Old-school rooftop LA. Up above Wilshire Blvd., the ambiance and view makes this endless city seem quaint and a hand-full of glamour rather than a sprawl of congested traffic and cars. Iconic-classic view of LA from atop the Wilshire Hotel. Eat the best burgers ever. Have a martini. - Or maybe some of that delicious looking strawberry shortcake all from a poolside cabana booth. Gorgeous. So LA.
