A friend of mine who lives on the East Coast said she may be visiting L.A. for a couple days in June with her husband. She asked if I knew of any affordable but hip places. A few came to mind, but after a Google search, I found this list. I heard of a few of these, while others flew under my radar. These are not kid-friendly, but are good to for those on a budget and traveling alone or with another person. Besides, now that I have a kid, I’m no longer a great tour guide.
