An amazing old bowling alley (oldest surviving in LA, in fact!) converted into a gorgeous restaurant--with the bowling alley still operational. Exposed machinery, chandeliers made from converted pin clamps, and the best pizza this side of LA make for a great marriage of steam punk and awesome food.

These guys are walking distance, but will also do pick ups and drop offs. Cheaper than airport rental, and I've never had less than friendly service.

Arts & Culture

A world class museum with a stunning Southeast Asia section, including Buddhist and Hindu statues, tapestries, and stonework. A smattering of Renoirs, Van Goghs, and Matisses can be found here, all surrounding a picturesque sculpture garden where ducks and swans glide by the coffee shop. A hidden gem that's often neglected by the tourist maps.
