An absolute MUST. Gourmet market cum uber scene-y LA lunchtime hot spot. Their tuna sandwich is out of this world and the baked goods are to die for. Gelato and specialty cheeses too!

I would recommend the Getty over LACMA but it's still worth checking out, especially the new buildings designed by Renzo Piano.

Drinks & Nightlife
Fun local bar with a good vibe and no drama. I can fill you in on the trendier spots, but remember, this is LA so the scene changes fast and the best nightclubs are quite exclusive.
