This place gets really busy but if you can make it a little before the crowd (8) or a little after (9) you should be able to get seated pretty quick. Taiwanese fresh food that's delicious.

Parks & Nature
Observatoř Griffith
2800 E Observatory RdGreat place to see the Hollywood sign and go for a hike.
The trail around the reservoir is 2.2 miles so it's a nice way to get some exercise and be outdoors. There's also a grassy meadow where you can take a book and blanket to spend the afternoon reading.

Nice park and grassy knoll to watch the sunset. Take a bottle of wine and a book and a blanket to lounge on and go to the top of the hill. They offer art classes and sometimes have events. Also every Wednesday they have a farmer's market.

Shopping
If you're looking for local shopping you can start by a coffee at Intelligencia and crossing the street to visit the Mohawk General Store. It's a curated shop with everything from selected clothing, sunglasses to lighting. They have a specific taste for objects and might be a bit pricey but it's a good place to start if you're looking for something to buy from a local shop or want to spend the afternoon window shopping. From there you can head east on Sunset and check out the rest of the hipster shops that often sell work on consignment from artists working in print, textile, fashion, ceramics...etc.
