Do you think twice before subjecting your tired fingers to a marathon of texts between you and your girlfriends? Nope.

For better or worse, there’s no city in the world like Los Angeles. Our denizens run the gamut and, as would only be appropriate, so do our neighborhoods.

In an effort to cut down on confusion and make sure you only drive to spots that are worth your while, we’ve compiled a list of LA’s most haute 5 neighborhoods. Traffic is only worth it when you get to drop your car off somewhere truly fabulous!

Enjoying the great outdoors can be a real point of anxiety for some tres haute readers. Bugs come to mind, as do other non-domesticated animals. Luckily, there’s the age-old pastime of people watching – the city-dweller’s outdoor sport.

Here’s the haute 5 list of al fresco options.

Hollywood’s now much-loved Sunset Foot Spa has combined forces with the Mondrian Hotel’s Agua Spa to offer an even more luxurious reflexology foot massage for the most weary Angelenos. Pushing that gas pedal is hard work!

Making a name for yourself on a street like Canon Drive takes determination, dedication, and a talented chef in the kitchen. Peter Garland is owner of the little cafe that could, Porta Via. In the face of Drago establishments, two dueling Wolfgangs, and a legendary chopped salad, Porta Via now expands to open The Bar Room. Cheers to that!
