Cami quickly created this list of Los Angeles landmarks when a friend asked her "what should I do in LA?" Ever since then it's been an obsession of hers to upate and add to it whenever she can. She knows you won't be able to see all of these awesome places while you're here, but visiting just a couple should give you a glimpse into the LA that Cami and Kevin know and love.
Griffith Observatory
2800 East Observatory Road, Los Angeles, CA 90027, (213) 473-0800
Enjoy a hike through the park and then take a look at the stars!
Los Angeles County Museum of Art
5905 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90036, (323) 857-6000
LACMA is your classic art museum with some awesome rotating exhibits thrown in. And the lamp post installation is a perfect photo op!
Griffith Park
4730 Crystal Springs Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90027
The quintessential LA hike up to the Observatory.
Little Tokyo
319 E 2nd St, Los Angeles, CA 90012
Some of the best ramen you'll ever have. Also a great starting point to explore the rest of Downtown!
Melrose Avenue
8565 Melrose Ave,, West Hollywood, CA 90069
The place where the hipsters shop. Eat lunch at Urth Cafe on Melrose to people watch (you’ll probably see a D-list celebrity) and then walk down Melrose and hit up the absolutely amazing thrift stores.
Zuma Beach
Malibu, CA 90265
We all know that Southern California has the best beaches in the U.S. Zuma is the best of the best. Take a scenic drive down PCH and then watch the surfers do their thing.
Koreatown
3465 West 6th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90020, (213) 365-8111
Korean bbq. Enough said.
Huntington Gardens
1151 Oxford Rd, San Marino, CA 91108
Museum and park in Pasadena with a Japanese garden, rain forest replica, and California cacti grove.
In-N-Out Burger
922 Gayley Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90024, (800) 786-1000
Cami will be personally offended if you don't try it at least once.
Guisados
2100 East Cesar E Chavez Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90033, (323) 264-7201
This is an authentic Mexican taco, and it is so good.
Koji Truck
1515 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291
A Korean street taco done right. Follow them on Twitter to find the truck's location. If they're hanging out on Abbott Kinney in Venice, then you can walk around and kill two birds with one stone.
The Grove
The Grove Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90036
A cute outdoor mall with a trolley car that takes you to the original LA Farmer's Market.
3rd Street Promenade
3rd Street Promenade, Santa Monica, CA 90401
A pedestrian-only shopping area near Santa Monica beach. All of the LA street performers come here, so you're sure to see something interesting.
Troubadour
9081 North Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA 90069
Take in a show at the iconic The Troubadour on Sunset Strip. These days it mostly houses local underground artists, but back in the day it hosted music legends like Carole King, Guns N' Roses, and our personal favorite: Paramore.
Venice Beach Boardwalk
Los Angeles, CA 90291
Come explore where the LA Beatniks used to live. Also the birth of LA's legal weed scene. Usually some cool street performers and skate competitions happening.
