This was pretty fun. And mostly outside!
I mean, c'mon, animals? Fun!
Nothing's more LA than taking a hike in the blazing sun! The Observatory offers a planetarium, exhibits, public telescopes, cafe, bookstore, and the best views of the Los Angeles basin. And Admission is FREE!
A 207-acre complex not far from the hotels. The library and art gallery contain rare books and one of the most complete collections of 18th-century art outside of London, if you're into that sorta thing!
The last living UCB Theater in existence! Catch it before private equity destroys it!
Getcherself a giant donut in the Simpsons Land! Get soaked on the stupid Jurassic Park ride! Don't ride The Mummy ride; it's terrifying!
One of our favorite restaurants. Mediterranean small plates (Uh, they do things a lil' differently here) in East Hollywood -- and you can grab ice cream at McConnell's right down the street afterwards!
Simple Italian food in Silverlake. You can't go wrong with the pasta and plates.
Small plates, a bit of a scene! You WILL probably hear a bachelorette party yelling if you go after 8pm on Friday!
Mediterranean restaurant and wine bar. GREAT hummus. One of Andy's favorite spots!
Really great vegan Mexican food. The guac was tight. And, yes, say it with me: OUTDOOR SEATING!
They've got great cocktails and a tasty but limited menu.
Enjoy delicious Spanish food in the heart of Highland Park!
French food in Los Feliz. Ooh baby, the cheese plate here? What more could you ask for? Small indoor space and street seating.
Great for dinner and drinks, very picturesque setting in the heart of Hollywood (which does make parking a pain, not gonna lie)! Also, one bossy waiter who has a ponytail -- try to avoid him.
Classic LA Mexican food, very casual, easy to grab a table.
