Los Angeles – A day (and night) in West Hollywood

Nestled between Beverly Hills and Hollywood, West Hollywood (or WeHo, as it has come to be known) is one of the most dynamic parts of the region and home to some of the area’s best art galleries, restaurants, clubs, shops and beloved landmarks (think Sunset Strip).

Fairfax Ave isn’t a bad place to start off your adventures in WeHo with The Grove, Farmers Market and CBS studios all within walking distance of one another. Heck, there’s even a trendy hotel across the road!

Stay

Farmer’s Daughter Hotel

115 S. Fairfax Ave, Los Angeles | 323.937.3930

This ex-motel turned country chic boutique hotel is centrally located in West Hollywood, a mere stone’s throw away from The Farmer’s Market, The Grove shopping mall and CBS studios.

What Jack likes:

–       Location location location!

–       The chic vibe and gorgeous interior of its restaurant, TART

–       Delicious freshly-baked chocolate-chip cookies and ice cold lemonade placed at the reception for tea everyday

–       Complimentary wireless internet

Note: Prices are rather steep for what is essentially a glammed-up motel but one’s gotta pay the price to be special! Recommended for the funky at heart, not for the value-seekers.

If you are booking through an Internet deal, take note that breakfast ($14/ person) and valet parking ($18/night) may not be included in the rate, excluding tax.

Eat:

If you are staying at the Farmer’s Daughter Hotel and breakfast isn’t included in the hotel rate, you’ll be pleased that The Farmer’s Market is a short stroll across the road where food is aplenty.

The French Crepe Co.

Try any of their indulgent crepes (nutella and banana) or gorgeous waffles with whipped butter and cream.

Shop:

Work off the calories from breakfast at The Grove with the likes of Abercrombie and Fitch, the Apple store, Barnes and Nobles and UGGs by Jimmy Choo. Oh, and if you’re lucky, you might just get to watch Mario Lopez filming on the set for Extra with a celebrity guest.

Duck in to The Cheesecake Factory when you’re ready for afternoon tea – don’t let its name fool you; this place is an institution with over 50 legendary cheesecakes and specialty desserts to choose from and a full menu to boot. Even the doorman looks like a rock star!

Watch:

Tired from shopping? Catch the latest blockbuster movie at Pacific Theatres and rest your weary feet.

Work out:

SPINNING (Updog Spin + Yoga)

8599 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood | 310.360.7200

Spinning is HOT HOT HOT in LA and one can really be spoilt for choice when it comes to spin classes. After reading Tevia Celli-Recht’s online instructor profile, I picked Updog Spin + Yoga.

The verdict: I loved it. Tevia’s personal connection with the members, fantastic music and dedication to the program has garnered her a loyal fan base, 1 more included.

Note: Check the schedule online and call in early to reserve a bike as Tevia’s classes can get booked up quickly.

    Hey, I’ve just booked Farmer’s Daughter Hotel after reading your post & recommendation, for my upcoming trip…. plus it’ll be a nice change from where I stayed last year… Am so looking forward to it 😉

  2. Hey, great to hear! Make sure you head down to Abbot Kinney one afternoon and have coffee at Intelligentsia and lunch/ dinner/ both at Gjelina..it’s very very very good! Will write you with more recommendations 🙂

  3. Thanks to my father who shared with me on the topic of
    this website, this website is genuinely amazing.

  4. Now that you know how easy it is to achieve your dream of being a professional baker,
    it is time to take that first step. The United States has gone one step beyond
    and is encouraging pet owners to be prepared
    for such emergency circumstances. The business community, familiar with both mission and vision statements,
    is also being urged to have a full back up plan for restoration and actions needed by employees in the event of a disaster.
    Leadership and Management – Those studying leadership and management
    at the associate degree level prepare for a life mentoring others and
    running companies. In any important situation, the
    most important thing is your survival.

  5. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that
    I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and
    very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I
    will try to get the hang of it!

  6. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering
    what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours
    would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% sure.

    Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Appreciate it

  7. Do you have a spam issue on this site; I also am a blogger,
    and I was wanting to know your situation; many of us have created some nice procedures and we are looking to exchange
    strategies with others, be sure to shoot me an e-mail if interested.

  8. Hi every one, here every person is sharing these know-how, therefore it’s nice to read this weblog,
    and I used to go to see this blog everyday.

  9. Love is the reason that poetry was invented, so if you’re truly in love, you’ll be amazed what a poet you are after all.
    This can be arranged for the registrar to visit at the hospital or alternatively an appointment can be made at the Department of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
    After all you want to make sure that they understand you are in charge and you will not be controlled by their needs.

  10. With phentermine 37.5 milliigrams change your supper dish for a more compact one particular, similar to a child’s platter.
    Folks tend to complete their total dksh when eating.

    In the event you reduce your servings with phentermine 37.5
    use and milligrams the same plate you will think you will be getting starved.

    You will be able to strategy oneself and you will probaably
    consequently eat less if you use a smaller plate.
