We love it here, it is Taiwanese food with really modern and recipes. There are light options in comparison with other classic Chinese restaurants. You will see a large line, but you always find seat. The Beef Roll and the Dan Dan Noodles are amazing.

Is pronounced “mah zeh” and loosely translates to “what is it” in Hebrew. From a menu written on brown paper bags to their BYOB (bring your own booze) policy, and its incredible Israeli food, this is one of the hottest restaurants in the area. Some items on their menu they are one of the best thing we’ve ever tried. We completely recommend to wait in the line to sit here!

We love Thai Food, and for far this one is one of our favourites. We tried some dishes that you won’t find anywhere else. Don’t come here for a fancy romantic dinner, but come if you wanna have some fun at night and eat something different. Their lunch fried chicken sandwich it’s amazing. Be careful with some spicy plates!

Parks & Nature
The Griffith Observatory, located in the Griffith Park, it's an amazing place with a lot of things to do around. There are different levels of hiking trails, stunning panoramic views of the whole city and also the Observatory which is a really nice and interesting science museum.
You can try to park on the top of the hill but it could get busy some times, and also it's $8 dollars per hour if you can find a spot. But you can park down the hill in a free lot and then it's only a 10/15 minutes easy hike, you can do it with kids and also adults that can handle this kind of outdoor walks.
