Ok. First off... this place is loud. Intentionally loud. If you go on Sunday morning you can avoid that and have a great brunch. But, if you can weather the noise and focus on the liveliness... they have great pizza and a solid menu. The bakery is just beautiful, famous for their macaroons.

Shopping

This is more relevant if you'e cooking and we don't have a kitchen. But, they have a few things that are worth checking out. Great breads... smoked whitefish and lox. They also have some very expensive, too expensive, ice cream. Maybe it's worth it? But... the one thing worth going for is the "Not Nutter Butter" cookie. It's a steal. The price is fantastic and it'll be one of the best cookies you've ever had.

Parks & Nature

Airbnb shows the #1 attraction is Runyon Canyon. Let everyone else go there! This blows it away. Trees, flowers galore... there are a few different hiking trails and dozens upon dozens of different parks. Also, tennis, basketball and frisbee golf! The park is surrounding Dodger Stadium. To get there is a short drive up the hill or a 10 minute walk.

This is a great spot for a leisurely walk around the lake. Or, take a paddle boat ride. There's a coffee shop that actually has good coffee. There's plenty of green space if you want to do a picnic. It's about a mile from our place. Just walk down Echo Park Avenue, cross Sunset, and it's another block ahead on the right. You may recognize the scenery... it's used in dozens of TV shows, commercials and movies. It's an iconic spot with killer views of downtown L.A.
