Breakfast is big, although they serve cocktails and more at this throwback, family friendly spot. While the patio is inviting, get a seat inside near the fireplace so you can check out the retro decor and toast your own toast at the table.

There are dozens upon dozens of good places to try Armenian specialties in Glendale, but the kabobs here are perfectly cooked over fire and the garlicky dips (try the ikra) and sides and fresh flatbread (known as lavash) are exceptionally good here. Take out only.

Sightseeing
There's a reason it's packed most clear nights. Getting a free shot at a powerful telescope draws the crowds of both locals and tourists. It didn't hurt that LaLa Land was filmed here. Griffith Observatory is also a great place to visit during the day, thanks to its iconic vistas. Can't take the crowds? Check out other parts of Griffith Park for hiking and walking trails.
