Like that other famous city, Los Angeles is always a good idea. (After all, that line was<\/em> popularized by a legendary Hollywood production.) Planning a trip out west, however, can feel quite daunting; there are over 100 neighborhoods\u2014each with its own must-see lists\u2014within the city limits. Plus, the L.A. fantasy manifests differently from person to person. For some, it\u2019s the Beach Boys \u201cCalifornia Girls\u201d energy of Santa Monica; for others, the Beverly Hills lifestyle of Clueless<\/em>. Then there are those who view the city of Los Angeles as synonymous with fame\u2014\u00e0 la \u201cAll right, Mr. DeMille, I\u2019m ready for my close-up!\u201d<\/p>\n

Whichever<\/em> one you are\u2014we polled our staff for the very best of where to stay, eat, shop, and visit to get you in a La La Land state of mind. Here, find the Vogue<\/em> editors\u2019 guide to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Where to Stay<\/h2>\n
Hotel Bel-Air<\/div>\n

There\u2019s something effortlessly magical\u2014and Californian\u2014about the Hotel Bel-Air. It\u2019s tucked away in the hills\u2014far above the neon signs of Sunset Boulevard and the ritzy shops of Rodeo Drive\u2014and the outdoor entrance takes you by a serene lake where swans swim by. The guest rooms feel like bungalows and the outdoor restaurant is perfect for an Arnold Palmer or two. \u2014Elise Taylor, senior living writer<\/p>\n

The Beverly Hills Hotel<\/div>\n

The lore of the Beverly Hills Hotel is almost as splashy as the five-star accommodations themselves\u2014Fred Astaire regularly read the\u00a0Hollywood Reporter<\/em>\u00a0by the pool, while Gloria Swanson rented a bungalow during her divorce. Elizabeth Taylor, meanwhile, spent six of her honeymoons there. For those who want to experience the glamor of Los Angeles that feels right out of the movies, this is where you stay. \u2014Elise Taylor<\/p>\n

Chateau Marmont<\/div>\n

If The Beverly Hills Hotel is Los Angeles\u2019s most famous hotel, the Chateau Marmont is its most infamous, thanks to its many legendary scandals. (Let\u2019s just say a lot<\/em> has gone down within its Gothic-style halls.) To be fair, it\u2019s an environment designed to accommodate a hedonistic clientele\u2014the patio turns into a who\u2019s-who lounge by the evening, and there are no photos allowed. Book a room and indulge in L.A.\u2019s wild side. \u2014Elise Taylor<\/p>\n

Shutters On The Beach<\/div>\n
\n
\"Image<\/span><\/div>\n

When Shutters On The Beach opened its doors in 1993, it was the only hotel in L.A. with beach access. While that\u2019s no longer the case, it remains one of the most celebrity-laden places to stay in the area. (During my family\u2019s recent stay there, my young son was rescued from a momentarily stuck elevator by seemingly half of the Denver Nuggets, instantly minting him as a new NBA fan, though the hotel is perhaps more famous as the location for a million studio-sponsored celebrity interviews over decades.) Shutters also boasts an amazing art collection (Hockney, Lichtenstein, Motherwell, Diebenkorn, to name but a few of the artists in their arsenal), a lively social scene at its pool, and its location is a kind of perfection: anything in L.A. is within easy striking distance, yet it\u2019s also the perfect escape when you\u2019ve had too much of it all and need some quiet, reserved calm. Oh, yeah, that beach. \u2013Corey Seymour, senior editor<\/p>\n

The Surfrider<\/div>\n

The Surfrider delivers all that you could want from a Malibu stay: access to the beach (it\u2019s literally across the street!), a view (head to the roof to watch the sunset), and great food (its on-site restaurant sources ingredients from some of the best nearby farms). The rooms are done up in a beachy beige perfection with linen-upholstered seatings and rattan accents. Spend your days surfing and your nights on the hotel’s roof drinking a cocktail by the fire. You\u2019ll feel miles away from the buzz of L.A. \u2014Lilah Ramzi, contributing editor<\/p>\n

The West Hollywood Edition<\/div>\n

Perched right on Sunset Boulevard with its towering \u201cFor Your Consideration” billboards, the West Hollywood Edition is surrounded by the buzzy restaurants, bars, and clubs that are staples on Deuxmoi. (Soho House is around the corner, while Tower Bar and San Vicente Bungalows\u2014if you’re lucky enough to know a member\u2014are two-to-three-minute Uber drives away. Remember, this is L.A. Everyone<\/em> drives.) Inside is a warm, modern property. Guest room rooms are appointed with oak woods, crisp cream walls, and plenty<\/em> of Le Labo products. A rooftop pool has sprawling views of La La Land’s twinkling urban sprawl, and in the lobby, a lime green pool table is a playful accent against a neat green hedge wall that beckons you to an outdoor patio. \u2014Elise Taylor<\/p>\n

The Georgian\u2019s classic Art Deco, pastel blue facade has seen the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable step through its doors over the decades. After a buzzy renovation and reopening in 2023, it\u2019s welcomed a new generation of Tinseltown hedonists. The rooms pay homage to the seaside location in a breezy palette of crisp white and sky blue, while the lavishly-appointed ground floor restaurant\u2014all striped awnings and flamingo pink\u2014is now joined by the subterranean The Georgian Room, which, with its red velvet banquettes and gilded details offers a slice of old Hollywood right by the sea. \u2014Liam Hess, senior lifestyle editor<\/p>\n

The Maybourne\u2014the hotel group behind the iconic London property Claridge’s as well as the stunning new Maybourne Riveria\u2014recently took over a hotel in the heart of Beverly Hills, where Rodeo Drive is just around the corner. Already, their high-design sensibilities are starting to show: rooms are adorned in California neutrals (think whites, creams, taupes, and slight touches of Pacific Ocean blues) while the Andre-Fu lobby bar features a distinctive silver onyx bar and Yves-Klein blue counter seats. As a nod to their roots across the pond, this spring they even had a British-slash-California style afternoon tea in their garden where smoked salmon and cucumber sandwiches were served alongside lobster-topped tortillas. \u2014Elise Taylor<\/p>\n

Silver Lake Pool & Inn<\/div>\n

\n

Palisociety’s new Silver Lake outpost is the hotel embodiment of good vibes only. It feels like staying in your cool friend\u2019s guest house, complete with Block Shop woodblock prints, monstera plants (and the most comfortable bed I\u2019ve experienced in recent memory). Head to the elevated pool deck for a cocktail and take in the views of the Hollywood sign in the distance; even the cool kids won\u2019t blame you for snapping a photo. \u2014Jessie Heyman, executive editor, Vogue.com<\/p>\n

Nobu Ryokan Malibu<\/div>\n
\n

Co-signed by your favorite celebrities, Nobu Malibu is well known for its delicious cuisine on the water. However, the best-kept secret is just two doors down: their hotel, Nobu Ryokan Malibu. This unique property features 16 exclusive accommodations, ensuring an intimate and personalized experience, and is an unparalleled blend of Japanese-inspired aesthetics and coastal luxury. I\u2019ll be talking about this stay for the rest of my life. \u2014Taylor Anderson, associate manager, social media<\/p>\n

\n

Where to Eat<\/h2>\n
Dan Tana\u2019s<\/div>\n

\n

Every city has its old-school red sauce joint\u2014and in Los Angeles, that\u2019s Dan Tana\u2019s. Around since the 1960s (which, in L.A. years, means it\u2019s practically a historic landmark), Dan Tana\u2019s serves Italian-American cuisine\u2019s greatest hits within its iconic crimson red dining room: chicken parm, penne alla vodka, and veal Milanese\u2026 which they call \u201calla George Clooney,\u201d as the actor is one of their regulars. \u2014Elise Taylor<\/p>\n

La Scala<\/div>\n

Their chopped salad is iconic for a reason\u2014it\u2019s delicious! La Scala is the perfect spot for a quick Beverly Hills power lunch or an easy, but crowd-pleasing takeout dinner. \u2014Florence O\u2019Connor, associate content manager<\/p>\n

Anajak Thai<\/div>\n

You likely don’t need me to recommend Anajak Thai in Sherman Oaks\u2014it\u2019s a mainstay on every \u201cbest restaurant in L.A.\u201d list out there. But I\u2019ll do it anyway. This family-owned restaurant challenges every notion that Thai food is best enjoyed as takeout and elevates it to Michelin-worthy cuisine (once a month, they even offer their own take on an omakase experience). It\u2019s tough getting a reservation\u2014set your Resy alert!\u2014but on Tuesdays, they have a no-reservation Thai tco night. \u2014Elise Taylor<\/p>\n

The Apple Pan<\/div>\n

\n

The Apple Pan has been a Westside staple since 1947 and is arguably the best burger in L.A. (sorry, In-N-Out). Famous for its \u2018Hickory Burger\u2019 and pie selection, the diner-style restaurant is popular among locals and has limited seating so make sure you get there early but trust me\u2026 it is worth the wait. \u2014Florence O\u2019Connor<\/p>\n

Giorgio Baldi<\/div>\n

It\u2019s like the beginning of a Hollywood riddle: what do Martin Short and Meryl Streep and Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have in common? Both are regularly photographed entering or exiting the Santa Monica trattoria Giorgio Baldi, arguably the ne plus ultra celebrity clubhouse. It is hard to eat there without seeing someone famous, the last time I went Pierce Brosnan was peeling apart a langoustine. But despite the paparazzi bulbs flashing on the sidewalk of West Channel Road, inside the restaurant is cozy not flashy. It feels like Strega Nonna might be making your sage and brown butter ravioli (a personal favorite). Legend has it that a few celebrity favorite dishes include soft corn agnolotti for Kim Kardashian and an off-menu spaghetti pomodoro for Rihanna. \u2014Chloe Malle, head of editorial content, Vogue<\/p>\n

Talesai<\/div>\n

This family-owned Thai restaurant is a non-negotiable for me anytime I\u2019m home. Beyond the delicious food and well-stocked drink menu, you can expect top-tier service, great ambiance, and easy access to the Valley\u2019s main drag, Ventura Boulevard. You really can\u2019t go wrong with anything on the menu, but don’t leave without getting the mango sticky rice. \u2014Hannah Jackson, fashion writer<\/p>\n

Tower Bar<\/div>\n

Tower Bar\u2014or, the bar at Art-Deco landmark Sunset Tower Hotel\u2014has been the ultimate L.A. see-and-be-seen place since opening in 2006 (although details about who is in the room never really leave it, thanks to the strict no-photo policy). The feel is retro Hollywood. The martinis are strong. And, most importantly, the vibe is always impeccable. Although word to the wise\u2014make a reservation.<\/em> \u2014Elise Taylor<\/p>\n

The Polo Lounge<\/div>\n
\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The most famous dish in L.A. is arguably the (admittedly steeply-priced) $44 McCarthy Chopped Salad at the Polo Lounge, complete with avocado, chicken, beets, bacon, chickpeas, cheddar, and balsamic dressing. Enjoy it on their sun-dappled patio that exudes Old Hollywood. \u2014Lilah Ramzi<\/p>\n

Sushi Fumi<\/div>\n

Don\u2019t be fooled by the fancy clientele or the fact that a line starts to form outside the restaurant approximately one hour before it opens: Sushi Fumi is actually a casual neighborhood sushi spot. However, unlike a lot of L.A. sushi restaurants, the hype around Sushi Fumi is warranted\u2014and worth the \u201cwalk-ins only\u201d chaos for the spicy tuna alone. \u2014Florence O\u2019Connor<\/p>\n

Casa Vega<\/div>\n

One glance at the cocktail menu reveals that this Mexican spot is a true LA classic: drinks are named for regulars, from Dakota Fanning to Quentin Tarantino. And don\u2019t forget the tables with plaques dedicated to their most famous frequent visitors. (My favorite? The booth dually dedicated to Rock Hudson and The Chainsmokers.) While it’s great all year round, I especially recommend going during the holidays, when the\u00a0entire restaurant is draped in silver tinsel. \u2014Hannah Jackson<\/p>\n

Craig\u2019s<\/div>\n

What do Judge Judy, Ellen DeGeneres, John Legend, and Chrissy Teigen have in common? They all ate dinner on the same night as me at Craig\u2019s\u2013a restaurant embraced by Hollywood\u2019s A-list. Can\u2019t get a reservation? You\u2019ll probably have luck finding a seat at the bar. Though I can\u2019t guarantee Judge Judy will be there. \u2014Molly Barstein, associate manager, audience development<\/p>\n

As much as I like to lean into the laid-back L.A. lifestyle when I\u2019m on the West Coast, after I\u2019ve enjoyed my Erewhon smoothie and hiked Runyon, there\u2019s no place I’d rather end the night than at Linden\u2014the NYC-themed-restaurant on Sunset. Once you try the cornmeal-dusted snapper and prawns with polenta, you\u2019ll understand. \u2014Leah Faye Cooper, digital style director<\/p>\n

\"The<\/span><\/div>\n

Fresh pastas, vibrant salads, and decadent cocktails make Mother Wolf my go-to whenever I\u2019m in Los Angeles. The flagship restaurant of Chef Evan Funke transports Rome to Wilcox Avenue with its glowing, intimate dining room perfect for a first date or birthday celebration. In fact, I know more than a few locals who\u2019ve chosen it as their spot to celebrate. Arrive early and try their new aperitivo bar, Bar Avoja, before settling in for a Roman meal that\u2019s as indulgent as it is unforgettable. \u2014Abby Sjoberg, global director of audience<\/p>\n

Shoop\u2019s<\/div>\n

There are certain places that feel like little islands unto themselves. Shoop\u2019s is a deli in name but it is also an everything store; if your version of everything is rare Scandinavian candy (they claim to have the most extensive selection in town) and German butter cheese. It is the perfect post-beach breakfast stop if you\u2019re strolling the Venice boardwalk. My son Arthur is partial to the bacon blueberry pancakes, I love the famous house-smoked salmon. \u2014Chloe Malle<\/p>\n

Jon and Vinny\u2019s<\/div>\n

\n

Jon and Vinny’s is a casual spot: food is served upon paper placemats in diner-like booths, waiters wear t-shirts, and outside is a neon green sign loudly announcing its presence on Fairfax. (There are also locations in Brentwood, Beverly Hills, and Studio City.) Yet, the food is just that good. The must-order dish? Their famous spicy fusilli\u2014although you probably already knew that via Instagram. Order that, a pizza, and a glass of skin-contact wine from Helen’s Wines (the retail\u00a0shop in the back), and you’re in for a wonderfully chill night. \u2014Elise Taylor<\/p>\n

Zankou Chicken<\/div>\n

The lore around\u00a0this Armenian\/Mediterranean chain is just as juicy as their chicken. You haven\u2019t lived until you\u2019ve tried their whipped garlic sauce\u2014a secret family recipe! \u2014Hannah Jackson<\/p>\n

Taverna Tony<\/div>\n

Whether you\u2019re in need of a light bite after a beach day at Pointe Dume or a glass of white wine after spending too much money at the Malibu Country Mart, Taverna Tony is always the perfect way to round out your Malibu day. You could fill up on the dips and pita alone and be satisfied, but don\u2019t miss out on the Greek angel pasta or the chicken oreganato. \u2014Florence O\u2019Connor<\/p>\n

Manuela<\/div>\n

The sprawling complex owned by mega-gallery Hauser & Wirth in the heart of the Downtown L.A. Arts District contains enough within its four walls to keep you occupied all morning (make a beeline for the excellent art bookshop, in particular). But if all that wandering through its grand industrial halls has you feeling hungry, there\u2019s a reason to extend your visit through to lunchtime, too. Namely, in order to stop by Manuela, named after one-half of the Swiss couple behind the art powerhouse. There, you\u2019ll find a sharing menu notable for its farm-to-table freshness and the perfectly judged accents of Southern cuisine that are thrown in the mix. (Think: a lip-smackingly fresh shrimp aguachile,<\/em> skirt steak grilled to perfection and dressed in a poblano chimichurri, and a kaleidoscopic orange salad that looks like an artwork in and of itself.) Manuela is just as much of a culinary destination as the gallery surrounding it is a cultural one. \u2014Liam Hess<\/p>\n

Lowboy and Bar Flores<\/div>\n

Posted next door to each other along the Echo Park stretch of Sunset Boulevard, Lowboy and Ba,r Flores are two of the area\u2019s most beloved spots. They\u2019re great stops on a bar crawl, but I like to order a smash burger at the Lowboy window and bring it upstairs to Bar Flores for a cocktail on the patio. \u2014Hannah Jackson, fashion writer<\/p>\n

Huckleberry<\/div>\n

Huckleberry is a true locals\u2019 spot, usually filled with young Santa Monica families or the rare low-key coffee meeting. Their brunch menu is a must-try, especially if you are on the hunt for a delicious breakfast burrito or banana bread. \u2014Florence O\u2019Connor<\/p>\n

Joan\u2019s on Third<\/div>\n

If you want a dining experience that screams, \u201cI\u2019m in LA\u201d grab yourself lunch and an outdoor table at the West Hollywood institution of Joan\u2019s on Third. The food is as good as the people watching over at this celeb hot spot\u2014and although everyone swears by the Chinese chicken salad, I personally make a beeline straight for their baked goods section. \u2014Florence O\u2019Connor<\/p>\n

The Ivy<\/div>\n

\n

The food is, yes, wonderful at The Ivy. But for me, the decor is the main draw: Proven\u00e7al in style and kaleidoscopic in hue, it\u2019s a distinct ambiance that can’t quite be compared to anywhere else: booths are accented with poppy-red striped pillows, and tables are topped with crystal candelabras. On the walls are a mix of blue-and-white plates as well as a gallery of expressionist-esque paintings. Meanwhile, beautiful flowers are everywhere. \u2014 Lilah Ramzi<\/p>\n

Yes, you\u2019ve properly heard of it. And if you haven\u2019t heard of it, the countless paparazzi photographs of celebrities render it familiar. But even if dining with the famous and infamous holds little appeal, the delicious cuisine\u00a0and arresting views make Nobu worth a trip to the beach. \u2014Ian Malone, experiences manager<\/p>\n

There are three locations of Night + Market across Los Angeles: West Hollywood, Silver Lake, and Venice. Each one is delicious and each one is fun<\/em>\u2026 it\u2019s where you go to have some delicious Thai food (my favorites are the pastrami pad kee mao and turmeric coconut curry) while washing it down with a bottle of natural wine. \u2014Elise Taylor<\/p>\n

Found Oyster<\/div>\n

This casual spot in East Hollywood is a must-try for any serious oyster lover. Centered around one long wooden bar, the quaint 26-seat restaurant\u2014which opened in 2019\u2014offers fresh oysters, as well as shucked clams, lobster rolls, chowder, and a full raw bar. Come for the no-frills menu, which prides itself on infusing East Coast seafood with West Coast flavors, but stay for the top-tier wine list. Oh, and a side of fries to go with that perfect oyster platter? Mandatory. \u2014Christian Allaire, senior fashion and style writer<\/p>\n

Angelini is a beloved Italian restaurant in Los Angeles. (Don\u2019t just take my word for it\u2014Saweetie named it as one of her favorite restaurants in a list for The Infatuation while Hailey and Justin Bieber were spotted having a lunch date there recently.) It has two locations: one in Fairfax and another in the Pacific Palisades, the latter of which is currently closed due to the tragic fires that ripped through the region. (Even more<\/em> of a reason to visit the Fairfax branch and support.) Order the sea urchin spaghetti and lasagna verde \u201comaggio nonna Elvira.\u201d \u2014Elise Taylor<\/p>\n

Pace<\/div>\n

Tucked away in Laurel Canyon, Pace is a delightful Italian spot imbued with the spirit of yore. It\u2019s dark, sexy, and cavelike, but also easygoing and unpretentious. Doodle on the paper tablecloth, enjoy some people-watching, and pretend you\u2019re in Laurel Canyon during its heyday. \u2014Hannah Jackson<\/p>\n

World famous for a reason. Whether you want to shop at the dozens of high-end designer boutiques that dot the ritzy avenue\u2014from Chanel to Saint Laurent\u2014or just see the setting for films like Pretty Women<\/em> and Clueless,<\/em> it\u2019s always worth a visit. \u2014Elise Taylor<\/p>\n

As a vintage-obsessed, few vintage stores go as far back with their objects as I would like them to. Call me old-fashioned but the Aughts don\u2019t classify as vintage. Thankfully L.A. (and its old Hollywood roots) understands this and this city\u2019s vintage shops, vintage means vintage! Top of my shopping list is Happy Isles. Location in Beverly Hills, it\u2019s a well-curated spot where 1950s prom dresses intermingle with 1980s sharp-shouldered blazers and where I\u2019m in heaven. \u2014Lilah Ramzi<\/p>\n

Wasteland<\/div>\n

No L.A. trip is complete without a quick shopping stop at Wasteland, which has several locations across the city (including in Hollywood, Studio City, Highland Park, and more). Inside, you can find an array of secondhand designer goods\u2014whether it\u2019s a sleek Rick Owens jacket, or a fresh-off-the-runway Prada dress. The inventory is good and ever-rotating\u2014the prices are even better. Come here to find high-fashion for a steal. \u2014Christian Allaire<\/p>\n

The Way We Wore<\/div>\n

Looking for a Mugler mini dress from the 80s? A Halston gown from the 70s? A Christian Dior suit from the 60s? Look no further than The Way We Wore, one of the best vintage experiences in the United States. The incredible selection allows for sartorial time travel.\u00a0\u2014Ian Malone<\/p>\n

Bode Store<\/div>\n

Despite Emily Bode\u2019s Brooklyn base, the brand feels right at home in California. The patterned, patchworked, and hand-embroidered pieces are perfect for the city of angels. The recently opened West Coast flagship offers the entire current collection, as well as exclusive pieces. Bode is a closet necessity for any cool boy (or girl). \u2014Ian Malone<\/p>\n

The Webster<\/div>\n

The department store elevates retail to experimental heights with its L.A. location. The 11,000-square-foot building, designed by Sir David Adjaye, is encased in signature pink concrete. The spectacular curation of clothes in the futuristic setting will satisfy the most discerning customer and inspire the most jaded sophisticate. \u2014Ian Malone<\/p>\n

Brentwood General Store<\/div>\n

Strolling Montana Avenue is the ideal way to spend a Sunday afternoon, but the street\u2019s pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance is the family-owned Brentwood General Store. The quaint space is lined with shelves perfectly curated with everything from vintage china to gourmet snacks. It truly is every hostess\u2019s dream\u2014they even sell bouquets of flowers that are freshly arranged by the owner each morning. \u2014Florence O\u2019Connor<\/p>\n

Zak Eyes<\/div>\n

Who hasn\u2019t traveled to a sunny locale and realized upon arrival that they forgot their sunglasses? Fortunately, you can make a field trip out of fixing it and head to Zak Eyes in West Hollywood for custom frames (including prescription) or Jacques Marie Mage and Native Sons sunglasses, then head next door to Jon & Vinny\u2019s for lunch or dinner. \u2014Chloe Malle<\/p>\n

Melrose Avenue<\/div>\n

The West Hollywood stretch of Melrose Avenue is my favorite place to shop because of its contemporary offerings: Toteme, Redone, Vivienne Westwood,and Ulla Johnson are just some<\/em> of the stores you’ll find on the street. (If we\u2019re making New York comparisons, think about it as the Soho of Los Angeles whereas Rodeo Drive is the Fifth Avenue.) There are also a lot of great interior design stores, from a Soho Home to Ken Fulk\u2019s first brick-and-mortar shop. \u2014Elise Taylor<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is the largest art museum in the western United States, with a vast collection that includes Picassos, Migrittes, Hockneys, and more. It also boasts two impressive outdoor installations with Chris Burden\u2019s Urban Light and Michael Heizer\u2019s \u201cLevitated Mass.\u201d \u2014Lilah Ramzi<\/p>\n

Stahl House<\/div>\n

You know those iconic photos of a rooftop pool with a scrumptious L.A. view? You\u2019re likely thinking of Julius Shulman\u2019s photographs of Stahl House. The Stahl House (also known as Case Study House #22) is a modernist marvel built in 1959 by architect Pierre Koenig. Though still owned by the Stahl family, the home is available for tour. Book a visit to be transported back to mid-century L.A. \u2014 Lilah Ramzi<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in L.A. during baseball season, head over to Dodger Stadium and enjoy America\u2019s pastime courtesy of the 2024 World Series champions. Grab a Dodger Dog and a beer, and if you feel like hitting the dancefloor after the game, you can head on down to The Short Stop to keep the party going. \u2014Hannah Jackson<\/p>\n

The Brentwood Country Mart is one of those places that could only exist in L.A. and its perennially sunny weather. Grab a bitE at its outdoor food court (my favorite stall is Reddi Chik) and then peruse the shops: there are outposts of famous California Brands like Doen and Jenni Kayne, as well as Gwyneth Paltrow\u2019s original Goop Store. Then, stop by the Farm Shop for some locally sourced, California-inspired fare and products\u2026 as well as a quality selection of natural wines. \u2014Elise Taylor<\/p>\n

Wasteland<\/div>\n

While Wasteland has locations in West Hollywood and Highland Park, I\u2019m partial to the Studio City outpost, which is overflowing with naughties Prada\u00a0kitten heels, barely worn sweaters from The Row, and Helmut Lang tops. With a healthy stock, fair prices, and a good playlist bumping, I can accidentally spend hours trying on clothes that I most certainly\u00a0don\u2019t need (but I\u2019ll get them anyway). \u2014Hannah Jackson<\/p>\n

The entrance to the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena is lined with Rodins\u2014which gives you the immediate (and correct) indication that you\u2019re about to experience some world-class art. Inside, there’s everything from Dutch Old Masters, to Van Goghs, to Dan Flavins. Don\u2019t miss their outdoor sculpture garden. \u2014Chloe Malle<\/p>\n

Bookstar<\/div>\n

I\u2019ve spent hours of my life wandering around this old movie theater-turned-Barnes & Noble in Studio City. The theater\u2019s marquis remains intact, as do the Old Hollywood flourishes inside. Come for the architecture, stay for a good book.<\/p>\n

The Broad<\/div>\n

Opening in 2015, The Broad is a relatively new museum in Los Angeles. But already it’s made quite the name for itself with a 2,000-work collection featuring Cindy Sherman, Jeff Koons, Ed Ruscha, Roy Lichtenstein, and Andy Warhol. Located in Downtown L.A., it\u2019s also close to many galleries and restaurants. \u2014Lilah Ramzi<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
