"Jeff Klein's Insider's Guide to Los Angeles's Best Museums, Restaurants, and Attractions\nThe Sunset Tower hotelier shares his favorite spots, both well known and under the radar, in the City of Angels\n\"It's an intimate, really well curated museum with a cool courtyard restaurant, Ammo at the Hammer. It makes a fun day, and the size isn't overwhelming.\"\n\n10899 Wilshire Boulevard; hammer.ucla.edu\n\"The Sunset Tower is a small hotel with a huge personality. It's the kind of place where the staff remembers your name and your favorite drink. We lovingly restored a 1929 Art Deco building in a modern way while staying true to the original architecture. It's a very special place.\"\n\n8358 Sunset Boulevard; sunsettowerhotel.com\n\"I love the Ivy. When I was a New Yorker, I went there and thought it was the best. I still love going now that I live here. Plus, the red velvet cake is slap-your-mama good.\"*\n\n 113 North Robertson Boulevard; theivyrestaurants.com*\n\n\u00A0\n\n\"Madeo is not the most beautiful spot, but it has the best Italian food in L.A. My absolute favorite is the Penne Madeo.\"*\n\n 8897 Beverly Boulevard; madeoristorante.com*\n\n\u00A0\n\nPictured here is The Ivy.\n\"Franklin Canyon is five minutes away from Rodeo Drive, but you feel like you're in the country, complete with a duck pond\u2014and rattlesnakes. It's a very peaceful spot with lots of different hikes and great views.\"\n\"They only do omakase\u2014no Americanized sushi like spicy tuna or California rolls. And they take it seriously. The restaurant may be on the second floor of a strip mall, but it's the best sushi I've ever had, even in Japan.\"*\n\n 8539 Sunset Boulevard; 310-652-0523*\n\n\"Il Piccolino is really fabulous and very old-school. It's run by two guys, chef Silvio De Mori and Eddie Kerkhofs, who are both really sweet. The strozzapreti (spinach and ricotta pasta) is life changing.\"*\n\n 350 North Robertson Boulevard; ilpiccolinorestaurant.com*\n\nPictured here is sushi from Sushi Park.\n\"LACMA has the most incredible exhibitions and a fabulous permanent collection. It's one of the best museums in America. You can't do it all in a day\u2014you have to pace yourself. LACMA also has good restaurants, including Ray's and Stark Bar.\"\n\n5905 Wilshire Boulevard; lacma.org\n\"I always recommend this quirky little gallery when people are looking for art. It's everything you want a gallery to be. Honor works hard at identifying new artists, and she finds very interesting things. You'll also find established artists, such as Kenny Scharf and KAWS, exhibiting there.\"\n\n2622 South La Cienega Boulevard; honorfraser.com\n\"The Tower Bar has a feeling of old-Hollywood glamour. We have a pianist and bassist every night and the walnut-paneled walls inlaid with brass. I recommend the Tower Smash cocktail (Tequila, fresh basil, hand-squeezed lemon, and a touch of fresh ginger on the rocks)\u2014it's delicious.\"\n\n8358 Sunset Boulevard; sunsettowerhotel.com/restaurants-and-bar/tower-bar"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
