Guidebook for Los Angeles
Food Scene
The coffee can be pricey, but it's kind of fun to get a fancy latte every now and again. I love the cinnamon soy latte. The food could be better, but luckily there are delicious options right next door at Home.

Green Leaves is 100% vegan, pan Asian food. The atmosphere is so lame that it's good. And the food is delicious. My favorites are the "chicken" nuggets, Tossed Salad, and the Yellow Curry with Soy Beef. They also deliver. I think I'll order some right now.

This is my favorite movie theatre to experience a movie. Not for the quality of the screen or the sound, but for the magical retro feel of the place. It's an old theatre and it's gigantic. The rows are miles apart so you'll never feel cramped. And it's cheap!

Aside from it being a functioning observatory it's also beautiful, has a museum, has appeared in many iconic films, and has some of the best views of LA. AND it's in the middle of Griffith Park where you'll find tons of great hiking trails. Go at Sunset and you'll even hear coyotes howling.
