Thanks for the quick reply theluckyrabbit, It will be my wife and myself both early 60's. We will have a car. are interests are broad. We enjoying sightseeing, museum's etc. Any suggestion would be appreciated. We have visited Hollywood & Highland, walk of fame , Chinese Theater before. We enjoy any type of food budget or fine dining. I'm looking for places that are unique to the LA area. Thanks again...
Have you visited the Getty Museum? There is the Getty Museum and the Getty Villa -- both are really lovely. Both have restaurants (the museum restaurant is quite good for a museum, with a nice view of the ocean -- reservations would help there). We love dining at the Villa -- such an unusual setting, up on a hill, overlooking the ocean (Malibu). Both museums require parking reservations -- you can look on the website.
L.A. has wonderful restaurants -- if budget isn't an issue, near-ish your hotel (off the top of my head):
Animal (one of our favorites!), Jon & Vinny, Mozza (the Osteria, the Pizzeria, Chi Spacca -- take your pick!), Odys & Penelope, Bludso's BBQ
If Disney history is a key interest: Tam O'Shanter in the Los Feliz area -- Walt used to dine here regularly. Ask for his table or at least ask to see it.
Authentic ethnic food is a forte in L.A. -- from taco trucks to high end gourmet, there is so much to choose from. Have you seen the documentary "City of Gold"? Great intro to L.A. as a food city. The food writer/critic, Jonathan Gold, subject of the film, recently passed away -- our city is still in mourning.
At the Farmer's Market -- if you like Mexican food, try Loteria for Mexico City style -- delicious! (Bob's Donuts are great, too, if dessert calls!), DuPar's has great pancakes
Across the street from the Farmer's Market is Mendocino Farms -- get the pork belly bahn mi sandwich -- get it to go, then hit LACMA down on Wilshire -- enjoy your sandwich while gazing at the Urban Light installation (the streetlights seen in "La La Land")
Just a start... feel free to ask more questions!
