Only private parties these days.

I've been hunting around for a restaurant or two to work once-a-week.

It's raining cats and dogs right now. If you want a great museum hit the Getty center. Visit bev hills/rodeo drive. Maybe hit Hollywood and vine. Drive hwy 1 from Santa Monica to Oxnard. Then go back on the 101. Stop by auto gallery in calabasas and drool on ferraris. Just a few suggestions.
I've been to the getty center, definitely worth the visit!
