One of my favorite special occasion dinner places. Always low dim lighting and a calm vibe. Piano in the background and lighting make you travel back in time. An LA classic. 

Old Bat cave and filming location in grifith park in los angeles. there is a nice hike to get to the cave, and it is a unique history to the place imbued with Hollywood remnants.

Crispy rice salad with the works forever.

The best Old-fashioned cocktails ever! Hands down. These mixologists know what they're doing. This place is also famous for their french-dipped sandwiches. And oh yes, not to forget about the pickled eggs.

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