One of my favorite breakfast spots in LA! Luckily for us, it's just a 10 minute drive from Echo Park! Must try the Crispy Rice Bowl, but don't sleep on the Famed Ricotta Toast!

Upscale Japanese but no sushi--see my other recommendation for fresh fish. Fantastic selection of sake.

My go-to spot of organic produce, juices and coffee. A little on the pricer end, but that's why this is one of LA's most premier grocers!

If you are near The Grove, in Downtown, or by the beach in Santa Monica, you MUST stop by Mendocino Farms. Freshest, California fare with an easy, fast-casual layout. Don't sleep on the Avocado Quinoa Superfood Salad or the "Not so Fried" Chicken Sandwich.

Whether you rent a swan boat or grab the picnic blanket, this is a must visit spot in the East side of LA. Unique views of LA's Downtown skyline the a palm-tree lined lake.

There are so many pockets of Elysian park! From the bungalow, take Laveta Terrace to Sunset Blvd., make a right on Sunset, left of Scott, and bear right to enter the park! This is a an easy 2 mile each way trail to follow.

This is NOT in the East side, but if you do make it more west, take a drive around the swanky neighborhood of the Bird Streets. You may come across private roads, but even the views from outside the properties are unreal!
