Things To Do

LA is a huge place with lots to do, we have chosen a few of our favorite places to share with you too! For Amusement Park Seekers: Disneyland, California Adventures (highly recommend the hopper pass), Universal Studios Hollywood (including the backlot tour) and Knotts Berry Farm (a few of our favorites) For Studio Tours: What is more LA than visiting a studio where films and tv shows are made! WB Studio Tours was something we really enjoyed (Gilmore Girls anyone?) For a few of our favorite food places in the area and a few local places we love to hang out and walk, see below! We are so excited to have you join us and explore the Eastern suburbs of Los Angeles where Koko grew up!
Griffith Observatory

Griffith Observatory

2800 E Observatory Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90027, Los Angeles, CA 90027

This is where we got engaged! The museum entrance is free and looking at the sites is pretty incredible (on a clear day) You can either park at the bottom and take the relatively easy hike up (45 min to an hour) or drive all the way up and park up top. Parking is limited at the top, but there is parking along the road on the way up. Also, a great view of the Hollywood sign!

Lucky Boy

640 S Arroyo Pkwy, Pasadena, CA 91105

This is one of our favorite breakfast places. The breakfast burritos are huge and delicious! Eggs, Potatoes, Bacon, Cheese? You can't go wrong! Ask for extra salsa! Chris thinks he is one Lucky Boy :)

torotea

2322 Huntington Dr, San Marino, CA 91108

Our favorite boba place! Known for their unique take on tapiochi, a hybrid between boba and tapioca, this is the best place in the SGV (San Gabriel Valley). We highly recommend the Butter Popcorn flavored tea!

Jameson Brown Coffee Roasters

260 Allen Ave, Pasadena, CA 91107

One of our favorite coffee shops! The Lavender Vanilla Breve is the absolute best!

Din Tai Fung

400 South Baldwin Avenue, Arcadia, CA 91007

WE LOVE SOUP DUMPLINGS!!! Koko is half Taiwanese so this place takes her back to her roots! :) This is a MUST eat, especially if you are staying at LeMeridien because it is across the street!

Summer Rolls

5728 Rosemead Boulevard, Temple City, CA 91780

Koko's mom is from Vietnam, so Vietnamese dishes were a large part of her childhood! These are some of the best Spring rolls ever! The Nem Nuong (or charbroiled pork sausage) spring roll is one of the best, as well as the Banh Xeo (Vietnamese omelette)

Porto's Bakery and Cafe

315 North Brand Boulevard, Glendale, CA 91203

Grab a few Cuban Pastries or a Cubano sandwich then go for a walk at the Glendale Galleria! Chris loves the cheese rolls, potato balls and the strawberry matcha latte Koko loves the cheese rolls, Parisian chocolate cake and doesn't think anyone should sleep on the Orange Juice!

Pasadena City Hall

100 Garfield Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91101

Any Parks and Rec fans? This City Hall might look familiar ;) A beautiful location we love to take photos at!

The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens

1151 Oxford Road, San Marino, CA 91108

One of our first dates in LA, visiting the Huntington Library is a great place for exploring a beautiful botanical garden and some rich history, home of the original Canterbury Tales! This is a must see if you have a half day you want to fill!

Rose Bowl Stadium

1001 Rose Bowl Drive, Pasadena, CA 91103

Whenever we visit LA, and feel extra motivated, we try to walk the 3 mile loop! So incredibly beautiful and one of our favorite spots!
