Forever Cemetery
The rock'n'roll faithful flock to the monument of guitar-playing Johnny Ramone at this Paramount-adjacent boneyard. Other long-term residents include Hattie McDaniel, Rudolph Valentino and Cecil B DeMille. From Bugsy Siegel's mausoleum, catch the perfectly framed view of the Hollywood sign - proving that Hollywood, at least here, really is forever. Watch outdoor movie screenings in the summer (www.cinespia.org).

Ocean Front Walk
Known locally as the Venice Boardwalk, this can't-miss parade of hustlers, freaks, artists and exhibitionists will have you either thanking your lucky stars for your office job or plotting your imminent escape from drudgery. Shopping? Cheap sunglasses, Bob Marley tees, beachy photographs and sarongs are representative fare. Personal makeover? Body piercers, tattoo artist, masseuses and hair-braiders are happy to help. Fast food options abound.

Half the challenge is finding this postage stamp-sized cemetery. Tucked behind a commercial building, celebrity-filled Westwood Memorial seems the current Hyde Lounge of the post-life set. Truman Capote, Dean Martin and Marilyn Monroe - see the lipstick prints - crowd sanctuaries near the entrance while headstones for rabble rousers like Rodney 'There goes the neighborhood' Dangerfield keep 'em chuckling in back.
