City of dreams

Jim and Art are just back from a long weekend in LaLa Land. We stayed at the legendary Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles, the Beverly Hills Hotel where Marilyn Monroe died, and the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel right across from Grauman's Chinese Theatre on the famous boulevard of stars. As you can expect knowing us, it was a museum marathon, including the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Getty Villa plus The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, the Norton Simon Museum, LACMA: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and others. Along the way we visited numerous locations used for films and TV shows, such as the exterior for Jerry Seinfield’s apartment and the House on Haunted Hill (1959). The high point had to be dinner at the legendary Pink’s—well worth the hour wait and a must do on your next itinerary. All in all a fine time was had by all.
