This is where I take anyone in town visiting. Get the catfish tamale.
No frills, cozy simple home-style filipino food.
I lived in K-town for years and picked up a few things. This spot is truly our favorite KBBQ spot (and your favorite KPOP artists, too)
Worth the wait. Simple, fresh and cheap menu for Taiwanese breakfast (and now dinner too). Get the spicy wontons.
Healthy Australian food for breakfast, lunch & dinner. If you're there for breakfast we highly suggest the banana bread. You might see a celebrity.
Again, worth the wait. Breakfast all day <3 Great for people watching and a rare celebrity sighting. The breakfast burrito with longaniza is *chefs kiss*
Our favorite street to walk around. Great shopping, great food.
If you make it over to the West Side, don't miss out on this spot. A tried and true, super yummy Australian food. Get some brunch, jump in the car and it's a quick drive to Abbot Kinney.
Our favorite bar on the West Side. If it's good weather the patio is the place to be. Great band on Saturday afternoons and a great happy hour. Perfect place to people (and dog) watch.
If you find yourself in Silverlake, especially on a Saturday, we love this spot. Great Taiwanese food. Get some food and walk down Sunset Blvd for some great shopping.
Historic Mexican spot in Studio City. Vibes are immaculate (Tarantino thinks so too)
An LA staple actually worth the hype. (Also our first date spot <3)
One of our new favorite brunch spots. If you like fancy coffee and matcha, go here. Right down Melrose, get some food and shop around. Plus side, almost never a wait!
Our favorite neighborhood spot. Good food, good vibes, great patio.
Worth the drive. Free, but you have to pay for parking!
Popular chain worth the hype. They're all over LA now. If you like Tex-Mex you'll love this spot.
Happy Hour is awesome, gorgeous interior. Right at the end of Figueroa Street in Highland Park, start your night here and wander around for great bar hopping.
Best use of our California residency.
One of our favorite pasta spots in the city. Do yourself a favor and get the carajillo (shaken) and coconut stracciatella gelato for dessert.
Get the beef tongue sandwich
If you're up to a walk in nature, this is a great hiking route.
A wonderfully curated vintage collection of clothes. Feels like Carrie Bradshaw's closet.
Family owned, old school Brentwood staple.
