Breakfast & Brunch

Mind-blowing Momma's French Toast and bacon on the level of pork belly.
Went on Good Friday and only had a limited wait of 15 minutes. There's a reason there's a line though - food this good wants to be eaten. Our server was fantastic. If you…More »

Chose Whist for brunch to entertain a visitor from NYC who I wanted to impress with Los Angeles style on a day when Santa Monica was socked in with fog and no views of the ocean were available. Whist's al fresco tables and stylish exterior design…More »
8. Jones Hollywood
West Hollywood, CA 90046
(323) 850-1726
For a transplant like me, Jones is quintessential L.A. Boobs, the business, not really sure if the patrons are making it in the business or not, dark booths, lots of stand-up conversations, energy, tables yielding privacy for dicussions of upcoming…More »

10. Los Liones Canyon
Los Angeles, CA 90272
Category:
Hiking
Neighbourhood: Pacific Palisades
Los Liones Trail is now my favorite hike to show off Los Angeles to guests. It's the best hike I've found for panoramic views of the city and ocean. It rewards you at each switchback and keeps you motivated to ascend the next hundred feet. You can…More »
11. Al & Bea's Mexican Food
When I first moved to Los Angeles, I heard Jonathan Gold rhapsodize about the Angeleno burrito - a simple bean and cheese burrito. This style of burrito is a lot less prevalent in Los Angeles then that radio broadcast would have me believe.
