This is our favorite Thai restaurant in LA! If you're a meat eater, you have to get the chicken dumplings in green curry sauce. They've also got great pad thai& noodle dishes!

Drinks & Nightlife
Mama Shelter has my favorite rooftop in Hollywood! You can see EVERYTHING! Go lounge on the couches with a Moscow Mule and catch the sunset. It does get busy on weekends so earlier is better!

Parks & Nature
Runyon is an iconic hiking spot in LA. Just be warned that we use the work "hiking" very loosely. It's about a mile and 1/2 walk up hill to stunning views then you turn around and walk back the way you came. It is fun to do and snap a photo or two at the top!
