It's one of the most exquisite halls, and there isn't a bad seat in the house. We became subscribers and do the Sunday afternoon matinees with the L.A. Phil. It's such a great excuse to go downtown.

I like the Hollywood Bowl, but the Greek Theatre has an intimacy that I really enjoy. You're tucked right into those trees. What I love about L.A. is that you can be right in the middle of this giant megalopolis and still find nature. You get to co-exist with wild things.

This theater consistently does stunning work on a shoestring. It's a venue for gay and lesbian playwrights. I've been to several shows, and last year they did The Color Purple and won several awards for it. I think there were more people onstage than could be seated in the audience, but work like that - that's why people go to the theater in the first place.

There are places that shine during the day, and this is one of them. It's a tapas place, which is great way to dine with friends who are on the same diet that you are, who like the same kind of food. I go there with girlfriends for lunch: the best grilled octopus and calamari salad. It's heaven. Plus, they make killer Bloody Marys.

This is a little oasis where people come together. On Hot in Cleveland, we order from them every week, so I've become quite the regular. They have the best chopped salad, it's just amazing.

There's something so familiar about walking around Venice because it reminds me of New York. I love being anywhere in Los Angeles that people still walk. Venice is such a colorful place and The Rose Cafe has great food. It's the perfect place to sit and read the newspaper.
