Things To Do
Griffith Park Observatory Trails Peak
The observatory is a wonderful free museum, you can hike up to it and around it to get some exercise views plus excellent views of LA and the Hollywood sign. You can also drive if hiking isn't your thing.
The Broad
Free art!
Highland Park
The neighborhood adjacent to ours, lots of thrift and vinyl shops on Figueroa and York Avenues.
Clifton's Republic
A unique spot to visit in downtown Los Angeles. The bottom floor is an old school cafeteria and each floor above features its own themes such as a forest, a gothic lounge, and a tiki bar. There are sometimes live performers themed for their area, and you might be able to join in for some swing dancing! We love this spot, though we haven't been back since it reopened (it closed during the pandemic), but we hear that the nearly century old heart of it is still beating strong!
Descanso Gardens
A peaceful spot to take a break and enjoy nature in the LA area.
