An amazing old bowling alley (oldest surviving in LA, in fact!) converted into a gorgeous restaurant--with the bowling alley still operational. Exposed machinery, chandeliers made from converted pin clamps, and the best pizza this side of LA make for a great marriage of steam punk and awesome food.

Arts & Culture

A world class museum with a stunning Southeast Asia section, including Buddhist and Hindu statues, tapestries, and stonework. A smattering of Renoirs, Van Goghs, and Matisses can be found here, all surrounding a picturesque sculpture garden where ducks and swans glide by the coffee shop. A hidden gem that's often neglected by the tourist maps.
