Food Scene

Great small plates, affordable and wonderful wine selection. Claudio (the owner) makes you feel like an old friend. Gorgeous garden. Seats at the bar are almost more popular than tables! A great spot for brunch as well.

Driving by, you would totally miss this place and that would be a shame. All you see is the parking lot on the corner. But walk through the parking lot, through the carved wooden doors, and you enter a magical garden with a giant tree providing shade to the diners. The food is fantastic - one of the best brunch spots in the city. Great bar selections.

They have this avocado sandwich that is out of this world. I'm sure the other food there is great as well, but I always get the avocado sandwich!

Only open for breakfast and lunch, but what a tasty breakfast! And they have fake bacon that actually tastes like real bacon! Homemade jam to slather on your toast. Totally chill vibe.

You could make your own coffee, or you can walk around the corner for some of the best coffee in Silverlake (and that's saying a lot for a place that has great coffee). Totally charming little spot. Be forewarned, it's expensive!

So, this place isn't walkable from Casa Palmitas, but it's authentic NY pizza (and I grew up in NY so I know what I'm talking about!). Sometimes you just need pizza...

No trip to LA is complete without a visit to downtown LA. And Redbird is one of my favorite restaurants downtown. Gorgeous space. Tasty food, and less expensive than you would think. They also give you an amuse booze rather than an amuse bouche to start your meal!

Arts & Culture

If you are in town during the Hollywood Bowl season, you should definitely see a show at this iconic venue. From the Sound of Music Sing-A-Long to the Hollywood Philharmonic to Tony Bennett to Maxwell, the Hollywood Bowl has an incredible lineup of performers. You can pack a picnic and eat on the grounds or at your seat. And you are welcome to bring wine! A must do in LA.

The Broad Museum has a great collection of modern and pop art. It's free, but often crowded, so reservations are recommended. It's a good place to start your day in DTLA!

The La Brea Tar Pits are cool! Fascinating to think that mastodons roamed what is now Wilshire Blvd. Right next to LACMA, so you can do both museums in one day.

The Getty's architecture and gardens are the draw. Lots of different, mostly smaller exhibits, so you won't have museum fatigue when you're done. Have a coffee or glass of wine, sit on the patio, and enjoy the view.

Sightseeing

The Griffith Park Observatory is only one of many interesting sights in Griffith Park. It's a cool museum, and after exploring the Observatory, you can hike the park on its 35 miles of hiking trails.

Spend a day exploring the Arts District. Lots of cool galleries. Tasty restaurants (Factory Kitchen and Church and State are favorites). Tour a local distillery. The Arts District is booming right now.

Parks & Nature

There is an actual lake in Silverlake! Ok, a reservoir! Run (or walk) around the reservoir - about 2 miles around. Or have a picnic in the meadow on the north side of the reservoir. There's often yoga classes in the meadow.

Entertainment & Activities

Dodger Stadium is about 1.5 miles away, so you could walk to Dodger Stadium from Casa Palmitas...or you could Uber! A fun way to spend an afternoon. Dodger Stadium hasn't been redone like lots of other stadiums, but I love the old school vibe.
