LOS ANGELES - HOLLYWOOD

Best Of Sneaky
Map My Location
The Griddle Cafe
7916 W Sunset Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90046
(323) 874-0377
You won't believe what these people can do with flapjacks, mind boggling! Here's a tasty example: "A shot of espresso and chocolate chips folded into our buttermilk recipe." That's just the tip of the iceberg. The artistry they put into their flapjacks carries over to their egg specialties. Go for the "Some like it hot" scramble, a delicious array of chicken tequila sausage, pico de gallo, avocado and all kinds of spicy sauces." Just close your eyes and point to something. Everything pleases. What hangover? Open Weekdays 7am-4pm; Weekends 8am-4pm
Taste On Melrose
8454 Melrose Ave West Hollywood, CA 90069
(323) 617-3756
This West Hollywood local restaurant is a down-to-earth version of their neighboring posh hotspots (some even pronounce it Tasté with a hint of sarcasm). T fun, friendly (and most importantly, unpretentious) staff garnish the menu that consists of classic breakfast, lunch and dinner items with a comfort flare (mac & cheese is to die for). Stop in on a Monday night to get any bottle of wine ½ off (under $90) or try the aphrodisiac prix fixe, only available during a full moon. Your pocketbook will thank you, especially since you’ve spent a small fortune supporting your friend’s budding music career. Hours: Mon 5:30pm-10pm Tue-Thu 11:30am-10pm, Fri 11:30am-11:30pm, Sat 10:30am-11pm, Sun 10:30am-3pm
The Ivy
113 N Robertson Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90048
(310) 274-8303
The dress code is casual among the white picket fence of The Ivy's front patio. From afar, you'd expect to find Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn dashing by on their way to another misadventure. But hold on, this isn't Missouri we're talking about, this is LA, baby. Look a little closer and you'll notice the wealthy and famous indulging in some comfort food and stiff drinks. Take a step close enough to read the menu and you'll see that people are paying big bucks to be there. The draw of The Ivy is that it's one of THE best places to be seen, especially among celebrities. And after enjoying The Ivy's patio on a breezy afternoon with a refreshing beverage, you'll understand why. Hours: Mon-Fri 11:30am-11pm, Sat 11am-11pm, Sun 10:30am-10pm
Les Deux
1638 North Las Palmas Ave Los Angeles, CA 90028
323-462-7674
Once a private Hollywood home, this club’s patio is the place to be in LA. Where else can you walk into an Ultra Lounge and catch a foreign film or fashion show on the overhead projection? It’s not easy to get in, though, so at least make it appear as if you and your crew want bottle service until close. The ratio of guys to girls is quite advantageous, too, if you have a Y chromosome.
Fat Fish
616 N Robertson Blvd West Hollywood, CA 90069
310-659-3882
It's not so much a happy hour as it is happy hours - plural. For Fat Fish, happy hours are a daily occurrence. In fact, they like their happy hours so much that Sunday-Wednesday, they hold two separate happy hours (from 5-7pm and 10-11pm, respectively). With a variety of rolls priced at less than $4 and homerun hitters such as Shrimp Tempura and Sweet & Spicy Prawns sliding in at $6 and under, Fat Fish is making a run at LA's top spot for happy hour sushi. Oh, and did we mention that premium cold sakes are only three bills? Hours: Sun-Thu 5pm-11pm, Fri-Sat 5pm-12am
The Laugh Factory
8001 Sunset Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90046
(323) 656-1336
Comedy is hit or miss and the acts at The Laugh Factory are no exception. But when they hit, boy are they funny. This well-known showroom has been showcasing big names as well as up-and-coming talent since 1979. Richard Pryor was The Laugh Factory's first comedian and since his appearance, thousands of others have followed in his footsteps. As noted above, not all are hilarious, but enough of the jokesters are funny enough to make coming here worth your while. The long lines will likely be the least humorous part of your Laugh Factory experience. Hours: Daily 8pm-2am
The Mondrian
8440 Sunset Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90069
(323) 650-8999
This Sunset Strip boutique hotel boasts California-minimalist design in a chic environment. Reservations at the Mondrian get you a pass into the hot Skybar that encircles the hotel pool, where celebs can often be found lounging on the plush couches and sipping a cocktail (while the rest of us wait in line!). The Mondrian also houses one of the best restaurants on the Strip – Asia de Cuba, serving incomparable Asian-Latino fusion. Great for people on extended stay, each of the 237 rooms comes equipped with a kitchen and a large desk to get some quality work time in. It can get a bit rowdy in the evenings, so if you room faces Skybar and you’re not into partying, you may want to request a room on the opposite side.
