Food Scene
Pizzeria Mozza
641 N Highland AveFun to sit at the bar, great pizza, great wine.
I love this place, best espresso drinks, and the BEST plain croissants in LA. Delicious sandwiches for lunch and yummy cookies and baked goods. Nice staff, seating outside on Sunset.

Best local art scene exhibited here. UCLA's museum, it's free! Great cafe, and always great, inspiring exhibits. I highly recommend.

Entertainment & Activities
Fun to see a live show at The Groundlings, very close to the house on Melrose. Last time I went with my nephew, we took a Lyft ride there and walked back. I've heard Upright Citizens Brigade is fun too... but haven't been yet. I think the Groundlings show on Thursday night is what we saw for $18.

Shopping
Who doesn't need a $100 t-shirt? Staples galore... They have $50 t-shirts so I am half kidding.

Everything Else
I can't believe I just discovered this beautiful yoga center. It's in the old Golden Bridge Yoga that closed in 2014. It's amazing. They have kundalini every morning at 8:30 which I love, other great classes and meditation. This yoga studio has a great outdoor sitting area off of their cafe... very good Groundworks coffee and morning basics, like baked goods, museli, various breakfast items, smoothies. Just discovered it. Fun to sit outside.
