2026-02-17 6 Dailymotion

To celebrate the city of Los Angeles in the wake of last year's devastating fires, AD asked a group of iconic Angelenos to share their favorite local places. This is Ali Wong’s love letter to LA. Wong joins AD at Bistro Na’s, an LA restaurant inspired by Qing dynasty imperial design. The comedian and actress explores how the ornate interiors, transportive ambiance, and rare imperial Chinese cuisine make her feel like she’s stepped into ancient China without leaving Los Angeles.

AD is proud to partner with The Foothill Catalog Foundation and San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity to help rebuild homes in Altadena. To donate, go to https://sgvhabitat.charityproud.org/Donate/Index/40825
