Met In / Los Feliz

Los Angeles

An afternoon above Hollywood.

Start with coffee on Hillhurst. Continue toward Barnsdall for a house, a gallery, and a different perspective on the city.

The guide · 4 stops, in walking order

  1. 01
    Maru Coffee, Los Feliz ↗

    1936 Hillhurst Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027

    Keep the beginning simple: a cup from Maru’s Los Feliz shop before turning the afternoon toward architecture and art.

  2. 02
    Hollyhock House ↗

    4800 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90027

    Make the house the anchor of the visit. Frank Lloyd Wright’s design rewards an outing organized around looking, with interior access planned in advance.

  3. 03
    Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery ↗

    4800 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90027

    Give contemporary Los Angeles artists a place in the same afternoon. Check what is on view before going; the gallery closes between installations.

  4. 04
    Barnsdall Art Park ↗

    4800 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90027

    Leave space after the buildings. The park is part of the outing, not merely the ground between its destinations.
