Get there early if you want to try a sandwich from Eggslut! The lines can be long, but the food at ANY of the pop-up style restaurants are worth the wait!

The BEST deep dish pizza in all of LA. Make sure to plan ahead if you're hungry! The deep dish will take 45 minutes once it's ordered, which means this place can be BACKED UP on Friday and Saturday nights, but it is 100% worth going. Small, intimate space, near lots of hidden underground clubs.

TWO RULES: Go with a group and order a "PARTY." And tell them it's someone's birthday. You will NOT regret it. Side note: Carousel is BYOB, so if you want wine, bring it with!

Parking is available by entering the garage on either S Grand or S Olive, depending on which way you're coming. The spot has a tendency to be very busy during the week, but it's got an awesome ready-to-eat section and, as always, the best produce.

Drinks & Nightlife

Beautiful rooftop bar hidden in downtown LA. Look closely for the golden bird in the elevator when you arrive. There is little signage here, so getting to the rooftop can sometimes feel like you're trying to sneak into a private club.

One of the most iconic hotels in downtown LA, with a massive amount of history! For those historians, this was where the last sighting of the "Black Dahlia" happened, and the hallway by the elevators has been seen in TV shows and movies for decades. Just set back from the lobby is a beautiful bar, with excellent cocktails. It's a great place to stop in for a drink!

Griffith is MASSIVE! Enter the park through it's Eastern side and explore the less populated area. Check out the old abandoned zoo (you may even still be able to squeeze through the chain link at the lion cages, there's some very colorful graffiti inside, BUT ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!).

Arts & Culture

You'll need to plan ahead for guaranteed tickets, but they will also allow you to wait in the stand-by line day-of. There are always amazing exhibits, the building itself is a true work of art!

Sightseeing

It's so easy to get to Hollywood. Take Western Ave. North all, turn left on Hollywood Blvd, and voila! you're there! Make sure to check out the Jimmy Kimmel show across from the Kodak theater, home to the Academy Awards, and Ripley's Believe it or Not on the corner of Hollywood and Highland.
