A counter at the back of Attari Plaza with a shaded courtyard of outdoor tables behind it. The menu runs to tongue sandwiches, kotlet and a bowl of ash reshteh that arrives whether or not you ordered soup. It has been on this block of Westwood Boulevard since the early 1990s.
Tuesday to Sunday 11am to 7pm. Closed Monday
UCLA's museum at Wilshire and Westwood, free to everyone with no ticket and no reservation. The courtyard at the center is open off the street and people sit in it without going into a gallery at all. Exhibitions turn over often enough that a second visit is not a repeat.
Tuesday to Sunday 11am to 6pm. Closed Monday. Public programs in the evening run later than the galleries
A small shop on Westwood Boulevard that has been making Persian-style bastani since the 1980s. The saffron and pistachio is the one to get, pressed between two wafers if you ask for it that way. Cucumber and date sit on the same board, which tells you the register.
Sunday to Thursday 11am to 10pm. Friday and Saturday 11am to 11pm
