Griffith Park & Observatory Evening

Start with Italian-American comfort food in Los Feliz. Red sauce classics, killer meatballs, and one of the cosiest dining rooms in LA.

5 min drive. Shaded creekside walk through Griffith Park — ferns, bridges, and a gentle uphill to warm up for the observatory.

15 min walk uphill. Free admission. Telescopes, planetarium shows ($7), and the most iconic views of LA and the Hollywood sign. Go at sunset.

10 min drive back. Old Hollywood lounge famous from Swingers. Marty & Elayne play jazz standards every night. Order a Blood & Sand.
