24 Hours in Los Angeles
The perfect LA day: great coffee, world-class art, and a killer dinner.
Friday
May 29Dinosaur Coffee
Dinosaur Coffee is a walk-up window in Silver Lake. Simple drinks, nice outdoor seating. A good reset before dinner.
Open
Open is a meditation studio that offers drop-in sessions. The space is calm and the guidance is practical. A useful way to transition into the evening.
Kismet
Kismet serves Middle Eastern food with California sensibility. The dishes are meant to share. The room can get loud. Reservations help.
Death & Co
Death and Co operates out of a dim room on Sunset. The bartenders know what they are doing. It fills up late. Go earlier if you want a seat.
Silver Lake Pool & Inn
Silver Lake Pool & Inn sits on Sunset in a neighborhood that still feels local. The pool is small but nice. The rooms are simple and clean. A good base for this side of the city.
All Time
All Time does California comfort food in a bright, friendly room. The pancakes are reliable. The wait can be long on weekends so put your name in early.
Maru Coffee
Maru is a small shop in Los Feliz with excellent espresso and limited seating. Order and take it to go if the room is full.
LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art)
LACMA spreads across several buildings on Wilshire. The collection ranges wide. The urban light installation out front is hard to avoid.
Saturday
May 30The Getty Center
The Getty Center sits on a hill above the 405. The views are reason enough. The collection is strong on impressionists and photography. The gardens are well kept. Give it a few hours.
Skylight Books
Skylight Books is an independent bookstore with a good selection and a neighborhood feel. A nice stop before heading to the airport.
