Long neglected downtown LA has come to life over the last 5 years. There are all sorts of great places to see: Clifton's Cafeteria (amazing restored interior from the 30's, 4 stories), the Last Bookstore (most interesting bookstore interior I have ever seen), Grand Central Market (tremendous variety of food, great people watching, so different from Hollywood.) Many other great places- Disney Hall, the Cathedral, the Broad Museum. Don't miss it.

A gateway in a wall off a non-descript parking area takes you into an exotic outdoor restaurant under a canopy of elegant trees. Cliff's Edge is one of the gems of Silver Lake (and there are a lot of them.) Perfect place for a special evening.
