so worth a trip! Many options to choose from… one particular to try if you love breakfast is EggSlutt. Provocative name I know! But really good eggs. They have other locations around LA too (Venice etc.)

Entertainment & Activities
Great views, wonderful observatory to go see the stars (in the sky) with children and or astrology fans. Several scenes from LaLaLand filmed here. Great hiking trails too and if you enjoy hilly bike rides with challenging climbs – you can bike from the LA zoo parking lot up to the Griffith Park Observatory (google a few bike routes, but don’t hate me after those climbs!).
