Our Favorite Things To Do
Go Greek Yogurt
452 North Bedford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Alexa's favorite little treat in LA! She is still working on getting Jon onboard the froyo train, but even he can admit Go Greek is the best of the many frozen yogurt places he’s tried.
Urth Cafe Beverly Hills
267 South Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90212
A rec that Alexa and Jon agree on! Our regular lunch spot just a couple blocks from the Maybourne. Alexa recommends the Urth Salad and GF avocado toast and Jon says you have to try the margherita pizza and caesar salad.
Malibu Farm Pier Cafe
23000 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, CA 90265
While there is now a location in New York, eating at the Malibu Cafe in Malibu is definitely worth the trip. Great food and equally good views.
Jeff’s Gourmet
8930 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90035
Check out Jeff’s for the best kosher hotdogs and hamburgers in LA!
Runyon Canyon Hike
2000 N Fuller Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90046
Hike one of the trails at Runyon Canyon for panoramic views of the city including the Hollywood sign.
Griffith Observatory
1278 Observatory Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90027
If you want to venture a little farther from the hotel, Griffith Observatory is a great choice for incredible views of LA including the Hollywood sign. There are lots of hikes/walks in the area if you're looking to spend some time outside.
Two fun facts:
1. Alexa had never visited this tourist hotspot until Jon came to LA to visit and we went together
2. Alexa’s parents, Debbie and Scott, had their first date here!
The Maybourne Spa
225 North Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210
We recommend booking a service at The Maybourne hotel spa if you are looking to relax after the cross-country travel.
Rodeo Drive
The Maybourne hotel is in the heart of Beverly Hills, we highly recommend you take some time to walk around the neighborhood.
Santa Monica Pier
While it likely will not be beach weather in December, you can get the ocean scenery in Santa Monica. You'll find a little amusement park and indoor arcade, snacks and an aquarium. Highly recommend for kids!
Westfield Century City Mall
10250 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90067
Century City mall has everything you could need and more. With a huge food selection and what feels like a million stores, you can buy anything you may have forgotten or enjoy window shopping in an outdoor mall in the winter.
