Food Scene

One of the oldest Italian delis in LA, this place is often frequented by local police and firemen. Any of their sandwiches are delicious, but I'm partial to the eggplant parm.

Let's talk about tacos: this town has a bazillion places, and I have to put the mighty taco truck above any brick-and-mortar, but this place has a great selection for a slightly higher price than what you find on the street. Beware the super spicy taco!

Entertainment & Activities

This place has it all! Great food (asian fusion), excellent drinks (extensive craft beer selection), and retro pinball/arcade games. If you grew up in the 90's, you've got money to spend on nostalgia and alcohol, this is your jam. Kid-friendly as well. Closed Mondays.

Sightseeing

It's a tiny bit of an uphill hike, but well-worth it. At the top you are rewarded with a view of the downtown skyline to the south, dodger stadium to the north, and (if you're lucky) a few local roaming peacocks! Best to go around sunset.

My favorite running spot, the loop around the lake is about a mile and rewards you with views of downtown, blooming lotus plants on the water, paddle boats, ducks, and the occasional street vendor. If you see a guy with a shopping cart converted into a BBQ corn roaster, order some! Bring cash!
