Great cook-it-yourself Korean BBQ!
A cute strip of restaurants and boutiques! Check out Paradis for some great Danish gelato!

This is one of my favorite beaches! It's super cute and has tons of cute little shops nearby!
I love this beach as well--it's a bit more of a drive, but totally worth it!
If you're looking for the classic LA tourist experience, you can't miss the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
Another classic Hollywood tourist site!
You might recognize this site from La La Land--it's definitely made it a bit more crowded--but the view from here is amazing and there's some great interactive learning stations! Going here at sunset is great, and it's also the starting point for the hikes up to the famous Hollywood sign!
This is one of my favorite little cafe's down in Montrose--and the rolls there are so good! Eating there is just a quintessential La Crescenta experience. :)
