Where to stay in Los Angeles: The best neighborhoods to base your visit in
Bordered by Griffith Park to the north, Los Feliz is situated along a cozy, evergreen-lined hillside with its own unique charm. Back down towards the flats, the eateries and shops that run along both Hillhurst and Vermont Avenues have a more casual and comfortable feel than nearby Hollywood without as much of the increasingly-luxuriously hip vibe found in its neighbors Echo Lake and Silver Park. It's not a convenient base if you plan on regularly venturing into the Westside, but I think Los Feliz is ideal for any trip that'll primarily have you heading anywhere in Hollywood and east (and even for some near-Valley destinations like Universal Studios Hollywood or the neighboring movie studios in Toluca Lake and Burbank). Metro's B Line (Red) runs all the way to the southern edge of Los Feliz, where you can also jump onboard a DASH bus to the Observatory. Oh, and FYI: It's pronounced Los FEE-lisz. EAT The unofficial living room of the neighborhood, Little Dom's has stayed bustling for breakfast, lunch and dinner over the past two decades (swing by for its three-course Monday night suppers). Kismet is jam packed with brilliant Turkish and Mediterranean-inspired shareables and snacks—the shakshuka, broccolli toast and fantastically flakey bread and dips are all great choices. DRINK Take a seat in the idyllic twinkle-lit courtyard at Big Bar and sample from a selection of playful but unfussy perfectly concocted cocktails. Or try pre-Hispanic recipes at Mírate, which was recently named one of the best bars on the continent. DO Stop off at the bright and airy Skylight Books and search through the independent store's thoughtfully curated staff picks for some mind stretching reading material. Peruse an always different assortment of pop culture at Soap Plant Wacko and its adjoining gallery La Luz de Jesus. Then catch an early evening matinee in the Egyptian style Vista Theatre (now under the ownership of Quentin Tarantino). STAY You'll only find a couple of overnight options within Los Feliz proper, namely Hotel Covell, a five-room boutique hotel located above Bar Covell. Each room conjures a different phase in a fictional, well-heeled traveler's life—think a humble Midwestern bedroom, New York in the '50s and a Parisian love nest. (Though it's worth noting there's no pool or gym.) On the northwest side of the neighborhood, a former courtyard motel has been given a chic makeover as the Cara Hotel, perhaps best known for its dreamy patio restaurant. If you do just one thing…

A gallery show of rare Keith Haring drawings is popping up in this NYC suburb
Move over, Manhattan. This month, one of New York City's most iconic street artists is taking over a dining room with views of it. From today, August 6 through Friday, August 29, Kanopi —the modern Portuguese-inspired fine-dining spot perched 42 floors above White Plains, will trade its sweeping Hudson-to-Manhattan panoramas (well, most of them) for something a little more underground: Rare 1980s Keith Haring subway drawings. The pop-up exhibition, HARINGS!, is a collaboration between Kanopi and Greenwich-based Trimper Gallery, transforming the restaurant into a gallery lounge and immersive listening room. Lining the walls will be Haring's bold, black-and-white chalk drawings, originally scrawled on blank advertising spaces in New York's subway stations, where millions could encounter them on their daily commute. Chef Anthony Gonçalves, a James Beard Award semifinalist who grew up steeped in New York City nightlife, is pairing the visual art with a soundtrack worthy of a downtown club in its prime. The curated playlist runs while guests take in Haring's kinetic, high-energy figures—proof that even in a white-tablecloth setting, his work retains every ounce of its street-level buzz. Of course, it wouldn't be Kanopi without food worth lingering over. The HARINGS! menu riffs on cosmopolitan indulgence: a towering seafood platter with oyster, lobster, tiger shrimp and hand-picked crab; a luxe Mishima Reserve wagyu katsu sando; sourdough flatbreads topped with anchovy, oregano-roasted yeast butter and lardo; and tempura in two directions—seasonal Hudson Valley vegetables or tiger shrimp in almond beer batter. Save room for desserts like playful Japanese milk ice cream sundaes with bourbon caramel and cookie crumble or fruit ice-pops in rotating flavors. HARINGS! marks the third creative pairing between Kanopi and Trimper Gallery, following showcases of work by photographer Tyler Shields and painter Lincoln Townley. This time, Gonçalves says, the collaboration felt like a natural evolution, melding the restaurant's refined intimacy with the raw pulse of 1980s New York. For art lovers, it's a chance to see original Haring works without trekking into the city (or fighting for elbow room in a packed museum). For diners, it's proof that fine dining can be just as adventurous as a late-night gallery crawl. And for anyone nostalgic for the days when you could stumble on great art between subway stops, it's a rare opportunity to sit with it, glass of vinho verde in hand.
