This is the closest you'll get to authentic vegetarian Indian cuisine in the entire city! Very casual, cafeteria style eating with Bollywood films on the TV screen for your entertainment! The #2 with a sweet mango lassi is our favourite combo.

Nestled into the northeast corner of Griffith Park, this museum explores the history of the American West. You might just expect a kitschy exploration of the life and works of famous singing cowboy Gene Autry, but the museum presents a much more engaging exploration of the West, outlining its history and detailing the myths that came to surround it. Learn about Native Americans through art and artifacts brush up on a bit of cowboy with the museum's collection of more than half a million objects. Afterwards, make sure to check out their research library and store. Keep an eye on their calendar since this museum also doubles as a venue for film screenings, lectures, music, etc

The museum contains an unusual collection of exhibits and objects with varying and uncertain degrees of authenticity. New York Times critic Edward Rothstein described it as a "museum about museums", "where the persistent question is: what kind of place is this?"[4] Smithsonian magazine called it "a witty, self-conscious homage to private museums of yore . . . when natural history was only barely charted by science, and museums were closer to Renaissance cabinets of curiosity."[2] In a similar vein, The Economist said the museum "captures a time chronicled in Richard Holmes's The Age of Wonder, when science mingled with poetry in its pursuit of answers to life's mysterious questions...

What historically took centuries to construct was accomplished in three years in the building of the 11-story Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. This first Roman Catholic Cathedral to be erected in the western United States in 30 years began construction on May 1999 and was completed by the spring of 2002. Spanish architect, Professor José Rafael Moneo has designed a dynamic, contemporary Cathedral with virtually no right angles. This geometry contributes to the Cathedral's feeling of mystery and its aura of majesty.
