Los Angeles | LA Five-Day Four-Night Travel Guide

LA downtown is full of homeless people, making it the most dangerous place I've been to so far, but it's very close to Little Tokyo, which makes dining very convenient. If you're staying in downtown, be mentally prepared.😢 1️⃣day1 Arrival Day 📍Luv2eat Thai Bistro (jade noodle | tom yum soup | raw crab salad) p2 Although it's a Michelin-rated place, it wasn't as delicious as I imagined. The prices are reasonable. We went at noon and it wasn't very crowded. No reservations. 🚶🏻‍♀️12min 📍TCL Chinese Theater | Walk of Fame | Hollywood p3 The Walk of Fame area is also quite chaotic and heavily commercialized. The attractions are rather boring. 🚗20min 📍Griffith Observatory p4-7 Definitely worth a visit. You can see the Hollywood sign. I recommend coming on a clear day to watch the sunset. You can arrive 2 hours before sunset to visit the observatory. 2️⃣day2 📍République (Basque | mushroom toast | potato pancake | matcha raspberry) p8-9 A very popular brunch spot. We went at 11:30 and waited for about half an hour. It's a renovation of Charlie Chaplin's office. The ambiance is great. The savory dishes are tastier, and the Basque cake is exceptional. 🚶🏻‍♀️13min 📍The Grove Shopping p10-11 The Christmas decorations are beautiful. There's a free trolley and artificial snowfall in the evening, great for photos. 🍽️% ARABICA (Spanish latte) p12 | Pampas Grill Churrascaria Brazilian BBQ p13 The Brazilian BBQ has a long queue. It's sold by weight and is located next to The Grove in the market. You can take the free trolley back and forth. 3️⃣ day3 📍Little Tokyo 📍The board p14 The free infinity mirror room needs to be booked in advance. There are quite a few works by Yayoi Kusama. 📍Disney Concert Hall p15 Free and right next to the art museum. There's a small garden on the top floor. 🚶🏻‍♀️6min 📍Angels Flight Railway p16 One dollar per ride. You can take it from the top down to the market. 📍Grand Central Market 🍽️Eggslut | Villa Morelian Eggslut was closed when we got there. Remember to check the times. 📍Torigoya (10 skewers course | Octopus in wasabi) p17-18 It opens at 6 pm and you might be able to walk in before 7 pm. It's still best to call ahead for reservations. It's also in Little Tokyo.
