This is a great restaurant that'll satisfy any customer -- they cater to vegan, gluten-free and meat-eating diets and have a wide range of beers on tap, good cocktails, and wine. Their brunch is great, and they've got good happy-hour specials on pizzas!

Essentials

A really beautiful organic grocery store with food bar options and a good health and wellness section, too. Not cheap, but definitely cream of the Echo Park grocery store crop.

This is a steakhouse and bar, and the place where you can catch the famous Marty & Elaine performing some nights. Weird LA! I love it.

Sightseeing

My favorite spot in LA. Perfect for sunset to see all of LA, the ocean on a clear day, and the Hollywood sign. If you want a nice hike, park down at the bottom of the hill at Trails Cafe, hike up to the Observatory and back down. About an hour round-trip. If you're going for sunset, go early! Or else spend an hour trying to find parking...
