This spot is one of my go-to lunch spots. It's kind of like a chipotle for mediterranean food. Stuff your pita with falafel, shwarma, or chicken, choose a rice, add toppings and sauces. They also have a dessert bar.

This bar/restaurant is a great date night spot. Mondays are trivia nights. Other nights have specialty music (like jazz nights). They have housemade poutine, vegan mac and cheese, stellar Brussel sprouts and sweet potato tater tots. Great cocktails (I recommend the "Ace"). A spot I love to visit before or after a movie at the Laemmle Cinema.

Perhaps my favorite trail of all during sunset. Great 360 views of both the valley and city of Los Angeles. Steep trail but worth the effort to see the "Wisdom Tree" at the top. If there are some clouds in the sky, it makes for the best sunset illuminating all of Los Angeles. Can also hike to the Hollywood sign from the top.
