Day 1 - Los Angeles

Start your trip with a stay at Farmer's Daughter Hotel. This hotel, located in the Fairfax district, is a quaint, charming yet surprisingly hip boutique hotel located within walking distance of the Farmer's Market and The Grove. Take a drive out to Hollywood and Silver Lake to experience some of the rogue flavor of this Bohemian side of town. Griffith Observatory will take you back to the Los Angeles of the 1920s and has been featured in countless films. Grab a bit at El Cid for some authentic Spanish food. Next visit some of your favorite celebrities in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. During the summer weekends, you can view classic movies here. Grab some upscale Mexican food at Malo and unwind.
