Seeing the sunset at the Griffith Observatory

Hi Spencer!

That's a lofty question!

For specific food items, peruse Jonathan Gold's "99 Things to Eat in L.A. Before you Die" article. His last edition was written five years ago, but since so many classic SoCal restaurants are featured, many are still open and still serving. For example: Langer's Hot Pastrami; Kogi's Kalbi Taco; and Ivy's Corn Chowder (I'd recommend their chili too!).

I'd also add: Get scrubbed silly at a Korean spa.

Cheers,

Lanee
