Farm Sanctuary YOUR PERFECT DAY


Los Feliz MORNING


Swing by the airy Skylight Books (1818 N Vermont Ave; 323-660- 1175, skylightbooks.com) and peruse the independent shop’s well- curated staff picks for some morning reading material, then take your paperback of choice up the street to the small patio at caffeine- fix mainstay Bru Coffeebar (1886 N Vermont Ave; 323-664-7500, brucoffeebar.com). If you’re after a decadent breakfast, claim a booth and order up something from the griddle at 24/7 throwback diner Fred 62 (1850 N Vermont Ave; 323-667-0062, fred62.com). Wait out your inevitable food coma with a $6.50 early matinee in the plush, Egyptian-style Vista Theatre (4473 Sunset Blvd; 323-660-6639, vintagecinemas.com/vista).


AFTERNOON Tippi Hedren at Shambala Preserve


bullfrog and Luke Skywalker, a squirrel monkey born at the Playboy Mansion—at this family-run nonprofit. The two-hour tour is as educational as it is hands on, with opportunities to pet everything from a hybrid wolf to a baboon. à 10234 Escondido Canyon Rd, Agua Dulce (animaltracksinc .org). Sat, Sun at various times; $25.


Farm Sanctuary This bicoastal rescue isn’t shy about its


advocacy for vegan living; before you rub a pig’s belly, you’ll hear about the horrific fate from which it was spared. But the sanctuary’s saved residents are ambassadors for all livestock and reminders that animals we often think of as commodities are lovable creatures, from a turkey with a fondness for massages under her wings to an adorable donkey named Honky Tonk. à 5200 Escondido Canyon Rd, Acton (661-269-5404, farmsanctuary.org). Sat, Sun at 11am, 1, 3pm; $10.


Shambala Preserve Actress Tippi Hedren channeled her love


of big cats into the establishment of this safarilike reserve in 1983. The 40-plus lions, tigers and leopards that live here are mostly rejected circus animals and exotic pets. Though this summer’s Sand Fire scorched the area, the reserve remains open to guided safaris outside the feline enclosures. à 6867 Soledad Canyon Rd, Acton (661-268-0380, shambala .org). Tour: Second Sat and Sun of the month at noon; $50.


Wacko


Work your way down Vermont Avenue and its collection of shops, from radical decor courtesy of queer feminist- owned Otherwild (1768 N Vermont Ave; 323-546-8437) to an indescribable assortment of pop culture at Soap Plant Wacko (4633 Hollywood Blvd; 323-663-0122, soapplant .com). Then cross over Hollywood Boulevard and climb up to Barnsdall Art Park (4800 Hollywood Blvd; barnsdall.org) for a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s landmark, the temple-like Hollyhock House. Make your way back to the other side of town and into Griffith Park for a sandwich and slice of pie from the Trails Cafe (2333 Fern Dell Dr; 323-871-2102), which overlooks the lovely Fern Dell, a shaded, rustic oasis equally stocked with relaxing strolls and hiking trailheads.


NIGHT


Feeling intrepid? Hike the two-mile trail up to Griffith Observatory (2800 E Observatory Rd; 213-473-0800, griffithobservatory.org). Otherwise, drive up and settle in for a sunset with shimmery city views from the Art Deco hilltop observatory. Trek back down for dinner on one of L.A.’s most idyllic patios at Alcove Cafe and Bakery (1929 Hillhurst Ave; 323-644-0100, alcovecafe.com), which serves up large, unfussy plates in its twinkle-lit courtyard, with top-notch whimsical cocktails at the adjoining Big Bar. Afterward, make sure to visit lounge legends Marty and Elayne at the Dresden (1760 N Vermont Ave; 323- 665-4294, thedresden.com) before swinging by House of Pies (1869 N Vermont Ave; 323-666-9961, houseofpiesla.com) for a midnight slice of banana cream pie.
