Food Scene

Ask them for what crab is in season. A friend and I ordered the dungeness crab and it was so good. The price range will be $15-30 a person.

I think this bakery just has bread completely nailed down. I like their plain ensemadas, their pork sliders, their mocha cake slices, and their sansrival cake. Also try ube (yam) flavored baked goods!

Great El Pastor tacos with a slice of pineapple! Inexpensive. I think I ordered 10 tacos for less than $10.

Happy hour is M-Fri, 4-6 pm. Their burgers are all half off, $5-7. They also make great sweet potato fries and an incredibly sweet, decadent bread pudding.

They have the best tsukemen (noodles dipped in pork broth) in the US according to some food magazines. :] It is delicious: comforting and savory. Get the ajitama tsukemen! Tsujita boils its eggs well!

Shopping

It's a classy mall with a fountain, music playing from speakers, and a lawn to read/relax on. I'm generally apathetic to malls, but this one is pretty nice if you want to shop a little or stroll.

Parks & Nature

Even though the words "tar pit" are in the name, this is really a nice park with a lovely lawn. It's big, so you see other groups wandering around as well. Plus it's right by the LA County Museum which is great to explore as well!

There is a science museum at the observatory, but this whole area has lots of hikes, including the hike to the observatory and three hiking routes to the Hollywood sign! The view from the top is great and at night, the city lights are beautiful! It's very romantic at night, too. :]
