Things To Do
Griffith Observatory
A location from the film, La La Land. It is a beautiful hike up to the observatory. We recommend hiking up an hour before sunset and then after watching the sunset, watching one of the dome shows. There are great views from the top looking down on the city and a wonderful view of the Hollywood sign. One of the best places in the city to catch the sunset!
Venice Canal Historic District
Beautiful neighborhood, a beautiful walk and near the beach!
Los Angeles Horseback Riding
Beautiful horseback riding up in the mountains! Highly recommend.
Academy Museum of Motion Pictures
See costumes and props from Oscar winning movies and fan favorites!
Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre
Great cheap comedy shows! Clare has taken a few improv classes here! There is often a celebrity guest at the Asssscat & Harold Night shows.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood
See the sets of FRIENDS, Gilmore Girls, Pretty Little Liars, and costumes & props from Harry Potter, Batman, and more! They will also bring you onto the sound stage of a current TV show!
Universal Studios Hollywood
Rides, shows, an hour-long studio tour. Super Nintendo World is a recent addition. Great for the whole family!

A cute bookstore and cafe in our neighborhood.
The Ripped Bodice
Adorable romance bookstore in our neighborhood.
The Museum of Jurassic Technology

Hermosa Beach
Where Adriel & Clare got engaged! The pier is beautiful at golden hour and was a location in the film La La Land! The Lighthouse Cafe which is right down the street, has great food, live music, and was also a location in the film, La La Land. If you happen to be renting a car, this is a beautiful beach town to visit, about 45 mins south of LA. We also recommend Stars Antique Market and the Gum Tree Cafe while you are here.
The Grove
Famous shopping mall & farmer's market! Clare & Adriel have spotted a handful of celebrities here, so keep your eyes peeled!
El Cholo - The Original
One of Adriel's favorite restaurants, amazing Mexican food!
Cafe Gratitude
One of Clare's favorite restaurants. Everything here is vegan and so delicious! They have the best vegan pizzas!
WAKE AND LATE
The BEST breakfast burritos in all of LA! And they have great bagels too. We've been to their Downtown LA location.
Versailles Cuban Food
Great Cuban restaurant in our neighborhood!
Manuela
Really nice restaurant in the downtown arts district. They have mouth-watering biscuits here and beautiful outdoor seating.
In-N-Out Burger
A classic LA fast food joint, located all around town :)
Erewhon
An iconic LA local health grocery store chain, known for their pricey but delicious protein smoothies. Clare loves the Coconut Cloud smoothie & the Strawberry Glaze smoothie.
