Dirty Oscars Annex aka DOA also has amazing food! Really cool vibes throughout, but a bit of a wait for food but it's SO worth it.

Parks & Nature

There are gardens, a zoo, aquarium, playgrounds, iconic views and tons of hiking. There is a little bit for everyone! Every time our family goes we see a little more of what the park has to offer. Definitely do the 5 mile loop! It's gorgeous.
