Issa Rae Launches New Restaurant In South Central Los Angeles

Issa Rae is continuing to invest in the South Central Los Angeles area!

The actress/producer recently celebrated the debut of her new restaurant, Somerville, which held its grand opening weekend on Nov. 23.

Recalling how the eatery came to be in a recent Instagram post, she wrote:

“Always wanted a neighborhood lounge to complement the special community that is View Park-Windsor Hills. The genius GVO Gentlemen said, how about a restaurant? @somerville.slauson — an ode to the classic, artistic past of Black South Central L.A? And sure, the ambience will be fantastic, but the food and cocktails will keep you coming back… I said: ?????????.”
