3 Break bread at The Feast of San Gennaro
The Feast of San Gennaro is an annual festival devoted to Italian and Italian American food and culture. The festival is located in the streets of Hollywood at Hollywood and Highland Blvds on September 26th though the 28th. It showcases food from local restaurants, offers rides, a free ‘Kidz Korner’ and nightly music.
4 See Los Angeles from the sky
Call us at LAdventure Tour (Local: (323) 485-2025 Toll Free: (844) 528-6877) to plan your tour of Los Angeles from up above in a Piper or Beechcraft airplane with our friends at Skyward Aviation. We’ll take you to the Santa Monica Airport and from there you can get up in the air for 30 minutes, flying over the pristine Southern California beaches and Malibu, see the Hollywood Hills, get a nice view over Dodger Stadium and downtown Los Angeles before making a final run over Beverly Hills and then back to Santa Monica. We’ll be waiting for you on the ground when you return.
5 Wise up at the Griffith Observatory
You could happily spend a few hours browsing around the Griffith Observatory. There’s the popular Hall of the Sky and Hall of the Eye, a pair of complementary displays that explores the connections between people and space. Griffith Observatory’s renovated and newly-named Samuel Oschin Planetarium has been completely re-invented, from the compass rose on the new cork floor to the premium seamless perforated aluminum dome. Visitors to the 300-seat Samuel Oschin Planetarium will have an experience light-years ahead of most planetarium shows. From the moment they pass through the historic bronze and leather doors, they will be in an immersive environment carefully designed to create an authentic night sky and to present high quality experiences that are awe-inspiring and thought provoking. The star attraction is the building itself, which was featured in the film Rebel Without a Cause.
6 Get active on Venice Beach
Venice Beach has long been known as the kooky Mecca of California, and while it’s been getting more than a fair share of mainstream tourists, the area nurtures its eccentric spirit. Skateboarders, radical pamphleteers and body builders: the visibility is great if you enjoy people-watching. Go for lunch at the local Figtree’s Café before browsing the shelves at Small World Books. While the bohemian district offers local artistic efforts and lots of trinket/ souvenir shopping at the outdoor market, don’t forget to make your way down the sand to dip you toes in the lovely Pacific Ocean. The boardwalk will take you all of the way to the neighboring Santa Monica Pier.
7 Hotfoot it to Hollywood sights
Hollywood celebrities are never far away in LA. To catch a glimpse of stardust, stroll the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where more than 2,400 figures from the entertainment world are immortalized in pink terrazzo with symbolic gold lettering. If you’re a film buff, put your hands and feet into the famous hand and footprints at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Countless premieres and galas have passed through, adding to the renowned pagoda’s star quality.
8 Marvel at the Getty collection of art
The Getty Center is the envy of museums worldwide for its generous endowments. Although it doesn’t match the rich collections of Old World galleries, it has some impressive works covering a vast sweep of history, from the Renaissance to present day. Among them are several paintings by Rubens, a couple by Gainsborough, and a sprinkling of Impressionists, including Monet, Renoir, Cézanne and Van Gogh. The French decorative arts and an expanding photography collection are definitely worth visiting. And don’t forget to hunt out Miró and Moore in the fine sculpture garden.
If you want to combine you museum trip with the beach, then The Getty Villa is the place for you! Located on scenic Pacific Coast Highway, the Villa has limited parking and requires a reservation. Please reserve your parking ticket in advance.
9 Shop in style on Rodeo Drive
Many people dream of being Julia Roberts shopping on Rodeo Drive, but few can afford to buy from the array of high-end designers seen in the film Pretty Woman. Window-shopping and wishful spending is the order of the day. Along the $200-million ersatz European cobbled walkway Two Rodeo, browsing tourists mingle with serious spenders. A hop away is Anderson Court, which is the only shopping mall designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
10 Squeeze in the Jurassic experience
Despite the misleading name, this scientific nook has nothing to do with Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. The Museum of Jurassic Technology is home to a repository of curiosities: scientific wonders include a bat that can fly through walls and artistic miracles such as impossibly tiny sculptures. The institute is an intriguing combination of fact and fiction, and much more exciting than chasing CGI dinosaurs.
