  • Morning

    Start your day at Wilshire Boulevard’s “Museum Row” to catch the latest headline exhibit at LACMA or selections from its superb permanent collection. Don’t miss the beautiful Pavilion for Japanese Art. If you can muster the energy before lunch, head for the Petersen Automotive Museum or the Page Museum.

    Leaving Museum Row, drive a few blocks north to the Farmers Market. Try the Cajun food at Gumbo Pot, the all-American menu at the retro Kokomo, or the Du-par’s diner fare.

    Afternoon

    For an afternoon of shopping, start with the Farmers Market itself, then wander over to The Grove, a new outdoor mall. Head north on Fairfax Avenue, turning right on Melrose Avenue. This quintessential LA shopping street is packed with fun and funky stores and offers great people-watching opportunities, especially on weekends.

    Head for an early dinner at Campanile , where you’ll be treated to innovative California cuisine, then drive to Sunset Strip for an evening of laughs at the Comedy Store or The Laugh Factory . Make your reservations in advance. Showtime is usually 8pm. Round off your day with a drink at Bar Marmont or the lounge at the chic The Standard Hollywood .
