Food Scene
If you were ever a fan of Top Chef from the begging you'll recognize the owner and head chef Marcel! The food here is amazing and very creative. I'd go here for brunch and get the chicken and waffles or the fat stack and order a latte. This place is right down the street less than 5 minutes walking distance on Melrose.

JUST GO! The most trendy of low key burger joints in the city. They even have this thing called ketchup leather. Very tasty. A little bit more expensive than the casual burger place but Plan Check has a certain glow to it that makes it a hot spot!

Amazing Food! The owner recommendations in the menu at 1st seem a little pretentious but SHE'S RIGHT! The food is amazing. Get the crunchy french toast to share for sure. If you need good brunch go here. The wait time for a table is like 30 min or less and that's pretty good for LA brunch on the weekend. The Griddle is 2 hours. Larhcmont Bungalow is 45 mins. BLD is about 35 mins.

Kind of pricey for what they have to offer but this place is very cool and you can ALWAYS see a celebrity the last time I was there I saw Gayle King and Common. The Avocado Toast is great a little expensive but it's a good hearty dish. The pancakes are decent and it's 4 blocks walking distance.

I go here a lot and it's very nice. Get anything the food is good. Don't order the Red Velvet cake. It looks good, but it's not great. Everything else though is SUPER on point! Beautiful cafe to sit and chill!

Great dark vibe! It's mostly Italian American Food and the drinks are SO good. Make a reservation before you go as it fills up quickly and they never have a table BUT I've always sat at the bar anyway so you can do that too.

This place is very trendy but also very low key! It's one of my favorite spots and you can always spot a celebrity here. It's not pricey but it's above average in our neighborhood. Lyft here for a good time! * Don't wear shorts as with most bars in LA they have a mild dress code.

Essentials
This trader Joe's is less crowded than the other one on S. Fairfax so I'd recommend this location as it has double parking lots and also just a better energy. You can buy groceries and essentials here!

This is my Target as it's the most convenient location. From Santa Monica turn onto Formosa and park in the underground lot. The 1st hour is free. I've never had to pay because you can get in and out really easily. Great Target if you need to get anything. I have extra towels and things but if you need to stock up on some personal stuff or extras go here!

Entertainment & Activities
This place is a reserved seating very nice theater right at the grove and it's decent. The prices are the same as everywhere else in LA, but the good part is I live like 4 blocks away so you can walk here and not even pay for parking or deal with the crowds in the parking structure at the grove.
