This could also be in the Neighborhood section as it's just a few miles away in Eagle Rock, but it's so good we had to mention it. Tiny little house tucked away on Colorado Blvd with cozy outdoor seating and some of the best comfort food in L.A.

Arts & Culture

On the corner of 50th and York, just across from the park and next to the Korean church is MorYork. There's no signs and you can only get in if the front door is open, but if it is, go! It's the home of artist Claire Graham and one of the most amazingly bizarre collection of found/assemblage art in the country.

Wanna go clothes (shoes, makeup, toys, bags, suits, etc.) shopping in an open air, European/South American market style atmosphere? Check out the spectacle that is Santee Alley!

Entertainment & Activities

Check out the retro steam punk inspired Highland Park Bowl over on Fig. It's hard to describe just how cool this spot is even if bowling isn't your thing. Just a heads up though, you do pay a premium for the experience. This ain't your dads bowling alley.

Parks & Nature

Head to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory on 2N. Right behind it is a small service road to the right that leads to some great hiking trails. If you're lucky, maybe you get a tour of JPL where they build and test Mars Rovers and future space travel.
