Things To Do in LA
The Green Man Store
Nowhere in Los Angeles has been a bigger part of our story than The Green Man Store. It's where we met, where we fell in love, and where we still spend a lot of our time. If you get a chance, swing by to check out the beautiful artwork, the one of a kind collection of metaphysical supplies, and the in house apothecary. If you're looking for something specific, the staff is very knowledgeable, but we're also happy to make recommendations. You might even be able to get a reading! (Though we recommend booking that online ahead of time.)
Porto's Bakery and Cafe
LA's favorite Cuban bakery. The lines are long but the potato balls are worth it.
Magnolia Park
Magnolia Blvd between Kenwood St and Buena Vista St is lined with fun shops and restaurants! (Think Carytown in Richmond or Broughton Street in Savannah.) Outside of The Green Man Store and Porto's, some of our favorites include: Romancing the Bean (an independent coffee shop) Audrey *K (most of Ellie's favorite pieces of clothing came from here) It's a Wrap (a thrift store selling studio wardrobes from actual films and shows) Vulture Culture Oddities ("a haven for all things strange, macabre and odd". Michael got Ellie a peacock tapestry from here for Valentine's Day)
Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood
If you need one classic touristy "Hollywood" thing, this is the closest to the hotel. And it's the best studio tour you can get without paying theme park admission prices.
The Obscure
One outlier just to make the map weird....this distillery and cocktail tasting experience (with in-house cajun bites) is worth the trek downtown. We first went for our six month anniversary and it's still one of our favorite date nights. And excellent blend of (strong) spirits and storytelling.
