My favorite places in LA:
Getty Center - awesome free museum and park overlooking the city that pretty much feels like the height of civilization.
Silver Lake - a bit of a hipster neighbourhood, but pretty cool shops and a completely different feel from Venice Beach and Santa Monica; if you like comic books, Secret Headquarters is pretty much the coolest comic book store ever.
The LA Farmer's Market - not the new shopping monstrosity, but the original, stall based one. Best churrasco grill I've ever had is there.
Museum of Jurassic Technologies in Culver City - this is an odd one. Not for everyone, but one of my favorite little places anywhere. Really cool museum of curiosities such as portraits of dogs of the russian space program and dioramas of LA area trailer parks.
