Kumquat coffee is great. They roast their own beans and it's right on York Boulevard.
Griffith Park is one of our favorite places for a quick hike. There are lots of trails to choose from and you can hike to the Hollywood sign if you are so inclined. The observatory is worth a visit. It's a cool Art Deco building, and you can look through the telescope at night.
Vidiots is a non-profit video rental store with a movie theater. They curate screenings that include cult classics, regular classics, and sometimes new releases that will become future classices. Check them out!
Grand Central Market is a great place to grab a bite. We love the pupusa stand. Afterwards, you can ride Angel's Flight Railway or swing by The Last Bookstore.
a modest restaurant serving authentic, spicy Thai food in East Hollywood.
Stroll along the LA River bike path while exploring various flea vendors. Starts at 11AM Saturday morning.
