Los Angeles: Good Morning West Hollywood

West Hollywood, Los Angeles

After 5 wonderful days in New York, I’m now in Los Angeles. My plane landed right after the flight Trine was on from Copenhagen, so we met in the airport and went to pick up our rental car. Alamo has these self-service machines, which allow you to fetch your booking without having to wait in line.

Though the machine got confused over the 3 different ways the “ø” in my last name appeared on my driver license, my credit card and in my booking (“ø”, “o” and “oe”) so we had to wait in line for human service anyway.

By the time we were ready to leave the airport, it was in the middle of rush hour, so it took us a little longer to get to the apartment we had rented in West Hollywood. The location is amazing, and we have so many things within walking distance, which is quite unusual for LA. I’ve therefore sent Trine out to get us some coffee (the Pumpkin Spice Latte season is here), and while she’s gone, I’ll write about our dinner at Katana last night.

Los Angeles is a city you don’t quite figure out all at once. It unfolds slowly, neighborhood by neighborhood, mile by mile. Vast and sun washed, cinematic and oddly intimate, it’s a place of constant contrast. Morning hikes in the canyons. Long lunches that stretch into late afternoon. Evenings that end by the ocean with salt in your hair and traffic humming somewhere in the distance. What I love most about LA is that it feels less like a single city and more like a collection of distinct worlds stitched together by freeways and palm trees. A strip mall might hide one of the best meals you’ll have all year. A quiet residential street can lead to a view that stops you in your tracks. The glamour is there if you look for it, but so is a relaxed, everyday rhythm that makes the city surprisingly livable. On this page, I’ve gathered my Los Angeles favorites. The restaurants I return to. The neighborhoods I linger in. The places that capture the particular mix of ambition, creativity, and laid back energy that defines the city.
