Eat, Play, Stay: Los Angeles Tour

Los Angeles is one of those places I can't quite put my finger on. There are so many neighborhoods within it, everyday of my visit felt like I was somewhere else. While in LA, we visited Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, the Arts District, Downtown LA (DTLA), and Malibu. 
The Arts District
The Arts District felt the equivalent of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. There's tons of kitschy shops, good food, and vintage shopping. Not to mention the grafitti - pure works of art. I absolutely recommend stopping by Guerilla Atelier, it's high-fashion, carefully curated pieces in an old, beautiful garage.

Hollywood Hills
For some reason, it felt weird rolling through Hollywood Hills knowing that so many celebs live there. While at Griddle Cafe, we turned and Rick Fox was just chillin' and eating pancakes. I usually don't get starstruck, especially being from NYC, but hey - when in Rome.

Also...In-N-Out. Yes.

Beverly Hills
The homes are BEAUTIFUL. That is all. It's worth the drive through just to get a glimpse of the estates.

Downtown LA
The Urban Lights at LACMA are a load of fun - it's a complete tourist trap, but it's fun trying to figure out different angles for pictures. And how enchanting it was to be on the set of so many romantic scenes in movies? Want some old glamour? Head to the Biltmore. Want some Prohibition-style fun? The Edison is an old bank vault full of bad decisions and good fun. And Perch LA is there to pick up all of the pieces the day after.

Hollywood
To be honest, Hollywood and the Walk of Fame left much to be desired. But hey, we did it!



Malibu
Unreal. Just unreal. Look at this sunset.
