Idk about underrated bc i feel like everyone knows la but some of my favorite things are larchmont village (grew up going here. super walkable, rip the blockbuster), tamales liliana’s (good/predictable mexican food; mostly just convenient/reliable spot to get tamales), ballona creek bike path (can rent city bikes at the beach and ride through from culver city to redondo), the getty museum is goated, and the central american food scene is tight in mid city too (mostly speaking in terms of the guatamalan dishes bc thats where i grew up going, gonna gate keep the name of my favorite breakfast spot bc it gets packed as is but hint: it’s on washington and western)

🌴Stories - the cutest bookstore with a cafe in the back
Canyon Coffee - you will see the hottest people ever walk in and out of that place plus their toasts are delicious & then go next door to cookbook for a delicious sandwich
Echo Park Lake - i love walking the perimeter (about 1 mile) and seeing all the baby geese The Douglas - best bar!! The outside patio is so fun & they do play the best music Carroll Street - walk through and you will see the most beautiful victorian houses Offe Market - my favorite clothing store in all of LA. They sell tons of overstock from smaller brands like baggu and lisa says gah!
ok i have many many more recs for this old beloved neighborhood of mine so just let me know if you want more <3

📽On letterboxd. Like how do you rate the Virgin Suicides or Killer of the Flower Moon?! So heavy and devastating!
Fully sticking to just saying whether i like a movie or not going forward!

🙈coworker who followed me on letterboxd on my second day working there, who i rarely see, complimented my reviews this week and i got giddy as hell. She had me stuttering and i havent come down from that high, she’s so cool too
