The view from my window of the concert hall and downtown LA is a great experience as an outside perspective of the city life at night.

Tiny Japanese bakery specializing in choux creme.

Buche and cabeza the best.

Right by my apartment, I can't help but come here often. It's situated right around the historic La Brea Tar Pits. One needs to spend an entire day here. Also love their magazine/book store.

Authentic southern Italian thin-crust pizzas. My favorite is the scrumptious Santo Stefano.
