Hi Fodorites,
Am hoping for some L.A. locals' help.

I'll be in LA Th. Nov. 12-Sun. Nov. 15, will have a rental car, and staying near 8400 Beverly Blvd. Coming from Chicago, I'm interested in theater (plays, not musicals) and improv comedy. Would so appreciate theater and restaurant reccos that are "single-diner" friendly (maybe good people-watching opportunities). I want to hike a little, see some shows, eat lots of California cuisine and get a tiny taste of how the natives live. Here's a rough schedule:

Thursday: Arrive a.m., grab late b'fast somewhere near hotel (Farmer's Market? The Grove?). Drive to either Coldwater Canyon Park or Runyon Park to hike and picnic. (Is there relatively easy parking?) Drive back to hotel, clean up. Walk Rodeo Drive. Dinner reccos?

Friday: A.m. drive to Santa Monica for shopping on the promenade, lunch (reccos?), then drive to Venice Beach. Evening: Drive to Getty Center to hike and maybe have dinner at the Center, or pack a picnic.

Saturday: Evening play at The Geffen, Late night improv show at either Improv Olympic or UCB or Groundlings (or any other reccos?).

Sunday: B'fast somewhere "neighborhoody" either near hotel or on the way to LAX.

I'd appreciate any suggestions!
