LOS ANGELES
Oh, the City of Angels, where theme parks and reality shows, beaches and canyons, trendy shopping and velvet-rope nightlife all live happily under one sunny blue sky. No matter the time of year, this left coast city attracts visitors with its temperate weather, wide array of activities and hotels—and the chance of a celeb sighting.

BY DAY: Get your bearings in the sprawling metropolis with one of L.A.’s famous bus tours, which extend far beyond the celebrity home-stalking variety. No matter your interest, there’s probably a tour here for you—itineraries spotlight famous movie sites, art and architecture, and local foodie favorites. Outdoorsy couples will enjoy bike tours through Topanga State Park, or one of Extranomical’s Beach Lovers tours, which make stops at sandy spots like Venice Beach, Will Rodgers State Beach and the Santa Monica Pier. Cultural attractions include the October opening of “Pacific Standard Time: Art in LA 1945-1980,” a multi-platform exhibit taking place at more than 50 cultural institutions, and Cirque du Soleil’s new Iris, a fantastical journey though the history of world cinema, presented at the Kodak Theatre, home of the Oscars.

WHERE TO EAT: Several of L.A.’s restaurants help cultivate romance with meals that are designed to be shared. At the classic Morton’s, the signature steak-and-seafoodfor- two prix-fixe menu includes salads, single-cut filets, choice of seafood and a decadent dessert. At Chef Wolfgang Puck’s WP24, Peking duck-for-two is served against a backdrop of city views, while Comme Ca, on Melrose Avenue, offers a special that features a whole roasted chicken for two, including trimmings and take-home recipes.
AT NIGHT: Fans of live music will want to see a show at one of L.A.’s iconic Sunset Strip venues— The Roxy, Viper Room and Whisky A Go-Go—where acts range from up-and-comers to established bands. For cocktails, choose a swank hotel bar, like the Whisky Blue at the W Los Angeles Westwood and the Bar Marmont at the classic Chateau Marmont. Or mellow out at the J Restaurant and Lounge, with its long bar, cigar area and patio with fire pit.
