Angels Flight
In the early 20th century, Bunker Hill was one of LA's most fashionable neighborhoods. The nearly 300-foot Angels Flight railway has carried passengers up and down the hill's steep slope since 1901.
Watts Towers
Created by Italian immigrants Sabato "Simon" Rodia, the Watts Towers combine sculpture and architecture. The towers consist of 17 enormous sculptures. They are made of steel covered with wire mesh and mortar and decorated with mosaic tiles, glass, clay, shells and rock. They're best enjoyed with a tour group.
Lighthouse Cafe
Since its appearance in La La Land, the Lighthouse Cafe has become one of LA's most famous restaurants. With live music every night, it's certainly worth a visit. Its website tells the story of the restaurant's first musician, named Rumsey. He wandered into the cafe and asked the owner about playing for visitors. The owner reluctantly agreed to give Rumsey a chance. So Rumsey hired the loudest musicians he could find, opened the doors and began to play. Guests crowded in, and the Lighthouse Cafe has featured music ever since.
So pursue your dream to visit Los Angeles - you'll find all this and plenty more to enjoy.
