Fan Faves
La La Land Kind Cafe (Coffee)
Great coffee, lovely atmosphere, and close to the venue!
Super Domestic (Coffee)
Our personal favorite coffee shop in Los Angeles. It's a little out of the way but if you like a spicy Chai, this is the best of them!
Blueys Mar Vista (Brunch)
A brunch favorite! The chilaquiles are Elena approved.
MOOD. (Brunch)
Although we haven't been here (yet) ourselves, it has excellent reviews and is close to our venue :)
Highly Likely (Brunch)
This is our go-to spot for brunch near(ish) our place. Always hits, and there's another location in Highland Park if that's closer to you.
The Bagel Factory (Breakfast)
LA's best bagel - yes, we said it!
Robata Jinya (Dinner)
We went here on our first date and, needless to say, the rest was history! No joke, we've been here many times throughout the years because the food is THAT GOOD. If you like sushi, this is a must-try.
Crossroads Kitchen (Vegan)
We're regulars at this incredible vegan restaurant owned by Travis Barker.
Pura Vita (Vegan)
One of LA's best vegan Italian restaurants, and where we went for Mychael's 36th Birthday.
Versailles (Cuban)
Best Cuban Food in LA and a staple in Elena's family.
Laurel Hardware (Dinner)
Excellent restaurant in West Hollywood where we celebrated Elena's 37th Birthday.
Checker Hall (Dinner)
One of the better Mediterranean restaurants in Los Angeles!
Jon & Vinny's Fairfax (Pizza)
Great spot for pizza, pasta and wine.
Hippo (Dinner)
You can't go wrong, everything here is delicious!
Leo's Tacos Truck (Lunch or Dinner)
The best Al Pastor tacos in LA!!
Don Antonio's (Dinner)
A regular rotation Mexican dinner for us & where our parents met for the first time. Pro-tip: get the Chicken Tortilla Soup :)
TomTom (Drinks)
If you're a fan of reality TV like Elena is, you'll love to visit TomTom and take a photo in front of the infamous kissing portrait.
SUR Restaurant and Lounge (Drinks)
Another reality TV iconic location from RHOBH and Vanderpump Rules
The Grove (Shopping)
One of LA's best outdoor shopping malls with an excellent food court.
The Griffith Observatory (Activity)
If you have the time, don't miss the observatory to catch incredible views of the city.
Runyon Canyon Road Hiking (Activity)
Largo at the Coronet (Activity)
If you're sticking around LA for a few days, this little theater has some big and small-named comedians come through. Great choice for a fun and casual night.
Artplex Gallery (Art Gallery)
A great gallery to check out, closer to the venue. They own another gallery across the street called Artspace Warehouse, which features many more affordable pieces and emerging artists.
Thinkspace Gallery (Art Gallery)
Our favorite gallery in Los Angeles! This gallery holds a special place in our hearts, having bought several pieces from them over the years.
