Pronounced "joost-uh" (me thinks?!). This is our favorite restaurant in all of Los Angeles. Reservations can be hard to nab but you can enjoy their more affordable but just-as-tasty offerings at GTA (right next door) or GJusta.

Downtown
Lots of restaurants and bars open early and late.
This place is awesome because it's open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Within, are different restaurants: Dockside has an awesome outdoor patio with fireplaces while you eat a full breakfast or a seafood inspired lunch or dinner; Provisions has coffee, ice cream, and a small deli; and there is a whiskey bar at the back!

It's not as wacky as it used to be but it's still fun. Definitely rent a bike and ride it all the way to the Santa Monica Pier.

Parks & Nature
This is not a glamorous beach, but it's our local beach. And you can quickly get there on a bike! Stay further north in Playa Del Rey for a more peaceful scene, or head further south to watch airplanes take off overhead from LAX. Strangely interesting juxtaposition!
