Are Billie Eilish fans here??
Look: Cena Vegan is one of LA’s established plant-based taco vendors, serving up seitan-based “meats” like pollo asado, carne asada, and al pastor, all marinated with family recipes for a smoky flavor. Alongside their tasty tacos topped with guacamole and salsa, they offer giant tortas and nacho boats smothered in chipotle cashew cheese, a must-try for taco lovers and Billie Eilish fans!

Billie Eilish’s Favorite Restaurant in Los Angeles

The Grain Café is a peaceful spot featuring an eclectic menu of vegan, natural, and organic options, including sandwiches, pizzas, and more. With delicious offerings like sandwiches, salads, and calzones, you have to try the huevos con chorizo breakfast to see why it’s a local favorite (and a hit with Billie too!). Oh, and don’t miss the crepas and chilaquiles for the complete dining experience!

Old Towne Orange

Easily Orange County’s most charming downtown, Old Towne Orange sports a few blocks of Mission and Classical Revival buildings centered around Plaza Park, a tree-filled island at the center of a traffic circle. You’re always within stumbling distance of a gastropub or a breakfast spot here, like the Filling Station Cafe, a cozy diner with nods towards its origin as an old gas station.

The main draw, though—assuming you’re into such things—just might be the dozen or so antique stores along Glassell Street, including the Orange Circle Antique Mall, a jam-packed indoor market (open daily) with more than 125 small vendors.

Elsewhere in town, you can see local works of 20th-century painting at the Hilbert Museum of California Art. And for any Huell Howser fans, you can find a piece of California’s gold at the Chapman University campus, which houses the late travel show host’s archives (accessible on weekdays only). If you don’t feel like driving down the 5, just take Metrolink to the Orange stop on the west side of town.

Eyes on the Road: Art of the Automotive Landscape

In the early 20th century, automotive designs and highway systems reached a level of standardization that most drivers take for granted these days. In this exhibition, The Petersen Museum presents a collection of oft-overlooked automobiles designed by visual artists. These weird and wonderful designs include the spaceship-like 1955 Chrysler Ghia Gilda; the three-wheeled 1933 Dymaxion, which looks like a submarine; and the 1956 American Motors Astra-Gnome with a cartoonish clear bubble body.

Have a martini at Musso & Frank

Cinephiles, this one’s for you. Pretend it’s the 1920s and take your date out for a romantic night of Old Hollywood charm at the legendary Musso & Frank. Known as the oldest restaurant in Hollywood and often referred to as the “genesis of Hollywood,” this iconic steakhouse in LA, feels like you’ve stepped back into a bygone era.

The restaurant was known as the go-to spot for the Hollywood elite, even boasting a secret back room for industry insiders. It’s been memorialized in countless films, most notably Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Cozy up in one of the old-school wooden booths and order their world-famous martini for a night to remember.

This basement-level piano bar is subtly marked by a small arrow-shaped light at its entrance. 

While lacking a traditional stage, the setting boasts a fairly grand ambiance, featuring a curving wood bar, a 7-foot grand piano, and a charmingly kitschy old oil painting portraying a reclining blond burlesque dancer. The menu offers indulgence with its selection of cocktails. Despite its subterranean setting, the venue’s wooden floors and high ceilings create an atmosphere that easily transports guests away from the basement vibe.
