It's that time again. Our annual, or mostly annual, 99 Essential L.A. Restaurants issue is now out. Thus it's time to pick up a copy or two, check the online list, look through the gallery of Anne Fishbein's stunning photos — all of which you may want to avoid doing when overly hungry. To help you in your city-wide journey, we've also put together a Google Map of the 99 as a handy tool for when you visit — or revisit — some or all of the many restaurants that we've picked as “essential” for 2013.

See the interactive map after the jump.
