Here's my suggestions for a Los Angeles Mid-century itinerary:
-
If it's within your budget, stay at the historic Biltmore hotel in Downtown LA.
-
Start off with breakfast at nearby Clifton's Cafeteria, Philippe's French Dip, or the Pantry.
-
If it's a Saturday, try to sign up for an LA Conservancy walking tour in Downtown…

I highly recommend the Broadway Historic Theatre tour...

The Art Deco tour and Historic Downtown tour are good 2nd choices.
-
Afterward, head north towards Los Feliz to visit the Griffith Park Observatory.
-
If it's a Wed-Sat, you can then visit Tiki-Ti when it opens at 4pm.
-
You can then walk down the street to Wacko/Soap Plant, it's one of the best places in LA for Pop Culture shopping. Mrs. Bigbro is the manager there.
-
For dinner, head west towards Hollywood for dinner at Musso & Frank. IMHO, this is a must !!
-
And attending a concert at Hollywood Bowl has been a classic LA summer night tradition since the 1920's.
