Because how can you come to LA and not order an In-n-Out burger? Animal style with chili peppers!

I am not a vegetarian, nor do I seek out vegetarian restaurants, but this restaurant was so delicious I had a hard time believing I was eating only veggies. Their jackfruit kebab is stellar, as well as their labne plate and radicchio salad. You will not be disappointed with the flavor bomb of a restaurant.

Super cute, delicious and affordable Italian restaurant. Once you step through their doors, you are in a cozy garden that transports you somewhere other than LA. The food is great and not expensive. Definitely worth a visit to this cute neighborhood restaurant.

You'll need a reservation, but the food is worth it. Always perfectly seasoned, this space was once Charlie Chaplin's studio, and now it's a packed restaurant. Morning pastries and coffee are excellent, but I love the dinner with the oyster bar and charcuterie platters.

Corny and totally enjoyable ambiance with live music. Their chips and salsa are great and the food is cheesy and gooey. It's dark and atmospheric and fun.

Beautiful early 20th century home that paints a picture for what LA looked like while there were still fields and open space in LA.

Disney owned movie theater. Live music pre show or dancing Disney characters before animated film. There's usually a display downstairs near the restrooms. Very fun theater.
