Best Ramen in this part of town hands down. Be prepared for long waits at peak hours, but you can call ahead for take out. Also try the pork buns.

The hippest brunch spot in this part of town. There's always a line on weekends. FYI: No reservations for brunch (they do take them for other meals) so make sure you prepare for a wait.

Good food, nice atmosphere, they move the line through quickly so the wait isn't as bad as it can be for Home.

This is the good Chinese Restaurant in the neighborhood. A little bit upscale so doesn't have 100% of the staples, but good. Not to be confused w the similarly named one further north on Hillhurst.

Arts & Culture

Free planetarium. Great for families. Tremendous view of the whole city. Iconic location from Rebel Without a Cause. Parking up there is crazy (and paid), so the best option is to catch the bus from Hillhurst that will take you straight there. Also a great place to start hikes. For DASH route info, look here: https://www.ladottransit.com/dash/routes/obs_lf/obs_lf.html

It's no San Diego Zoo, but it definitely steadily improving. Kids love the carousel. New Rain Forest exhibit. In winter there are also zoo lights at night, which are very fun. 15 Minute drive from here either through Griffith Park or via the highway.
