This place is an Indian grocery store on one half, and the other half a dining area. The food is vegetarian Indian. The ambiance is very nice. An amber lit dining area with Bollywood films and music featured. A nice, but casual environment with great food.

Amazing gem of a museum. Make your way to the top floor for tea on the rooftop terrace. This place looks small and questionable from the outside. But you will not be disappointed after you enter.

This place has a religious affiliation, but it is a spectacular sight. It's absolutely free and it is an amazing place to unwind. Not the temple itself but the surrounding lake shrine. Absolutely one of the most beautiful places in LA to connect with nature.

Ok, so this is a 15 minute drive, but the best laundromat ever. There are some closer, but trust me, they are not worth using...This laundromat is clean and well managed. The owner is there nightly and the staff have always been very helpful. Prices are among the best in West LA. Open 7 days a week. Last wash is 9:30PM. Also check out Matteos ice cream next door while you are waiting. They have many exotic ice cream flavors, fresh fruits, juices, smoothies & more

This place is pretty good for Laundry. They close earlier than Supreme Clean Coin Laundry. Fully staffed, well maintained, absolutely helpful, I believe there is a barber shop on site too, but can't recommend. Side note is that they use a card system at this laundromat. The staff will walk you through the process if you are unfamiliar.
