This place has some of the best views of LA. It's not too touristy and it has a few different beginner friendly trails. You can also drive all the way up the hill, park and just take in the view. If you're not into the hiking thing.

French meets Italian meets Argentinian food. It's a charming place to sit for an early dinner with friends or family and the food is to die for. (PS - it won't break the bank either)

If you like R&B/Soul, you have to try this family owned restaurant/bar in the heart of LA's Crenshaw district. It's located inside an unsuspecting strip mall but don't judge a book by it's cover. The vibes are always great, the drinks are always strong, the food is solid and the music is on point.

Cool Places To Visit
A new woman-owned cannabis dispensary. It's become a cool destination for tourists and locals. Prices aren't the lowest in town, but definitely worth the experience if you're into that sort of thing.

Lời khuyên du lịch trong thành phố
Cách đi lại
Walking is the fastest way to get to The Forum/ SoFi Stadium
If you're visiting for a sports event or concert, I highly recommend walking to avoid the traffic. Fortunately, you are super close to both venues. If you're here to enjoy ALL that LA has to offer then I highly suggest a car/uber.
Những gì cần đóng gói
Carry a light jacket at night
Don't let the sunshine fool you, the west LA can get nippy at night. Especially since we are only 15 minutes from the water.

LA street tacos will never disappoint you.
Depending on where you're from, eating street food might seem bizarre. But in the city of glitz and glam, some of our best Mexican food is on the streets of LA. Some of the best tacos you'll ever try are either street stands or food trucks and the prices can't be rivaled. $1.50 - $2 per taco for steak, chicken and pork. You won't regret it!
