Nick's Tips

Griffith Observatory

Easy hike up for some of the best views of the city. Park by the Greek Theater for the simple walk up. Don't drive up to the parking lot and get stuck in traffic!

Barnsdall Art Park

Los Angeles County Museum of Art

Great patio and bar at a museum, who knew! Worth getting look at a classic LA museum before they tear it down and renovate it.

The Grove

A little outdoor shopping, a farmer's market, a few bars, a movie theater. This place has everything.

The Last Bookstore

Built inside of an old bank, one of my favorite bookstores.

Universal Studios Hollywood

To be honest, this is more of a "Danielle's Tip". The last time I was here, "Backdraft" was the new popular ride.

Grand Central Market

Coffee at G&B, the Fast Burger at Belcampo and much more... one of my favorite places in LA.

HMS Bounty

Off the lobby of the Gaylord Apartment building... my brother lived here for 5 years and we spent many a night at the Bounty

The Normandie Club

Great place for a cocktail attached to Hotel Normandie

Clifton's Cafeteria

One of the coolest rooms you'll ever see... pass on the food, go for a drink and the scenery.

Upstairs Bar at the Ace Hotel

Go up to the roof and get yourself a beverage

Everson Royce Bar

The Varnish

Best cocktails in the city not made by my brother. Hidden in the back of Cole's right on 6th Street.

Dresden

First date. First kiss. Marty and Elayne will be waiting for you.

The Red Lion Tavern

The bar that I spent the most time at with friends. My home away from home.

Bar Bandini

One of the best wine bars around. You can get food from Cosa Buona delivered!

Cassell's Hamburgers

Ham Ji Park

Get the pork ribs

Bar Clacson

Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong

Usually a long wait but great for big groups and a lot of fun

Sun Ha Jang Restaurant

All things BBQ duck... if you're a little more adventurous, you'll go here!

Cosa Buona

Pizza. Meatballs. Wings. Do it.

Dinosaur Coffee

Langer's

Best pastrami in America. Best deli in America.

Tam O'Shanter

Leo's Taco Truck
