🍸 Musso and Frank’s
And the rest in no particular order of importance or geography:
The Formosa in West Hollywood
Skylight/Figaro combo in Los Feliz
The Prince in Koreatown
The In-N-Out by LAX
Pampas Grill at Farmers Market
Joan’s on Third
Greystone Mansion
Hollyhock House
Driving PCH early morning
Any beach in the early morning
Getting out there and taking your turn at unprotected lefts after the light turns red (in general, people are okay with allowing two cars to do this)
A general recommendation is to be very generous in your estimation of how long it takes to get places and how hard it will be to find parking. Assume the worst, then double it.

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)

Here is a piece that I am livestreaming indefinitely on youtube. It’s footage from basically everywhere I’ve been in the past 3 years or so. All over America. YouTube is really a blessing; even if it was _just_ a storage platform for video it would be above and beyond anything else. I really recommend finding ways to make stuff for youtube.

TooGoodToGo is an app that connects you to local businesses to buy unsold food for cheap. It’s especially good in NYC.
