(323) 663-3603 The coolest place—it hosts bands but also serves as a community center. I recently took my daughters to a "kids' disco." They started out as wallflowers but by the end were winning prizes for stuff like "best atomic dog dance."

(323) 871-2102 This old-school food stand in Griffi th Park was recently reopened after being shut down for shady business dealings. A music producer and a TV producer turned it into a mostly vegan spot, with delicious homemade pies. I love that these guys cared enough to preserve this historic piece of L.A. infrastructure.
