Great for a morning run/bike from our house to justify indulging in a biscuit or french toast in a cup. Order the salmon on an english muffin if you want to get on our level. Great prices and good coffee, and make sure to ask for the hot sauce as it adds just the right amount of tang--but they don't offer if you don't ask.

Flat out the best breakfast in Glassell Park, which actually says a lot. AWESOME biscuits. Don't sleep on the planchita or the cauliflower hash, and if you want to go hard in the paint get the challah bread french toast--but try not to fall asleep on your walk back to our place.

Heavy seafood that runs the gamut from mild spices to blazing hot. Shrimp, mussels, clams, sausage, corn and potatoes is all you need. Good for some serious indulgence, but don't forget the Rolaids.

Because vegan food can actually be amazing, and because you want to see some celebrities trying to carve out a piece of that NELA hipness that everyone is craving these days. Feel free to get yourself a piece, and give the Gomasio rice cakes a shot while you're at it. You won't regret it.

Oh you're new to LA and have never heard of Zankou chicken? Come worship the god of Middle Eastern chicken and their sacrament, whipped garlic sauce. The Chicken Tarna wrap is a culinary apex, I kid you not. I did my tax returns and realized I ate Zankou over 50+ times last year; this year, I hope to do even better...

French-inspired cuisine with a hearty dose of American indulgence. The brunch will bowl you over, and the dinner will charm the pants off whomever you award the pleasure of your company. It's all pretty good so I'll refrain from editorializing...but definitely get the ricotta coffee cake.

Proof of what? Proof that sandwiches are still an essential and spiritually-nourishing part of your diet? Proof that pastries can still surprise and tantalize your tastebuds? Proof that good coffee is alive and well in Atwater Village? Yes, Yes and Yes. Marinated beet sandwich is a must.

Mmmm...Excellent Middle Eastern restaurant with pep in their step. World-class lamb plates delivered to your table in under 10 minutes. Too few of the institutions in our lives deliver so much happiness with such punctuality and alacrity. Celebrate with an avocado toast and ponder why that is, or just order another pickled falafel and let the bliss sink in.

Want to see weekends going off in Highland Park? Immerse yourself in the scene and people-watch while playing shuffleboard, Wii bowling on the projector screen or just throw back an alcoholic snowcone. Blow a whole night or keep moving on to all the other York Blvd. hotspots just down the street.

Sightseeing
President Obama's Alma Mater, a beautiful slice of Eagle Rock scenery on a hilltop with a 360 view of NELA. Great for walks and catching a buzz from the heavy academic vibes that permeate the college grounds. Groovy.

Situated at the top of picturesque Mt. Washington, the Self-Realization Fellowship grounds are like nothing else in LA--in the best way possible. Remote, verdant, quiet, introspective, meditative--I could pull out my thesaurus and keep going but just trust me on this one, it's a real stunner. Great for picnics, mediative pauses, romantic walks and whatever else your enlightened mind needs.

Because you followed the rest of this guide and can feel the glorious caloric excess beginning to weigh you down. Don't let the c-list "actors" and insta-famous models of Runyon canyon see you sweat it out as you struggle up the hills; instead, head over to Ernest Debs with the normies and take in one of the most under-rated nature scenes LA has to offer. Check out the placid pond and panoramic view from the top, it's a treat.

Shopping
You're visiting LA and obviously you're going to need a killer wardrobe to step out into that cutthroat Cali-cool nightlife scene. No better place to stock up than at Weepah, where the vintage clothing guarantees stylistic staying power greater than any of that pret-a-pre crap at H&M or Top Shop. Check the lifestyle goods and maybe get yourself a nice souvenir, and tell Constance we said hi.
