My absolute favorite go to for a beautiful walk in the park. Have great conversation while looking at the beautiful botanical gardens or spend time in the Chinese tea gardens. It’s all really breathtaking.

If you love peacocks, this is definitely the place to be! But who remembers Fantasy Island? Did you know the house on the water where the plane landed was filmed at the LA Arboretum? So fun to see it in person!

Such a quiet tucked away gem for a jaunt in beautiful gardens with a friend. I’ve even done a simple photo shoot with a client who wanted the greenery around her.
The Descanso Gardens

If you’re looking for healthy, you’re in the wrong spot. But if you want some traditional comfort food and a bit of nostalgia, please go to Pie n Burger. It’s been around for ages! And who has so many traditional pies any day of the year?

I’ve taken my puppy here several times and we ALWAYS have a great time. They have small dogs and big dogs separated. The parking lot is small so avoid the busy times!
