"They have an awesome wine club, and they put out this zine every month that showcases some of the wines they bring in. They write these incredible stories on the winemakers and where their terroir is. There's a real handcrafted personal community feel to what they do."

"There's a small cinema called the New Beverly Cinema, which is owned by Quentin Tarantino. They exclusively play 35 mm films — a lot of the film prints are from his personal collection. He holds some of the only prints of certain films, which is pretty amazing."

"Next door to The Artform Studio there's a place called Gold Line Bar, an intimate, small bar owned by Peanut Butter Wolf of Stones Throw Records. He has a good portion of his record collection at the bar. There are always people there DJing, and the drinks are great."

"There's a place called The Artform Studio in Highland Park. It's a record store and barber shop owned by Adrian Younge, who's quite a prolific hip hop producer. A lot of his records are available for sale as well as stuff you can't find readily, particularly, 60s, 70s soul, and early hip hop and jazz."

"There are so many great hikes in LA, depending on the area. One of my favorites is Elysian Park, which is in the Echo Park area. It's generally not too busy and offers some really spectacular views of downtown."
