Food Scene

Casa Vega is an old Valley stand-by. It's always crowded for happy hour, and it's a great place to grab an "old LA" style drink as it's one of the few restaurants that has NO windows to speak of.

Du-Par's is one of the last true L.A. diners with a history dating back over 70 years. The Studio City location is a short drive from the house, and worth it. Their pancakes are world-class.

Barone's is decent Italian and it's within walking distance of the house. They're famous for their Neapolitan-style rectangular pizza. Yum.

One of the last surviving examples of the true 50's drive-in, Bob's is a historic landmark. Cruise nights are hosted in their parking lot every Friday at 5pm.

It's Starbucks...what else is there to say? The coffee's consistently decent, though far from extraordinary. If you have to have your latte, this is a good place to go.

Shopping

Fashion Square mall is the closest shopping center. Anchored by a Macy's and Bloomingdale's, it's a small-to-medium sized mall. It's a decent place to find gifts and clothing.

Drinks & Nightlife

With live music many nights of the week, Ireland's 32 is a fun neighborhood hot-spot. It's dive-y, but it's great on nights when the bands play. Big plus-- it's walking distance from the house.

Arts & Culture

This is, by far, the best movie theater in the valley. Reserved seating, plush chairs, wider aisles (in some theaters), and top-notch projection & sound make the experience a pleasure.

Sightseeing

The Universal Studios theme park is the closest one to the house, and it's an easy drive to get there. Situated next to Hollywood, it's worth a visit if you want great views and a sunburn.

The Gamble House is a craftsman-style home designed by architects Greene & Greene. One of the best surviving examples of craftsman-style architecture, this home is well worth touring.

The Huntington Gardens are expansive enough to lose yourself for the entire day in natural beauty. For a change from typical L.A. hectic days, head here to have a calmer day.
