Hiking

Walk up Sargent Place and take Sargent Court to the right to get to this "hidden gem". It's a huge park, only slightly smaller than Griffith Park, but most Angelenos don't even know about it.

One of the best truly Mexican restaurants (think Mexico City) in a lovely outdoor setting near the LA River on the edge of Frogtown. Don't miss the Paloma! Book on Resy for dinner and weekend brunch, but lunches during the week are easy without a reservation

Vegan burgers that rival In N' Out easily. It's a small chain now and definitely quintessentially LA.

No reason to squeeze into the original location just a bit further down on Sunset when you can pick up or Postmate this top-of-the-line ramen to eat at the house. There's even a Silverlake Ramen in Atlanta now I hear, so that's enough said.

One of the 101 Best Restaurants in LA according to the LA Times 2021 list. Japanese yakitori and other highly creative food. If you can't get a reservation, go to Ototo next door it's literally the 'little brother'. Both places are famous for their Sake program.
