Lifestyle

Take a morning walk on the Fern Dell trail, then reward yourself with a latte and a homemade scone or the famous chickpea salad sandwich at The Trails café. Hit the links at the Roosevelt Golf Course or get in a game of tennis at the Vermont Canyon Courts, then head to brunch with cocktails on the patio at Alcove or Home Restaurant, where you’ll overhear a conversation about someone’s next screenplay.

Browse the vintage shops on Vermont Avenue for unique home décor, designer clothing, and gifts, then take in a matinee of a new movie at the Los Feliz Theatre.

Stop by Atrium for a happy hour of oysters and inventive cocktails on its stunning, soaring, courtyard surrounding a huge live tree. Next door at Skylight Books, browse the selection or take in a book reading and signing by a local writer or world-famous author.

Neighborhood dinner options include old-world Italian at Little Dom’s, vegan Thai at Green Leaves, sushi, and sake at Yen, or steak and calamari at The Dresden, featured in movies like Swingers for its Old Hollywood round tables and plush banquettes. For a fun night out, check out the vast selection of tropical drinks at the very popular Tiki-Ti Cocktail Lounge, or have a glass of wine at the more intimate Covell, which even has a Speakeasy for private parties! Who knows who you’ll run into…
