Chandelier TreeSeveral years ago, LA artist Adam Tenenbaum was given several large vintage chandeliers. He decided the best thing to do was to hang them from the big tree in his front yard, and the Chandelier Tree was born. |
AKBARThis neighborhood bar has been around for over 20 years, and remains popular for good reason. Come join the locals to drink, dance, make art, and enjoy DJ sets and live performances every week. |

Dinosaur CoffeeYeah, this place is kind of weird. They have no phone number, and only serve food certain days of the week. But despite the silly name, they take coffee really seriously. Their tea blends are great, too. |
Bar AngelesFans of Elliot Smith song will either love this place, or hate the fact that the owner knocked down part of the mural featured on the cover art for Smith’s 2000 album Figure 8. Oh, and they serve alcohol. (It’s a bar.) |

Go Sleep
Sanborn Guest HouseThis tiny establishment offers only 2 units: one room and one suite, each with a private entrance. And for the area, it’s surprisingly affordable. |
Hotel Silver LakeThis may be a typical hotel, complete with complimentary continental breakfast stuff, but they do allow dogs (with $35 deposit), and the location is great. |
Los Angeles Hollywood ApartmentsDespite the name, it is a hotel. There's a shared kitchen, and it's within walking distance to the Wiltern Theater in Koreatown. |
