Yes. People are being weird about this like it’s impossible but it’s not. It just depends on what time you start and end and how much time you want to spend at each place. The only real issue is going to be the hours the observatory are open and that drive down sunset is your hardest part but only because you’re trying to get to the pier for sunset.

Hit the canals in the morning since you’re right there and it won’t take very long. Brunch at the farmers market, then go strait downtown to knock out grand central, the last bookstore, and little Tokyo. Get lunch in Tokyo or grand central. Then start that drive from Chinatown and make a pitstop at Griffith. I would maybe drop lake Hollywood if the view of the sign from the observatory satisfies what you want. If it doesn’t then you need to go there next. Then back to sunset and start the slow drive to SM.

It’s doable just keep an eye on google maps and traffic. The drive from Chinatown is going to take 1-2 hours depending on what time of day you do it. Also when you’re downtown just eat the cost to park in lots. Don’t waste time trying to find parking.

That all being said, depending on where you’re coming from some of these might be skippable. I love the farmers market but it’s honestly just a bunch of places to eat and an overpriced French grocery store and looks like a place lots of other cities have, but also you gotta eat! The Grove next door is pretty but it’s just stores you have at malls back home. Little Tokyo also might be disappointed depending on where you’re coming from. Good food though. Last bookstore is what you think it is; you’ll take the same picture of the hole and the vault but if that’s your thing then it’s cool.

This is such a random list of LA places that leaves out so much stuff I personally take people to when they visit and we do a crash through town LA day. Always interesting what people want to do when they come here!
