I have purchased SO many of my favorite things from this flea market! They have almost everything, i've gotten most of my vinyl record collection here. I've recently got most if not all my wall decorations from here. Every Sunday at Fairfax High Scho...
Melrose Trading Post | Flea Market
Runyon has so many different hiking trails, i've done them all and any that you choose will leave you feeling refreshed (and maybe exhausted on certain ones)! The trail is open Monday - Sunday, Sunrise - Sunset. I go in at the N Fuller Ave entrance.
Hike - Runyon Canyon Park
This flea market is top of the line! It only occurs the second Sunday of every month and costs about $12 a person to get in but trust me its worth it.
Rose Bowl Flea Market
This flea market is super cute, smaller in comparison to the others but full of fun treasures! Open Every Friday from 10am-3:30pm, Every Saturday from 8:30am-3:30pm, Every Sunday 9:30am-3:30pm Free Admission
Silverlake Flea / Vintage Flea Market
OKAY last flea market but I love this one so much too! I met the owner of the event and he is the best! I get a lot of trinkets and Vinyl records here but have found some of my staples in my wardrobe here as well. I always find exactly what i'm looki...
Los Feliz Flea at Vintage Land
Venice is a fun place to go for the skate park and you can roller skate, skateboard or bike a trail down the beach! You can get cool souvenirs/trinkets from the shops but to be aware of panhandlers, just ignore them at all costs.

Marina Del Rey is so cute and cozy! My friend lives there and if you love. a beach vibe then this is the best one near LA!
Marina del Rey
Restaurants
If you love Italian food (like me) you're going to be obsessed with this place! I go here for every special occasion I have and literally get the same thing because its just that good (Penne Arrabbiata, you're welcome)
Gruppo Terroni
This place has insanely good pasta and everything i've had here has left me speechless.
Met Her At A Bar
Canters has been one of my favorite food places since I moved to LA. Its a historical landmark right there on Fairfax blvd with some of the best deli food i've ever had but they have a really big menu!
Canter's
This is the only place i'll order a sandwich from in LA, seriously. The wait time is a bit long but it's so worth it! Really good bread (obviously) so if you're looking for a good sandwich this is your place, maybe order ahead.

Best bagels in LA, I said it. The price is phenomenal compared to other places in LA and doesn't leave you disappointed. I got 2 coffees and 2 specialty bagels for under $20 and that seems to be unheard of here. Check out the shops around it too, can...
Noah's Bagels
If you're looking for a fun time: Saddle ranch has to be a stop for you. It's a bar restaurant and guaranteed (good) chaos! I recommend doing a brunch with a bunch of your friends!
Saddle Ranch Chop House | Steaks - Bulls - Rock N Roll
This really is the best Mexican food in LA! It's authentic and reminds me of the Mexican food back home!

This place has the best steak i've ever had, seriously. It's an influencer spot though so make your reservations in advance.
BOA Steakhouse
Bars
I am a regular here since it opened, its hard to go to other bars knowing how fun this one is EVERY time i go. Any day of the week you go i can promise you a fun honkey-tonk time! Give it a chance and you wont be disappointed.
Desert 5 Spot
This 70's style speak easy type bar is SO fun! I will say it can get crowded but to really check out the beauty of this place, come a little earlier around 8 and get some amazing photos!
Good Times at Davey Wayne's
Another historical landmark in terms of rock ‘n’ roll history. I come here all the time to get a bite to eat and drink obviously. It's 2 stories and has SO much to look at, great spot for photos, I had my wedding photos/party here!
Rainbow Bar & Grill
The whiskey is super fun for my rock n roll lovers out there! Tons of 80's bands still play here and they have jam nights full of people who played in all your favorite iconic rock bands! Give their calendar a look.
Whisky a Go Go
This underground, circle style club is a lot of fun! Warning though: it IS underground so there is little to no service, smaller so can get crowded. If you're up for it, give it a try and get some photos!
Madame Siam
If you love drag queens, I have the perfect place for you in West Hollywood! I have been to Drag Bingo and had an amazing time! The drinks are insane, definitely go for an event.
Hamburger Mary's West Hollywood – Eat, Drink, and Be... MARY!
This bar is located inside the sunset marquis hotel and is such a vibe. I met my husband here and have frequented this spot for a bit. It’s smaller but the atmosphere is nice and they have a big smoking section that’s partially inside!
Bar 1200
This place is a super fun sports bar with outdoor seating and the food is to die for! They also serve food till midnight i think so i always hit this place after desert 5 spot for a quick bite. Get the steak bites or meatballs (seriously).
Elbow Room Bar | Los Angeles | Bar | Los Angeles | Elbow ...
My friends and I go here all the time for karaoke on Sundays! You may even see some Vanderpump Rules cast members there too!
The Belmont Los Angeles
The Karaoke and Trivia nights here are SO fun! My friend is a bartender there and they have games/dart boards as well! You won't regret coming here.
Surly Goat
This place is KILLER. They have tons of events here and bands. If you love a dive bar then you'll love this place.

I've been here quite a few times and always had so much fun! If you're visiting, swing by. They also have some food also with a 2 drink minimum.
Laugh Factory
I've been here a few time and really had a great night of laughs.
Hollywood Improv
This venue is super fun and they always have something going on! I've been to parties, comedy shows and concerts here. Definitely worth a try.
The Bourbon Room: Upcoming Shows
If you're into the alternative lifestyle then you will fawn over this for sure. It is located in the Boardeners bar in hollywood so check their schedule to see when you can catch this fun party.
Bar Sinister
If you love. a good old fashioned roller rink then i have just the place for you in Glendale! This is the only one in the area and it's a fun place to go with your friends.
Moonlight Rollerway, Inc.
