Taqueria Zavala #3

Our go to Mexican food spot.

Cobi's

Insanely delicious. High quality food at a reasonable restaurant price.

Wilshire/La Brea Subway Station

CJ worked on this newly opened subway station. He worked on many things, but most visibly are the site lighting, the mezzanine lighting, and the map cases.

Andre's

Delicious Italian food. CJ ate many lunches here while working on the D Line extension.

Petersen Automotive Museum

Great connection to the Metro D Line

Academy Museum of Motion Pictures

Great connection to the Metro D Line.

Griffith Observatory

You can take the B Line to an LA DASH shuttle if you want to avoid parking. Parking here can be hard.

The Getty

Fabulous Art. Admission is free but parking is not.

Santa Monica Pier

Great connection to the Metro E Line if you want to skip driving. Driving around the ocean is pretty cool though.

Treasure Island Beach

Parking here is hard, and the water might be cold in November, but this beach is beautiful.

Los Angeles Union Station

LA Union Station has a beautiful blend of Spanish Colonial, Mission Revival and Art Deco architecture.

Olvera Street

Come here if you want to see a Mexican market and where LA began.

Original Tommy's

Come here to try a solid chiliburger. This is the original location and is 24/7. Featured in Grandma's Boy.

McDonald's

This is the oldest operating McDonald's. It features a museum, and is the only location in the contiguous United States that deep fries the apple pies.

Papá Churros

Delicious churros and tres leches cakes.

The Queen Mary

Both of us had ghostly experiences here. We got touched, and Liz saw a little girl in the parking lot disappear! I suggest the Haunted Encounters tour, or if you can, do the Paranormal Ship Walk or the Graveyard Tour.

Aquarium of the Pacific

Kouraku Japanese Ramen & Grill

Delicious spot to check out if you are in Little Tokyo. Good connection to the A and E Lines.

Pizza Twist

Butter Chicken Deep Dish Pizza

Sorry Not Sorry Creamery

VERY good ice cream. We recommend the Lavender Honey ice cream. It's our favorite.

Jollibee

Filipinos have figured out fantastic fast food fried chicken. I'd say it's the best one.

The 4th Horseman

Good pizza and bar with a horror theme. Garlic knots are to die for. Get it? Great connection to the Metro A Line.

Long Beach Beer Lab - Wrigley

Tasty beer and pizza

Lawless Brewing Co.

Tastey beer. I recommend their sours or their stout. Decent connection to the B Line.

Universal CityWalk Hollywood

Universal City walk is free to explore the food and shops. The actual theme park requires a ticket. It has plenty of parking and has a shuttle to connect to the B Line.

Angels Flight Railway

A fun vertical like train that is quite old. It can connect you to the Grand Central Market.

Grand Central Market

Lots of food and items to shop. Good connections to the B and D Line.
