It's a cemetery, but the view from up here is stunning and you can see one of the most large scale epic paintings ever made by a human: The Crucifixion painting, by Polish artist Jan Styka. It's a must see. 

The Day of Death is one of the most amazing experience you can get from a city like LA. Every year, during the week-end of Halloween, the Hollywood Cemetery becames the stage of the most candid and beautiful celebration of life and death I ever seen.

Vintage store off the beaten path, with good prices and cool decorations. Have found many good things here!

Favorite bookstore. There's an art book + comics section and a chapter books section.

Small book store with really hard to find photography and art books. Love their collection of stuff as well as presentation.
