Beverly Hills to WeHo: Gardens, Dinner, Pub, a Show
Four stops across Beverly Hills and West Hollywood: terraced gardens and city views at Greystone Mansion, Italian-Mediterranean cooking at Novikov, a mid-century queer pub in the Rainbow District, and a 1957 live-music room at the Troubadour.
Designed by Gordon Kaufmann, this 1928 Tudor Revival estate was built by oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny as a wedding gift for his son. The Beverly Hills property now serves as a public park with free grounds access. Walk the terraced English gardens and quiet paths past fountains, city views, and grounds often used as a filming location.
