The good people of Beverly Hills have amazing taste in the arts. Go there and see something incredibly classy in a gorgeous building. It used to be the old post office - they renovated it and turned it into an equally gorgeous and modernized theater. You will not be disappointed. They have music concerts, theater, lectures, dance - something really interesting will be playing!! Just go!

It’s less than a 2 mile walk to Beverly Hills, and after you grab a cupcake at Sprinkles, you’ll have plenty of energy to continue exploring this golden nugget of a city that sits within the boundaries of Los Angeles.

This is a great museum for people who don’t love to go to museums. You can enjoy an afternoon (and sometimes an evening) on this gorgeous hillside, take in the views on the tramway from the parking lot, stroll in the amazing garden, sit on the grass, enjoy a great meal - and never even step foot in one of the galleries. Enjoying the incredible, very eclectic collections is also recommended... if you’re into it!
