Visited Infinity Mirror Room and let me just say... yes, it's stunning. The lights, reflections,…read morethe whole illusion makes you feel like you stepped into another dimension. No complaints about the actual experience itself, it's beautiful and definitely Instagram-worthy. BUT. That wait vs. payoff ratio? Wild. You're standing there forever, building up the moment, just to get ushered in and out in what feels like 60 seconds flat. By the time you're adjusting your camera and telling your family where to stand, it's already "okay time's up." Like... we just got here?? Honestly, I'd rather they charge more and give people a few extra minutes. Let us actually take it in, enjoy it, and get decent photos without feeling rushed like we're on some kind of aesthetic speed run. That said, it is a must-see at least once. Just go in knowing it's more of a quick visual experience than something you can really sit with.

On Friday afternoon, my family and I reserved tickets for the Infinity Room next to The Broad…read moremuseum in Downtown LA. Just a heads up, you'll need to book in advance if you want to secure a time slot to see the infinity room. We picked the 3:45 PM slot and waited about 5-10 minutes before entering. There's no food, drinks, or flash photography allowed (which makes sense). To be honest, I was a little surprised by how small the Infinity Room actually is. It's just a tiny platform you stand on surrounded by mirrors so be careful not to get too close to the edges. I think the photos online made it seem much bigger and more "galaxy-like," so I had different expectations going in You're only inside for about five minutes before it's time to exit for the next group. Still, it was a cool experience to check off the list and afterward we walked around The Broad, which made it a fun afternoon overall. I'm very grateful for the memories my family and I got to make together! Quick Note: If you get hungry, Grand Central Market is close by and has a great variety of food spots to choose from! Your welcome!!

I recently discovered Barnsdall Art Park and wow... what a hidden gem tucked right into the heart…read moreof Hollywood! I originally came here for a sound bath class (which I couldn't end up finding ), but honestly, I'm so glad I got a little lost because it led me to this beautiful space. The views alone are worth the visit--perfect for catching a peaceful sunset over the city. This is now officially one of my go-to spots for a relaxing day. Whether you want to lay out a blanket for a cute picnic, bring a book and unwind, or gather a few friends to just chill and vibe, this park sets the tone. It's calm, scenic, and has such a refreshing energy. Bonus: you're surrounded by so many great restaurants nearby, so you can easily turn your visit into a full day experience. If you're looking for a low-key, aesthetic spot in LA that feels like a little escape without leaving the city--this is it.

This is a relatively small park, but what it lacks in size it makes up for with amazing views of…read morethe Hollywood sign, the Griffith Observatory, and the general palm tree swept landscape of L.A. It's also where you can see Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in person in the Hollyhock House. The house is very angular, but I can see in the almost sand sculpture-like stone carvings the abstract interpretations of the flower. That being said, I wish there were more hollyhocks on the property or maybe they just weren't in bloom. You're free to take all the photos you want outside, but leading into the house I saw a sign saying "No entry without a ticket beyond this point" as well as an image of a camera with a slash across it. Ironically, though, I've seen people post photos of the interior, so I don't know what the deal is with that. Also, it's supposedly closed on Sunday, but I came on a Sunday and the door was open and people were taking a tour. While looking at Google Maps, I saw that there's another Frank Lloyd Wright building they're working on called Residence A, but as of right now I don't think it's open to the public yet. Since looking at the outside of the Hollyhock House and the sweeping views is relatively quick, you can kill more time looking at the art buildings also on the property. I came when the art gallery was closed, but if you go to the Barnsdall Junior Arts Center, you can see murals and sculptures outside. And I don't know if the stone carvings are original or just recreated to match the Frank Lloyd Wright house, but I saw near the restrooms of the Arts Center stone carvings that you can actually get up close to. I looked up who Barnsdall was and she was an oil baron heiress who hired Frank Lloyd Wright to build the house and then she donated it and the land to the city to be an arts center. She also dedicated it to her father. As for parking, there's 3 areas: The bottom level where you'll have to take the stairs to get up to the main area, but if you drive up further onto Upper Road (turn right at the fork) you can park right up front where the views are, or you can turn left at the fork onto Lower Road and try to find parking by the Arts Center, but there will be signs saying certain areas are reserved for students and staff. I came when classes weren't in session, so I was ok, but even then I still tried to keep my distance from those reserved signs just in case, especially since there's security prowling the grounds. If you're a tourist, I can see the appeal of this place since you can check off a bunch of sites in one go. I live in L.A. and even though I've been here already a few times, at the very least the views don't fail to impress.

It makes it so much easier when you don't want to commit to just one type of food. I walked around for a bit before deciding what to get, and everything looked fresh and tempting. It's the kind of place where you can try something new every time you come back. Also great if you're with friends and everyone has different cravings. The overall vibe is lively but still comfortable, not too chaotic. It felt easy to just grab food and sit down without any stress. I'd definitely come back here when I want variety and a casual food experience without overthinking it.

I was staying in DTLA and decided to hop over here to grab breakfast at Eggslut. I like the idea of…read morethe market. Lot of vendors that have a history with the greater LA area, so it avoids the gradual rise of gentrification which can occur with most food halls and markets in the U.S. I like the open air concept where you can just chill inside or outside and enjoy some good food or brews. You could easily hang out here for several hours, but I had a busy day so that couldn't happen for me. Because I was walking distance, it was a must visit. Not sure if I'd drive into here, but do visit if you can get there via public transport.

The canyon roads (especially Laurel Canyon and Mulholland Drive) are your windy adventure, in, through, and out of the hills not to mention the 101 Hollywood Fwy. Enjoy Runyan Canyon trails, Fryman Canyon Park, Vine Stairs, and/or Bronson Caves. Bask at the Hollywood Reservoir, see a show at the Hollywood Bowl or The Ford, and stay at the BLVD Hotel. Have some Italian-style cuisine at Pace. Sip a craft wine or brew at Beachwood Cafe or a caffeine cup at The Trails cafe. The Hollywood Heritage Museum off Highland is history personified as are major historical landmarks such as the Cross and Sign themselves. Whether a local, passing through, or on vaycay... The hills of Hollywood have a lot to offer.

I NEED EVERYONE'S HELP!…read more FRIDAY I got married! It was awesome and our day was going perfect. We took a bunch of photos just as anyone would and at the end of the day we took the drone out for a few more photos... One way or another we lost signal and the drone went down close to the Hollywood sign. We immediately ran up the trail to get the drone, Julia, was right behind me, and even though I told her to stay, she said no way. Her reply was that she made a vow to stand by me and she would follow me anywhere. (What could I say!?). So, white dress and high heels, we started up to the top. We searched with what little time we had left but unfortunately came up empty-handed and had to start back down the trail. Now we are All covered in dirt and stains from the track, Julia has her shoes off because there is no way to make a hike in high heels. We actually enjoyed just being together and having fun in the moment - even though she was in pain from no shoes. lol - I was proud she was being a trooper, but mostly happy that I married a really down to earth woman. When we got down to the bottom of the trail we realized that all of our photos from the wedding and the day were on that drone on a mini SD card. So we have come back and searched and searched and found nothing. I know somebody didn't get it because it's in an area with not much foot traffic and I have been right there since it went down. I ask that people share this and do what they can to help. All I really want is the SD card back with the photos, if anyone is willing to help me find it please contact me and I will send you the last known coordinates that I have of its location they are not exact but with a few more people I know we could find it. Thanks so much, Corey - 909-492-0456

Kids love it and it is fun for the whole family. Parking is for a fee. It is just fun. All of the eateries are great, are favorite being La Luz Dia. It is not the oldest restaurant there, but it is great. The shops are fun and have cool gifts from Mexico. This is an historic district and should remind you of when all of California was part of Mexico. It is safe and you will have a great time. Have fun. Any place you choose to eat will be good. They have fine dinning and street tacos. Most of the places serve alcohol.

One had a great Taco Tuesday special. The people working in this area are friendly. They are not pushy trying to sell goods. I enjoyed my walk through here but it is a little small. I would have liked to see even more stores. I did hear it is a great place to be on the weekends with lots of singing and dancing. I would recommend going on one of those days for an elevated experience.
