Parks & Nature

Wide open space can be hard to come by in the city. This park has plenty! Plus a wide path that winds all the way around the park for a nice walk—or for your kids to scooter or skate!

Even though Venice Beach is a walk away, we love venturing to El Porto for a long day in the sun. There's metered parking and it's a popular surfing spot. It can be cleaner and a bit less hectic than Venice or Santa Monica beaches.

Sightseeing

We love the classic ambiance of this authentic vintage LA market (founded in 1934)! Tons of food options for every taste and budget. Don't miss Littlejohn's English Toffee! The market is right next door to The Grove and down the street from LACMA and the Petersen Automotive Museum.

Explore one of the oldest spots in LA! We've been know to make a special detour for Cielito Lindo's taquitos! Olvera Street is packed with vendors, restaurants, and museums! A great place to buy a colorful Mexican blanket or a pair of authentic huaraches!

Been going to the SM Pier since I was a kid. Such an iconic So Cal spot. Love the arcade, the historic carousel, and just walking around and taking in the sights. The ferris wheel is worth the cost—amazing views on clear days! Can't speak much to the food on the pier, so many better places close by to eat. It can also get crazy crowded in this part of Santa Monica, but a visit here makes for a fun outing with tons of photo ops!

Forget Hollywood Boulevard and check out this old preserved movie set that was once used to film Westerns, other movies and TV shows. It's located in the beautiful Santa Monica mountains so you can add on any number of hikes to your day. You'll feel a million miles away from the bustle of the city.

Food Scene

"Quality Forever!" The most delicious burgers and pies have been served at this iconic restaurant since 1947. Our standard order is a Hickory Burger with fries and a slice of banana cream pie! It can get crowded and you might have to wait for one of the only 26 seats, so try to go during off hours. Also remember it's cash only!

Come here for an authentic (with a fresh Cali update) French meal of organic rotisserie chicken, and a delicious selection of perfectly prepared side dishes. All meals come with a generous supply of au jus! This place is best enjoyed as "take out". Bring it back to the Bungaloft and enjoy a delicious meal on the patio with a bottle of red!

Our local Japanese market. All kinds of Japanese provisions, plus a food court, and a great gift shop (especially if you're a pen lover!) We like to pick up some sushi-grade salmon and top it with spicy mayo, wasabi, and green onions. Great selection of Asian beers and sake. Don't miss the candy aisle either!
