  • 1 Beach Boys Historic Landmark, 3701 W. 119th St. The Beach Boys Historic Landmark is a memorial which commemorates the site of the childhood home of Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys. The monument stands on the former location of the Wilsons' house, which was demolished in the mid-1980s during construction of the Century Freeway.    
  • 2 SpaceX Headquarters, Rocket Rd. The headquarters of Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SpaceX) is a massive three-story facility that used to manufacture Boeing 747 fuselages. The bulk of SpaceX's employees work in the facility, and it is where the company builds all of its Falcon 9 rockets. While tours are not available to the public, the first Falcon 9 that the company successfully landed stands outside on the corner of Jack Northrop Ave & Crenshaw Blvd and is worth a visit.

  • Hummus House, 12211 Hawthorne Blvd (Between W. 120th and W. 124th Sts), +1-310-675-3400. M-Th 11AM-9PM, F 11AM-10PM, Sa noon-10PM, Su closed. Unusually delicious Egyptian food, pleasant decor (part of the restaurant looks like a tent) and very nice service. The combo plates, such as the vegetarian plate and the two kabob combinations, are great values. Not surprisingly, the restaurant specializes in hummus and makes several different varieties, but while you absolutely should take the opportunity to enjoy some hummus, don't miss their lentil soup, which just might redefine your conception of what lentil soup is.
