One of the most distinct places in LA, and also one of the best to stroll for a few hours. The houses' architecture is fascinating. Beware of marauding flocks of geese. They will snarl at you.
If you're looking for a little swank, head up to this roof bar and lay inside one of those huge Hershey's Kisses.
Oh, sure, it's a lovely garden, but the stars of the show are the peacocks that roam about the grounds.
Is it the second Tuesday of the month? If so, git yerself downtown between 12:00pm and 9:00pm cuz there's some arting going down. Go earlier if you want lighter crowds. And you don't have a job.
Much cooler than I would have expected. Neat interactive elements and good diversity of topics.
Remember being 16? You had a car, but the only wholesome activities available were minigolf, an arcade, or batting cages? This place has all 3, so you can revisit being 16 very efficiently.
This a good burrito, maybe the best of the burritos. Eat this burrito. Also, for those looking for a bit of that fabled "local flavor," you'll get it here.
My wife and I went on our first date here. Sorta. We didn't know it was a date at the time. Point being, you'll marry anyone with whom you dine.
This is where to go to get all things English, including tea and scones in the back room.
It's crowded, touristy, and often filled with screaming children, but it's a lovely structure with fantastic views. I suggest parking on the street below and taking the slightly strenuous walk up.
If riding a horse on Los Angeles trails is your cup of tea, this is your place.
People go here to walk around a bunch of water. It's more entertaining than it sounds.
This is one of the better overlooks in the city. You get downtown, the ocean, and the Hollywood Sign.
Pick a warm evening and go see a show. It doesn't really matter if you're into the music; the setting itself is more than enough to make it a great night.
Come for the art. Come for the architecture. Come for the gardens. Come for the food. Just come here.
Miles of well-traffic trails with great views of the city and the Hollywood sign. And, if you're one of those people who recognizes b-list celebrities, you'll enjoy it here.
Whole wheat pancake with brown sugar. Get it. No human can eat the stack of 3; 1 is typically sufficient. The french press coffee will make your head-a-splode.
If you want to have an "I sat next to [celebrity]" moment, go into the hotel and go to the bar. This is different than the main bar, which is frequented by, well, not celebrities.
Get the mee goreng with an egg. It's phenomenal. Michael, the owner, is a cool dude.
Often crazily crowded, but sitting outside on a nice day with a latte is never a bad choice.
