Great sushi. Not super cheap, but not outrageous either. They have a large covered outdoor dining area in the parking lot behind the restaurant. For a change of sushi pace try the 3 mushroom or the eggplant dishes.

There facade is cool and worth a visit. But if you've never seen a movie in a GIANT theater... treat yourself. The main theater is massive and gorgeous. When buying a movie ticket double check that it's the movie playing in the MAIN THEATER!

An awesome place to see a movie. Cineramadome is, besides Mann Chinese Theater, the other truly massive movie theater in Los Angeles. Iconic 60's architecture. And it was featured in Quinten Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood."

When Frank Gehry built the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain and covered the exterior in titanium I took a trip there to see it. Then, a couple years later, he did the same thing in Los Angeles when he designed the LA Philharmonic. It's an epic piece of architecture.

Cool place to start a day. Intelligencia Coffee is located in the heart of the junction. You might spot a famous person or two there grabbing their morning coffee. There are some nice shops, a few coffeeshops, a bunch of great restaurants, several hip bars, and marijuana dispensesary (Mota) all within walking distance.

This is a hidden gem. Walking distance to Hollywood/Vine. Their happy hour only goes until 6pm, but it's the cheapest happy hour in Hollywood. We bring our kids here on the occasional Friday night for cheap, great food, abundant cheap drinks. Later it turns into a hipster scene. Beautiful decor.
