GQ magazine once called Abbot Kinney Boulevard the coolest block in America. Great. But the coolest thing about the AKB is the monthly first Friday art extravaganzas. Enjoy.
4pm: Amble west to Venice’s beach boardwalk, officially named Ocean Front Walk. The people are pure California: tanned surfers and punk skateboarders. Sprawl on the sand and catch an idyllic sunset.
Beautiful rooftop bar with beautiful people. The mountains are the backdrop. The bartender Blaze was friendly, fast and very knowledgeable.
Awesome views, of LA and the sky above it. Bonus: really close to the Hollywood sign.
Nearly 2,500 stars, from Marilyn Monroe to Matt Damon, have been immortalized in cement on this 18-block Hollywood landmark. Tip: Download the official iPhone app to pinpoint your fave celeb!
Frank Geary at his best. Try to take a boring photograph of this thing. Just try.
A completely worthwhile museum made all the more worthwhile by the insanely photogenic lamp posts installation in front of the main entrance.
Perfect place to kill a diet. Start with the Death by Duck which is duck fat fries topped with duck confit then move on to the waffle battered fried chicken with maple syrup and hot sauce. Orgasmic.
Very nice beans roasted on the east coast by Gimme. Not an easy setup, it's a store and a coffee place, can get a bit confusing with the waiting lines and all. The place is extremely hipster cute ;)
Continues the high standard (and lines) that DTLA location is know for. There's a magic to their cookery with how rich their sandwiches come out. Still one of the best breakfast sandwiches in LA.
Tasting flight, corn hole, board games, and dart. Currently dart is not working out so well, all the darts are broken. Every chill spot
With that beer lineup, the fact that Fritzi is attached to it (did someone say potato waffles?), and cornhole, skee ball, and table tennis, Arts District Brewing is basically one giant tailgate party. Read more.
The Getty Center is the world’s most comprehensive arts, conservation and education institution
Stunning architecture. The way the light leeks in from the veil and the oculus window is 👌🏻
The only off-leash hiking in LA, this is the best place to let your dog run free. We like the short hike to Indian Rock, the highest point in the canyon. Also known for the great celebrity-spotting! Read more.
Probably as close to the sign as you can get. And most people don't know about this place so it isn't crowded. You get a view of the city on the other side of the cliff
