Food Scene
I just love this scene every Sunday. there is rarely a bad day to go to an outdoor farmers market. This particular neighborhood market features many breakfast options by local eateries, a petting zoo for the children, and live music while you enjoy your meal under the trees and open patio of the Victorian.

If you're into Vegan food or just enjoy a healthy lifestyle, this place is definitely worth checking out. Very close to the apt.

Well known for their giant bowl of Nachos. my ultimate favorite brunch item is the Lemon Skinny pancake. (Brunch is only served on weekends). There's also a separate bakery/cafe and adjacent pizza restaurant next door.

Parks & Nature
amazing 360 views of the city of Los Angeles and the ocean. not for the faint at heart. it's about a 3.5hr roundtrip hike and can often be blazing hot at the top where there is little shade.

The crowd is young and vibrant - very unique bar scene with the Bungalow located inside the Fairmont Hotel grounds. In the summer, the outside bar is completely open with trees hung with lights. Cozy sitting areas overlooking the Palisades Bluffs and ocean. interior bar areas have plenty of cozy areas, pool table and people having fun.
