I love my culture so it is only fair I share one of my favorite Ethiopian restaurants. You must try the chicken awaze tibs and the veggie combo. The chicken is spicy and the veggie is flavorful. You will not be dissapointed.

This is a historical landmark but I highly recommend visiting. It has been in operation since 1917. The venue features high ceilings and an open layout, with food vendor stalls offering different cuisines that represent cultures from the Los Angeles area and beyond.

A very popular shopping destination that has an eclectic vibe. This open-air shopping mall is filled with major chain stores, as well as more unique boutiques. You'll also find that outdoor dining options – many of which use local ingredients – are plentiful. And if you're in the mood to cook your own meal, you can find fresh produce at the farmers market every Wednesday and Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. But the main draw for many recent travelers is the unexpected extras like the sculptured shrubs and talented street performers.

I enjoy walking along the walkway and enjoy the beautiful views of Santa Monica Bay. Many families and friend usually have picnic out in the grass area as the sun sets.

Sitting south of West Hollywood is one of LA's most beloved landmarks: The Original Farmers Market which was founded in 1934. You can find fresh produce and the aroma of ready-to-eat snacks. You can visit throughout the week, although hours vary depending on the day. Entry is free, but you'll want to have some cash on hand should any of the treats whet your appetite. You can park for free for up to 90 minutes at the market's two lots, provided that your ticket is validated at the market.

Griffith Observatory sits on the south face of Mount Hollywood and overlooks the Los Angeles basin. Its location gives visitors impressive views of the surrounding area, which many rave about. But there's more than just a pretty photo-op here. The observatory hosts fascinating exhibitions and features a top-notch planetarium. Though the entry is free, you will have to pay between $3 and $7 to see the planetarium shows. Griffith Observatory is open from noon to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, with extended hours on weekends

The Getty Center is one of the most impressive architectural achievements in the United States – and it also contains some of the finest works of art in the world. I highly recommend taking a guided tour.

Venice Beach is modeled – canals and all – after its namesake city in Italy. It may not live up to its Italian inspiration, but the neighborhood has become distinctly Californian, embodying the spirit of the wealthy, the alternative and the just plain bizarre. You'll find canal-side mansions near funky boutiques and restaurants.
