sun – had her wedding rehearsal dinner there.

appeared on the music scene in
2013. The singer and songwriter’s dusky
voice and her R&B-infused tracks
quickly developed a cult following, with
her debut album Goddess reaching the
top 20 in several countries. We spoke to
this captivating artist about finding her
sound, just what it takes to be a goddess
and the little black dress you should
never travel without.

B: My music and my sound just comes

I’ve been inspired by women who
are fearless, like Tracy Chapman and
Lauryn Hill.

SM: You’re part of a new wave of
women breathing life into R&B music.
Which female musicians are on your
radar?
B: Lorde, the girls at Haim are incredible
and Beyoncé.
SM: Is L.A. kind to the creative?
B: I didn’t really notice all of the
pressure that people sometimes talk
about here. I’ve always been kind of a
lone wolf. I just make my music and
don’t group myself.
SM: Which 90s musician do you most
SM: Where do you hang out in L.A.
when you have time off?
B: INAKA for amazing macrobiotic
Japanese food in an intimate setting.
ErEwhoN for incredible groceries
and fresh lunch. GrIffIth PArK for
beautiful hikes. ABBot KINNEy in

around and No VAcANcy for drinks

identify with?
B: Fiona Apple.
SM: What does it mean to be a
goddess?
B: Being a goddess means being fearless
and unapologetic about who you are. It
means embracing all kinds of feelings,
even the days when you feel fragile,
shameful or weak. It’s about being
human.
SM: Can you tell us a bit about your
decision to post your personal phone
number on the internet?
B: I wasn’t into social media so I did it
my own way. The thought of a younger
version of me texting Fiona Apple and
getting a response is just crazy.
SM: And finally, what’s in your
suitcase?
B: An eyebrow brush because mine get
wild, chapstick, a black Alexander Wang
dress, black Rag & Bone boots and a
vintage black cape.

t 29 years old, A-list actress Scarlett Johansson has been
number of challenges.
‘Well the Highlands were a new travel experience for me. The
weather was harsh and it was like Scotland was trying to expel
us from the land! But that certainly added to the atmosphere –
it’s so much easier to get into a role or into a character when all
around you there is so much that’s not normal. There were some
fantastically bleak shoots in absolute wilderness and I loved that.
I also loved the busy, slightly raw thrill of being in Glasgow, so
Shooting on locations as culturally diverse as Barcelona, the
Highlands and Taipei, Johansson has become adept at packing
the perfect suitcase. A regular on film sets since childhood,
she’s familiar with globetrotting for business, while her muchdocumented yachting escapades demonstrate that, like the rest
Scarlett’s
Scarlett Johansson reveals the things that
keep her grounded when travelling from
continent to continent
of us, she can’t resist the lure of a luxury holiday.
The American actress may have a well-stamped passport, but
she’s adamant that her upbringing has kept her, in one sense of
the word, grounded.
‘I never moved to LA,’ she explains. ‘It was just a step too far for
me and that’s why I’ve always stayed in New York – it’s nice to
have consistency, to have my friends around me, and to know
the place so well.
‘It’s also a great gateway to travel, particularly when heading
to Europe for whatever reason, and that’s always been really
important to me.’
Books, apps and snacks
Born to an architect father, and a mother from the Bronx,
Johansson identifies with the urban sprawl of the Big Apple. ‘I
know that city better than the back of my hand,’ she declares.
‘New York doesn’t give a sh*t basically, so it feels like we are all
crammed together in this one crazy city, these different socioeconomic backgrounds, different races, different cultures. It’s a
melting pot; that’s its real attraction.’
(SPS)

And it’s just as well that Johansson is such a fan of life Stateside,
given that she may find herself marooned there for a few months
this year following the birth of her first child – due later this
year with advertising executive fiancé Romain Dauriac.
Much of the past year has been spent on the road, however.
And despite the actress’s love of cultural diversity, she recently
swapped the American metropolis for the rugged contours of

a passion for travel certainly helps.
it was like two very different experiences within the same film.’
Rural highlands and urban high-rises may not have much in
common, but both environments afford Johansson one luxury.
‘In New York I can walk everywhere and no one ever bothers me.
People in New York… when they see a celebrity, they look, shrug
their shoulders, and continue on.’
Playing an alien traipsing the Earth in search of human prey in
Glasgow, Scarlett’s role included luring real-life Glaswegians
into her van – after filming, the unsuspecting men were asked
to sign a contractual agreement. The lack of recognition was
refreshing for the actress.
‘I think the film’s intentions replicated the intentions of any
traveller – you really want to immerse yourself in the real people
behind a place, whether that’s in Glasgow or London or Madrid
or wherever. You need to get away from the tour guides and the
typical tourist traps, and that’s what we achieved. I loved that.’
While professional paparazzi, in New York at least, are easy
to deal with, Johansson reveals that what she calls ‘citizen
paparazzi’ are quite a different matter. Laughing, she recounts
a tale of being spotted at the airport by a middle-aged woman.
‘She asked me, “Oh, my daughter is your biggest fan and she loves
your work so much. Are you Taylor Swift?”’
Perhaps the country pop star can become a useful alias. After all,
next time the actress is spotted in the waiting lounge it may be
harder to devise a quick escape; a baby in tow makes for a heck
of a lot more luggage!

JOSIE AYRE
“A guest asked us to put a love letter he had written into an empty
bottle, which we did along with a rose, and placed it on the beach
where we knew they would walk after dinner. The couple came
across the bottle; the lady picked it up and read the love letter as her
partner kneeled down to propose to which she said yes of course.”
Nicholas Mason, General Manager, Angsana Velavaru
With resorts in the Seychelles, Maldives and Mauritius, their
A-team staff are on hand to make your celebration truly
unforgettable.

ANA’s flights from Tokyo will now feature a new menu with Japanese and French
dishes developed by world-renowned chefs, Toru Okuda and Pierre Gagnaire.
Together they represent some of the best that Sweden
has to offer; a city that is itself becoming known for so
much more than its palatial beauty and cobbled streets,
but for its urban culture. You can learn more about the

“One gentleman wanted to surprise his wife with a romantic
dinner. We decided to liaise with our Spa team to convert one of
the Spa Pavilions on the beach into a private venue for the dinner,

one of the Indian Ocean’s best beaches, nestled between tropical
verdant hills. Just a short drive from the airport, the resort offers

have their roots in performance art. Their sound is the
product of rich layering of bass, acoustic guitar and
raw vocals – the kind of music that you find yourself
singing all day long. As Emily puts it: “Stockholm is the
most inspiring of all cities, because you are constantly
surrounded by beautiful, crumbling architecture, that
speaks of the past as well as the future”.
Gagnaire’s artistic approach to French gastronomy has garnered
three Michelin stars for his flagship restaurant at the Hotel
Balzac in Paris. From December 1, first-class passengers will
be treated to dishes developed by Gagnaire such as a cushion
of roast Hakkinton pork accompanied by a slice of aubergine,
tomme cheese from Savoie, chorizo and black rice with red
pepper.
Similarly adorned with Michelin stars, Toru Okuda is regarded
as the grand master of Kaiseki cuisine, an ancient Japanese
culinary art which reveals the importance of produce and meat
according to the seasons. Okuda has chosen to create both
hot and cold dishes to refresh passengers on long-haul flights.
Available now, first-class passengers can be treated to eight
elaborate dishes, including octopus and adzuki beans simmered
in soy sauce, all while cruising at an altitude of 30,000ft.
