Food Scene

This place looks almost off-putting from outside - but I promise you... their sandwiches are THE BEST in town. They have free wifi, and amazing home-made food/deserts. Easy walk from the apt.

This one is almost a secret around here... There's no sign & its easy to miss, but trust me, its truly the best pho i've ever had in my life. Tip: It's cash only, but so worth it.

Arts & Culture

Great club that offers different vibes each night (latin/club/hiphop/indie)! BUT the reason I love it: They host The Moth! A hilarious storytelling event. Go to clublosglobos(dot)com for the calendar!

Everything Else

This is the ultimate natural juice/smoothie spot! Stand in line amongst the hottest and fittest of the hipsters, to order a drink that'll give you that LA glow. (Ok... no guarantees on that last bit.)

Ladies, listen - It's hard to find a good nail spot in LA because there are too many. This is the spot. I've been a regular for years. For brow wax - ask for Anna. I'll refuse to go anywhere else.

The Silver Lake Reservoir is a town favorite. Its great for walking/jogging - safe, paved, nice views - and theres a pretty incredible dog park there as well!

Fred 62 is an awesome diner that is open 24/7! Great for the after-bar grub, but my favorite days start with a long brunch + mimosa(s) on a lazy sunday... mmm.

Drinks & Nightlife

I almost didn't add this one... because I love it so much. Its cheap, theres pool tables, good DJs.. Best part: The people are actually normal, and they DANCE. Rad, local, dive bar vibes.
