Don't use delivery service, call straight in to order- they're super nice and it'll save you a bunch of money on the prices & delivery. It's a quick drive, and they offer very decently poured & priced "little sips" of wine you can enjoy while you wait.
A quick drive to pick up, recommend the khao soi, pork toro, & garlic rice: nightmarketsong.com/song-dinner

The bagels are delicious and the coffee is strong. Reccomend the Lox bagel and a walk through the neighborhoods off Rose. Wide, quiet streets and beautiful homes :)

IMO best tacos in LA! Walking distance, al pastor & carne asada tacos are great! The Harache is a great veggie option too.
Be sure to ask for guacamole sauce, green sauce, red sauce & cilantro/onion to go- they are very generous and it's real delicious

Neighborhoods
Beautiful walks through this neighborhood, check out all the cool Victorian homes and sweet neighbors. Recommend going just before dusk, the smell of the rose and jasmine bushes is pretty delightful alongside the sunset.
Iconic houses from the music video for "Thriller" and cult-classic TV show "You" are here. There is always filming happening, you never know what you'll stumble into!
A lot of the houses will place citrus, books, and all kinds of offerings out front for people to enjoy :)
