Pier Burger

Hamburger restaurant
330 Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, CA 90401, United States
Pier Burger

"They've got a restaurant called Pier Burger on the very start of the pier, which is one of my favorite burger places in the entire city. It's one of the first burgers I had in LA. It tastes of good memories and nostalgia."

The Theme Building at LAX

Historical landmark
201 World Way, Los Angeles, CA 90045, United States
The Theme Building at LAX

"The Theme Building is this space age structure that's at LAX. It's so unique and unlike any other building in the city. It's the first thing you see when you land as well as the last thing you see when you fly home. I always get this weird, like, mix of excitement and sadness when I see it. I'm either just about to start my adventure in LA or I'm having to leave."

Cinerama Dome

Cinema
6360 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028, United States
Cinerama Dome

"The Cinerama Dome was an iconic movie theater on Sunset Boulevard. I'd been to the site so many times, just because I love the architecture. It's got the dome, a curved cinema screen, which is how projectors worked back in the day. But just another good example of modernism, which is one of my favorite styles."

Stahl House

Tourist attraction
1635 Woods Dr, West Hollywood, CA 90069, United States
Stahl House

"The Stahl House, which is nestled into the hills above LA, has incredible views of LA, the city is part of the architecture and they bleed into each other. I recently went for a sunset tour and it changed my life."

Griffith Observatory

Observatory
2800 E Observatory Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90027, United States
Griffith Observatory

"The Griffith Observatory has this incredible view of everything the city has to offer. You've got the ocean, the skyline, Hollywood. This was the building that got me into LA."
