There's a separate bar menu offering snacks like a caramelized onion-and-frisee tart, fried calamari, "baked potato" fries and wings, all of which are under $10. Read more.
These guys make a mean old fashioned cocktail with the cherries that were once dried and reconstituted in alcohol. Also the duck confit pancakes were absolutely delicious. Chill by the pool and tan.
Come for happy hour & a sunset...the hot toddy with bouron is a tasty sensation on a cool LA night!
Terrific place for drinks and a late afternoon bite with a nice view of the Hollywood Hills as well as the mid-Wilshire corridor.
Spectacular view and has one of the best planetariums! Centered in the Universe is a must see!
Arrive just before dusk to watch an incredible sunset and the Planetarium show. After dark, use the free large telescopes on the roof to see crystal clear images of the moon and stars. #vday
Grab your hiking boots and make your way from the Los Angeles Zoo to the Griffith Observatory, made famous by “Rebel Without a Cause.” Stop at Trails Café for lunch.
Yrs of lovely, romantic moments here :)...my #1 spot for the most spectacular views of LA! Go watch the sunset, visit Planetarium, & see the stars w/ the lawn telescopes instead of lining up 4 Zeiss.

The garden was extremely relaxing. Set up reservations if you want to eat at the restaurant otherwise go to larger cafe below it for a nice meal.
Take he architecture tour. It's free and takes about 45min. You will learn so many things that will make you appreciate the Getty Center even more!
Near Van Goghs irises there is a awesome balcony with an awesome view that most people neglect! Good photo op!
Go to the far left corner past the fountain and go up those stairs. The most amazing view of the city!
Visit Van Gogh's "Irises" on the top floor of the West Pavilion. The free audio tour that you get in the main building is def worth listening to. Do the tour of the Getty Grounds too.
The Getty's many terraces offer fabulous views of the sunset. The best place to watch is from the Garden Terrace Cafe
Celebrated my big 4-0 @ this old Hollywood haunt w/ my best LA friends. Come for the drinks, grounds & sunset views but not for the pricey food.

Order up a round of unique appetizers -- duck club sandwiches, frog legs and bone marrow -- and drink until 2 a.m. Read more.
Music is a bit strange for a bar but its one of my favorite rooftop spots in DTLA. Only the full bar inside serves the real cocktails. Head to the outside bars for anything else.
Selfpark across the street for $6 and you don't have to worry for the whole night. Great rooftop bar. Try to get there 10:30 for a 'shorter' line.

Chips so good. Drinks too. View is the best - go to watch the sunset. Also has live jazz!
For fish so fresh you can watch it struggle, try this Mediterranean restaurant/sushi bar. The oceanside views will be relaxing for you, though not so much for your homesick entree. Read more.
If your not insistant on the Pacific ocean view...grab a comfortable leather chair table just east of the bar. Happy Hour 4-7 (sharp). Read more.

I love that there is an Umami Burger at the Grove! But I don't love that it is IMPOSSIBLE to find a place to charge electronic devices besides the Apple Store!
Movies, five star food, and shopping! One of my fave places in LA. The A&F store is a must see unlike any other A&F stores! Also a popular place to see famous celebs! Read more.
A touristy spot but I still love the Grove for the relaxed shopping atmosphere, tacos & aguas frescos at La Lotería in Farmers Mkt, & the star-sightings. Also, I get my parking validated in the Mkt.
Classic LA rooftop action includes a pool with private cabanas, a hip bar and views of the Hollywood Hills.
Bouillabaisse is goooooood. Should totally save the appetizer bread for the broth
They have sazeracs and old fashioneds on tap here. Amazing view of the city. Johnny Depp lives in The Eastern next door. Dip your feet in the pool & get an alcoholic slushi or chill under the canopies
Great outdoor space for happy hour (cheap tacos) and indoor club lounge place for music and flamenco dancing. Watch your step down.

There are TWO lines for ordering. The shorter one is usually on the right (closer to the soda fountain) and snakes back towards the fresh fish counter. Also, they now take Visa and MasterCard.
Solid wine selection along with bottles of Stella if you'd prefer a beer. Located on the Hill St. side of Grand Central market. Tried the oysters, tuna poke and shrimp cocktail, was very impressed.
Quite possibly the tastiest torta I've eaten yet. Al Pastor piled high with lettuce, tomato and spicy salsa makes for a solid sandwich at $7.00
Be sure to check out the daily special & eat at the counter, as its open kitchen is a delight to observe. Menu favorites include Hanin Chicken over garlic rice, Thai sausage and Thai BBQ chicken.
Best eggs and sandwiches in LA!! My personal favorites are the nita, Avo burger, skirt steak and eggs, the Fairfax and the slut!!!!
Wait time is not worth it. Only item which makes it a bit special is the "Slut". The other sandwiches are okay and do not warrant the long waiting time.
