Los Angeles, CA is our chosen home & it's where we spend most of our time. Most people just think of it as Hollywood, but there is so much more to this wonderful city than that! Adam has lived here for 15+ years & Phoebe for 11+ years, so we know the city well & we're so happy to share our love for it with you!

Uovo Italian Restaurant

This local Italian restaurant chain serves fresh pasta handmade in Italy that’s overnight shipped to Los Angeles, which sounds like it’s way more expensive than it actually is. Beware though: they do not take reservations, so you may have to wait a while to get in.

Homebound Brew Haus
Brewery at LA Union Station

Even most locals don’t know that there’s a brewery hidden inside LA Union Station, with art deco architecture, craft beer in huge steins, and tabletop games. The Dodger Stadium Express picks up right outside, so it’s a haven for Dodgers fans before and after the game.

Coast Starlight Amtrak Train

If you’re traveling to Los Angeles from anywhere along the west coast north of the city, this train ride is a super scenic way to get into the heart of the city, going through wine country and riding along the beach for miles (and it will probably be cheaper than flying too). The best parts besides the beautiful views: free luggage and you can drink on the train too!
