Mouni Reddy: Best concert venue with some amazing lineups...
Ellen DeGeneres: I love Hollywood, & I love bowls, so this is 1 of my favorite places to see a concert. Make sure to bring something to keep you warm, 'cause it gets cold! Portia brought a blanket. I brought tequila.
VH1: This is my favorite venue in the country. Be sure to bring your own food and get a seat by the soundbooth, where you can see the show, the crowd, everything! – Kelly Rowland
Brian Chernick: Amazing acoustics with no bad seat in the house. Please make it a point in your life to see at least one show here. The architecture alone is worth the visit.
HISTORY: Home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic, this 3.6-acre complex designed by architect Frank Gehry was initially funded by Lillian Disney, widow of Walt Disney
Los Angeles: Look for the "Rose for Lilly" designed by Gehry as a tribute to Lillian Disney, knowing that she loved Royal Deft porcelain. More than 200 vases and 8,000 tiles were used for the fountain.
Doug de Wet: One of the Broadway Theater District's most breathtaking venues. Beautifully restored, with great sight lines, there's not a bad seat in the house.
eric bornemann: One of the most amazing theaters in North America, built by Chaplin/Fairbanks/Pickford now an awesome venue for music and opera. Beautifully gothic and glorious.

Ricky Sherrill: Fresh juice, coffee, fresh bread & pastries, homemade jams, &must try bacon and eggs makes my list of top breakfast spots. Lunch & dinner is okay too. The move here is to go early & avoid the lines.
LAist: Noshing on the jambon buerre sandwich while sipping a coffee and reading the paper at a corner table atthe spots sun-soaked bistro area might make you feel like you're spending an afternoon in France. Read more.
LAist: Because of the quality of the breads and baked goods, we'd recommend brioche French toast, salmon tartine with avocado, and the classic croque madame are just a few of the stand outs on the menu. Read more.
Sean Kinney: Something for everyone, and. Just about every kind of food. Also there is seating upstairs if it looks full. Free parking with validation for 2 hrs.
The Most Interesting Man in the World: I prefer picking an exotic piece of fruit myself, however dangerous the circumstances, but the quality and selection of tastes here might be worth risking your life for as well, should it be crowded.
Bravo: A small glimpse into Old Hollywood with produce stands and lots of really good food stalls. -Danielle Keene, Top Chef Just Desserts

Doug de Wet: Amazing agnolotti: Agnolotti alla Vaccinara, made with cacao pasta, are melt in your mouth, tender, sweet, savory, comforting tummy smiles on a plate.
Eater: There's heavy emphasis on house-cured meats, pizzas, and pastas, with unexpected and inspired flavors. The beverage program here, from cocktails to wine, is a hit, too. [Eater 38 Member]
Melissa Richardson Banks aka Downtown Muse: Tartufo black truffle pizza and Cavatelli alla Norcina pasta (ricotta dumplings, more black truffles!) are THE best! Start with chicken liver crostino. For dessert? Try the chocolate tart!

Mediterranean Restaurant · Arts District · 42 tips and reviews
Tabi Yoo: A really beautiful + huge space serving delicious, authentic food. Favorites include: the baba ghanoush w fried pita, tomato & plum salad, grilled prawns, & the vanilla date crème brûlée for dessert!
Marcelo Garcia: Overrated. Had the lamb, the mushrooms, the scallops, and the babaganoush which was by far the best thing but then again you can make it at home or just get it at any middle eastern cafe.
Michael Alderete: Lamb shawarma was amazing. Grilled prawns were sublime. Both desserts were excellent, with unusual, contrasting flavors.
