Super funky and fun atmosphere with THE BEST vegetarian burger. Lots of thoughtful menu options that revolve around new takes on diner food with good local brews. Plus, the Vermont St. environs is a bohemian-chic shopping area.

Really good Mexican (not the sloppy. soupy version) in a chill mid-century ambiance. Great margaritas and music.

Absolutely beautiful view atop a hill with a grand vista of Hollywood and the LA basin. Swanky Japanese restaurant and bar with a beautiful garden. Fascinating architecture...used to be an embassy?

This is a very old Mexican restaurant. Sort of a hip scene, you can often see minor celebrities eating the homestyle cooking and drinking the strong margaritas. Kitschy decor with waitresses wearing authentic-looking Mexican dresses.

Sightseeing

Such a fun, hip shopping/eating/drinking/people-watching area along Vermont St. between Hollywood Blvd. and Franklin Ave. Take the time to walk over to Wacko/Luz de Jesus for a fascinating visit to the most interesting department store & art gallery you will ever visit. Books, toys, jewelry, clothes, tchotchkes...

You can't come all the way to LA and not see the Walk of Fame and the Chinese Theater. It is very touristy, but still fun. Lots of people watching and street performers, souvenir shopping and fun restaurants. Park in the Hollywood and Highland shopping center. You will be able to see the Hollywood sign while strolling along. You can book a tour to Beverly Hills or the westside form there.

Block after block of pedestrian streets with eateries, shopping, street performers and just a few blocks from the famous Santa Monica Beach where there is a pier with carnival rides and games. Very LA!

Park near the 3rd Street Promenade, then walk to Santa Monica Beach and head north up the beach boardwalk. You will see the transition from upscale Santa Monica to the quirky, hippie atmosphere of Venice Beach as you walk the 30 minutes. It's fun!

Just 30 minutes east of us, Pasadena has a great "old town" sort of shopping area along Colorado Blvd. High-end shops, with 100's of restaurants. Lots of beautiful craftsman style and Spanish colonial architecture.

Getting Around

LA is a driving city. Our public transportation is a work in progress. There is always Uber or Lyft, but buses are not a timesaving option.

Parks & Nature

Off the beaten path, but so worth it for a quintessential SoCal beach. You will have to climb down lots of stairs to get to the sand, but there are beautiful rock formations, a quiet, pristine beach, pelicans, and frequent dolphin sightings.

Entertainment & Activities

Super famous venue for concerts. Rock, pop, jazz, classical, musical sing-alongs... it is definitely worth it. You can often find inexpensive, last-minute tickets. Venue has a website for their calendar. You can bring or buy a picnic and spend a lovely evening under the stars with a bottle of wine, listening to an excellent concert.
