The hippest brunch spot in this part of town. There's always a line on weekends. FYI: No reservations for brunch (they do take them for other meals) so make sure you prepare for a wait.

This is the good Chinese Restaurant in the neighborhood. A little bit upscale so doesn't have 100% of the staples, but good. Not to be confused w the similarly named one further north on Hillhurst.

Arts & Culture
Free planetarium. Great for families. Tremendous view of the whole city. Iconic location from Rebel Without a Cause. Parking up there is crazy (and paid), so the best option is to catch the bus from Hillhurst that will take you straight there. Also a great place to start hikes.
