Day 1

Three days of romance begin in Griffith Park with a hike and city views from the iconic Griffith Observatory. Enjoy an alfresco lunch at the famous pizzeria from Eat Pray Love, then shop for music and movies for chilling at home. Stop by one of LA's best wine stores for romantic gift boxes like "Breakfast in Bed," "Toy Box for Two," and "Love On the Run." After sipping sake and sharing small plates, enjoy an outdoor concert at the landmark Greek Theatre, and a nightcap at Big Bar.

Day 2

Like every great love affair, today's itinerary has its ups and downs. Start the day at Grand Central Market, as seen in La La Land. Head to nearby Historic Filipinotown for artisan confections. Then it's back to Downtown LA to re-enact an iconic scene from 500 Days of Summer, and an afternoon of rejuvenation at The Ritz-Carlton. Tonight, you'll dine nearly 1,000 feet above DTLA, experience a classical music concert, and go underground for cocktails.
