My Ride: E60
I'm taking the family back to Los Angeles in November and am wondering if any fellow LA E60'ers out there could give me some advice on the best places to go,etc.
1. The TOP 10 places to eat in LA
2. The TOP 10 places to shop (malls, stores, shopping areas,etc)
3. The TOP 10 recreational places to go to, (Disney,etc....)
4. The TOP 10 sightseeing spots to see ..
5. The best boutique hotels recommended (within a reasonable pricing range, of course)
I'm really interested in hearing from any E60'ers who've visited/stayed in the above and any
recommendations/advice is greatly appreciated!!

Boutique Hotels I like:
The Mondrion (Sunset Blvd.)
The Viceroy (Santa Monica)
The Standard (Sunset or Downtown LA)
The W (West LA)
The Roosevelt (Hollywood)
All have nice restaurants, bars, and pools
As far as shopping and restaurants: personal taste takes preference....
For shopping, trendy/urban? high end fashion?
Restaurants: Fusion? Classic? etc...

+1 for the Getty if you have time, both sites if possible.
Another smaller but great boutique hotel is The Avalon in Beverly Hills.
The Mondrion is just finishing up renovations, new rooms/layouts/decor is phenomenal and pool side/sky bar is always a nice place to be....
