The best part for any serious fan of Americana is the yearly showing of Top Gun at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum’s flight deck. Picnicing is encouraged but booze is not.
Dos Caminos Meatpacking
The Mexican chain is less about the food -- which is tasty as hell: fresh guac, smoked chicken flautas, all kinds of tacos -- and more about the boozy warm-weather scene.

Old Ebbitt Grill
There are few places better to dine than Old Ebbitt Grill, the city’s oldest saloon. The Grill has entertained presidents, generals, politicians, & just about every fat cat this town has ever known.
Ace Hotel
We’ve been crushin’ on the folksy hotel chain since it opened shop in New York a few months back. They’ve got food cornered at the Breslin and tier-one Stumptown coffee.
London Eye

POV Terrace at W Hotel
Take Dad to the POV lounge atop the W Hotel, where you can ply the old man with bottomless bellinis, show him spectacular views of the monuments, & let him graze to his heart’s content from the place.
Marvin
Manages to mix club kids, slick professionals & intel operatives to great effect. Sidle up to the downstairs bar for a cocktail from Marvin's own Drink Nazi, Josh, & then drink in the scenery.
Public Bar
Public Bar can keep you entertained during the lulls. There’s not one, but six, burgers to try. There’s a lounge upstairs with couches to give your stool-weary butt a rest.
Moonshadows
The mood at this sundeck stop Fridays & Saturdays is just right with its view of the ocean & plenty of beautiful faces to take in over Tiki Bar libations while DJs spin nice, laid-back electronic.
Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum

With its festive Chinese-themed décor (gotta love the lantern–filled bar and outdoor neon signage), this dimly lit space is fun, fun, fun. Sip on a fancy cocktail or enjoy a Jameson on the rocks.
Polo Lounge
It's venerable, ancient & it serves prickly pear margaritas (check out their exhaustive list of speciality cocktails for variations and alternatives).
New Beverly Cinema
An ex-vaudeville haunt, the place is overflowing with cinematically outdated Old Hollywood charm, & it's one of the few spots in town where you can still catch a double feature on 35mm.
The Breslin
Protein-heavy menu of dishes like beef & stilton pie, crispy sweetbreads with minty peas & bacon, a char-grilled lamb burger, & the date-ready pig foot for 2. The drink sitch is equally cordial.
Landmark Century Centre Cinema
This year’s breakout documentary offers a revealing view into the street art world while perhaps duping the audience with an elaborate hoax. It’s a hilarious & head-spinning rollercoaster ride.
Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre
If you want comedy than go here. Trust us.
