New NHM Grill Now Open!
The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM) has selected Trimana to operate the Museum’s foodservice operations. The NHM Grill opened July 18.
The new restaurant will eventually open onto the Museum’s vibrant Nature Gardens, 3.5 acres of urban wilderness experiences and exhibits, set to debut in 2013.
Trimana, a restaurant and catering group, has 52 locations in Los Angeles — the majority of them provide fast-casual dining in office building space. It has recently expanded to other venues, including the LAUSD headquarters, and several new venues are under development.
The new NHM Grill serves a variety of made-to-order gourmet grilled sandwiches and burgers, fresh salads and wraps, made-from-scratch soups, kid-friendly favorites, vegetarian options, and a large variety of snacks.
Bringing Your Own Food?
If you’re bringing your own food, we invite you to picnic under the trees on the grass in front of the Museum, or on the picnic benches overlooking the Rose Garden adjacent to the Museum.
Help us Preserve Our Collections
