Very good and very hip! If you have less than two people you should be able to get a table. If you have more than that you will most likely not get in.

Another great atmosphere! Decent French restaurant, but we go for the drinks and atmosphere. Make reservations because it gets very busy! You can always grab a pre dinner drink whether dinner is there or not and the bar is a bit hidden and has a different entrance.

Go Get Em Tiger
230 N Larchmont BlvdCute coffee shop
Sightseeing
This is one of our favorites! It is not a strip club! It is a burlesque club but there is no nudity. It is one of the most well known and loved places in LA!

Neighborhoods
This is the Williamsburg of LA. If that reference makes sense than no further reading is needed. If it doesn’t, it means the hood is filled with fit, healthy hipsters who like to eat fancy food and drink expensive coffee. Lots of cute shops too!

Hikes
Griffith Park is a 20 min walk and if filled with hikes. I recommend google the hikes and seeing what will fit your desires.
Nu rata
LA art museums
Although the LA art scene is a little behind NYC, London, and Paris it still has lots to offer! We recommend LACMA(currently under construction) MOCA, The Broad (pronounced Brode, and a heavy public favorite, AND FREE) the Getty (best views in LA) and last ,but certainly not least, The Marciano Projects (owned buy the Guess jeans family and in an old Masonic Temple!) There are many more to be seen, but these are the heavy hitters.

Night life
Just about the same as all cities. If you are out late at night you need to be weary of your surroundings. Definitely don’t buy drugs from strangers on the street. Weed is legal so just buy that at the store.

Reservations
Any popular restaurants or museum reservations need to be made well in advance to the trip. Specifically the The Broad museum (but you can always just wait in line.)
