Food Scene

There are so many DELICIOUS food options easily walkable from my condo! My advice is to put on your shoes, walk toward Riverside and pick whichever one looks best! Here are some of my favorites... (and some of my LA faves that aren't in my immediate vicinity)
Awesome little local, neighborhood coffee shop! With yummy egg salad sandwiches too. Totally walkable. Oh, and they filmed several scenes from Desperate Housewives here. ;-)

Who doesn't like a Starbucks right across the street? I walk over there almost every single morning. And never fear, if it's too busy there's also 1 in Von's (same shopping center) & another by Bob's.

My sister & I love this sushi restaurant. A little more casual than Yuzu, a bit cheaper than Kabosu. They have a great happy hour with discount sushi. :) It's 1.3 miles away, you determine walkability

Not in my immediate neighborhood, but one of my favorite places in all of LA! Get up to your elbows in the best, messiest seafood you've ever had. Must get "the whole shabang" sauce/seasoning. It is to die for. The main location is in Koreatown, but there are new locations popping up all over, including one if Downtown Burbank! :-D

This place is an absolute hidden gem!! A must-visit during your stay at my condo, in my opinion. They have GREAT breakfast and lunch food, a friendly staff, gelato, super yummy coffee drinks... and you can even get one of their signature "CelebriLattes" with a photo of your favorite celebrity in the foam of your drink! If you're here during a warm month you can sit outside on their patio. If it's chilly they have indoor seating, but it's a TINY space. Be ready to cozy up with your neighbor. Walkable.

There are several Lemonade locations all around LA, and I was THRILLED when they opened one up on Riverside, right near my place! It's cafeteria style, but with the most healthy, delicious options you could possibly imagine at a cafeteria! Walkable (about 10 mins walk)

BEST VIEWS OF HOLLYWOOD. This is one of my favorite spots in LA and it overlooks all of Hollywood! It's a traditional Japanese restaurant (and bar area) that overlooks the whole city. It's gorgeous and delicious. Their regular menu is a little pricy, but it's a special place. If you're wanting to experience the ambiance and the view without spending a lot of money, they have happy hour available in their bar area with food and drink specials!

The Getty is a great art museum perched atop Los Angeles, so it overlooks Hollywood, Santa Monica and the ocean. GORGEOUS VIEWS and architecture here. And it's FREE!! You just have to pay to park, then you ride this fun little tram up the hill to the museum. It's HUGE, beautiful, and has more than you could ever see in a day, so pick your favorite stuff. There are also cafes and restaurants up there (a little pricy), so you can slow down and grab a bite to eat or a drink.

Sightseeing

A must for the first-time visitor to LA. It's where they hold the Oscars every year! And it's pretty close to my place! The Hollywood Walk of Stars runs along out front, and the whole area is chock-full of Hollywood history. It's a bit touristy and bustling, but you gotta go if you've never been.
