Ever thought about taking a ride into the future? We love taking Waymos whenever we can. We are very supportive of the future of self-driving cars. Take a Waymo for a spin for a short ride just to try it out - it can fit up to 4 people per car.
Use the code DIANAAHMF for $10 off your first ride!
Grocery stores in LA are a lifestyle, not just for food. Erewhon is the LA-only chain known for their smoothies, but Diana’s favorite thing to do is browse the snacks aisle and deli with prepared foods. There is a nice outdoor seating area to hang out, chat, and enjoy the LA sunshine.
Be ready for a sticker price shock!
Eataly is another LA-lifestyle grocery store, but this time only focusing on authentic regional cuisines from across the Italy. They have cuts of unique charcuterie, handmade pasta, house-made mozzarella made fresh daily, and plenty of sweet and savory treats to bring home.

The Getty is a show-stopping museum focusing on fine art throughout the past few centuries. They have sweeping views to see the LA skyline, and has a beautiful garden. It is free to attend, as long as you have a reservation. The only payment is for parking ($25/car), so be sure to carpool!

Everyone has heard of In-N-Out, but have you heard of the secret menu? Animal Fries are Nathaniel's favorite, and The Flying Dutchman (grilled onions instead of a hamburger bun) is Diana's favorite. Great for a late night snack.
No delivery or online order, be prepared for a line. :)
Our favorite hang-out spot in LA!!! If you are spending more time in LA - this is the only beach worth visiting. Please do not visit Santa Monica or Venice, and ignore whatever the movies are selling you - Manhattan Beach is the beach you are looking for. It is impeccably clean, has a 5-mile walking and biking path, an aquarium on the pier, and plenty of food, bars, and stores that line the downtown area. Definitely worth a visit for half a day!
