If every coffee spot had an interior this swoon worthy, we'd be slightly overwhelmed. Thankfully, not many places boast such a picture-perfect aesthetic AND also serve up that stellar oat flat white as good as MODU. Swing by for your brew of choice and don't leave before tucking into that black sesame mochi cake bar. 

Though you must hop on down on a Sunday and Monday for BG NITES (where beer and wine flows, live jazz plays, and terrific food is served), Bub and Grandma's is most renowned for it's sweet treats, toasts and killer sandwiches.

A sandwich isn't always just a sandwich. Showing that the sandwich can indeed be the main event is Wax Paper where the likes of braised carrots, whipped herb feta, pecan pesto and frisée or shredded chicken with a garam masala slaw, yogurt raita, and ginger chutney are stuffed into crispy ciabattas. A lunch made for champions. 

Though you may not at first think you can find a Rembrandt, a Degas, or a Picasso (to name only a few) along a LA boulevard consider yourself mistaken. For the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena is home to  one of the world's most remarkable private collections of old master paintings.
