Everything Else
By far my favorite place for happy hour (4-7pm daily!). Sit out on the beautiful little patio if the weather's nice, or inside by the cozy fireplace if it's not! It's also great for dinner or tea.

My favorite burger in LA (and don't forget the sweet potato fries). They also have an impressive beer selection - but it's technically a bar, so you have to be 21 to enter.

After you gorge yourself on awesome Asian food on Sawtelle, go around the corner for this delicious shaved frozen yogurt (I think?) treat. Not exactly sure what it is, but it's delicious.

Sightseeing
If you want some fresh air (and a quad workout) make the trek up to this overlook. The stairs look daunting, but it's worth it. The view is especially nice in the early morning or at sunset!

A must for tourists. Even if you're not that into art (like me) the beautiful gardens and view of the city make it worth the trip. Plus, it's free!

A little out of the way, but a great hike. If you don't see the big waterfall, you haven't made it to the top yet. Go early, because it gets crowded (and hot).

This is a nice Italian restaurant (and gelato shop) but my favorite part is the wine bar in the back. It's like DIY wine tasting, where you use a prepaid card to dispense any wines you want to taste!
