To sooth over-tired muscles with a massage and maybe a detox wrap, head for Kinara, the West Hollywood day spa co-owned by Christine Splichal of Patina, with a chic café that serves delicious food. Produce comes from the farmers’ market, and dishes are based on what’s healthy for the skin. You can get an open-face Nicoise tuna sandwich or poached wild salmon with pea shots. Chef Elizabeth Mendez proposes wonderful organic salads and chilled soups for lunch along with grilled asparagus with shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano. Dessert is panna cotta with fresh berries.
