Things To Do/Places To Eat

Folks, you know we hate Los Angeles. It's one giant, gentrified strip mall, and behind every corner lurks something that might hurt Mabel (broken glass, an errant edible, sago palm seeds). HOWEVER, even we must admit that there are some cool things to do here. Specifically outdoors things! Such as... hmmm...

La Brea Tar Pits and Museum

5801 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90036
, (213) 763-3499

This was pretty fun. And mostly outside!

LA Zoo

5333 Zoo Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90027

I mean, c'mon, animals? Fun!

Griffith Observatory

2800 East Observatory Road, Los Angeles, CA 90027
, (213) 473-0800

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!

The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens

1151 Oxford Road, San Marino, CA 91108
, (626) 405-2100

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!

Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre

5919 Franklin Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90028
, (323) 556-0225

The last living UCB Theater in existence! Catch it before private equity destroys it!

Universal Studios & City Walk

100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City, CA 91608
, (818) 622-9841

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!

Kismet

4648 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90027
, (323) 409-0404

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!

Blair's Restaurant

2901 Rowena Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90039
, (323) 660-1882

Simple Italian food in Silverlake. You can't go wrong with the pasta and plates.

Bacari Silverlake + Bar Bacari

3626 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90026
, (323) 410-7304

Small plates, a bit of a scene! You WILL probably hear a bachelorette party yelling if you go after 8pm on Friday!

Bowery Bungalow

4156 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90029
, (323) 663-1500

Mediterranean restaurant and wine bar. GREAT hummus. One of Andy's favorite spots!

De Buena Planta

2815 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90026
, (323) 426-9023

Really great vegan Mexican food. The guac was tight. And, yes, say it with me: OUTDOOR SEATING!

Hippo

5916 1/2 North Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90042
, (323) 545-3536

They've got great cocktails and a tasty but limited menu.

Otoño

5715 North Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90042

Enjoy delicious Spanish food in the heart of Highland Park!

Loupiotte Kitchen

1726 North Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90027
, (323) 445-2738

French food in Los Feliz. Ooh baby, the cheese plate here? What more could you ask for? Small indoor space and street seating.

Superba Food + Bread Hollywood

6530 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90028
, (323) 364-9844

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.

Casita Del Campo

1920 Hyperion Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90027
, (323) 662-4255

Classic LA Mexican food, very casual, easy to grab a table.
