Los Angeles is a wonderful city simply because of the sheer amount of things there are to do here. Whether you’re interested in doing something outdoors in nature or something creative indoors, LA has it all. And the best thing is that you can pretty much enjoy the variety that Los Angeles has to offer by simply driving fifteen minutes (or less) from your apartments.

Here are some things you can do this spring in Los Angeles to truly make the most out of your city:

1. Hang out at Echo Park Lake. Be sure to walk around the circumference of the lake at least once (which is a mile) and then check out the nearby shops on Sunset Boulevard.
2. Grab a drink at Dublin’s in Downtown LA. This is a wonderful Irish pub that is sure to help you enjoy life a bit and get your mind off work or whatever it is that’s troubling you.
3. Check out Shatto Lanes in Koreatown. This iconic bowling alley has been here for decades and also has arcade games and pool tables to guarantee you have a blast with your friends.
4. Go shopping on Melrose Avenue. There are many vintage gift shops here that have surprisingly good deals despite bordering West Hollywood.
