Is there a place in L.A. that simply makes you happy? A spot where you go to escape? Where the noise just stops and you feel nothing but delight?

Perhaps it’s a favorite store where the bright and clean interior offers you a reprieve from your mental clutter. Or a treasured spot outdoors that has what you’ve proclaimed as the city’s best view of the sunset. Maybe it’s your local fitness or dance studio where you go regularly for a reliable hit of serotonin.
