The Magic Castle is a nightclub for magicians and magic enthusiasts, as well as the clubhouse for the Academy of Magical Arts. It bills itself as "the most unusual private club in the world." A typical evening features several close up magic and stage illusions. Formal dress is strictly enforced and you must either be a member or be invited by a magician. The lobby of the Castle has no visible doors to the interior, and visitors must say a secret phrase to a sculpture of an owl to gain access, exposing the entrance to the club. What I enjoy most is walking through the corridors and staring at the posters and photographs of the history of magic.

Waves of the pacific ocean crashing underneath at your feet, while roller coaster rattles above.

Nice park for walking around or picnicking.

The best ramen I had in LA, maybe anywhere. Even my food-critical son loved it.

Aussie cappuccinos, iced vovo shakes, fairy bread... this is so bloody Australian and so bloody gewd.
