Where to stay in San Fernando Valley

I hadn't taken this tour in 30 years. There's lots more cool stuff in Universal Studios but some of they old stuff is still some of the best. The run down Bates Motel still looks legit and the Psycho area of the House of Horrors is still one of the scariest parts.

Toluca Lake

Visitors to Toluca Lake enjoy its restaurants, and if you want to do some exploring, OC Skin Secrets Day Spa is worth a stop.

Awesome Lebanese food in NoHo area. Excellent service and high quality ingredients. Their hummus was praised by many LA food critiques. Ask for Sam, he will guide you with all kinds of freshly made goodies. Thanks, Uncle Sam!

Valley Glen

The shark-faced nose of a P-40 aircraft of the Flying Tigers on display at the airport. The Van Nuys Airport was Amelia Earhart's last stop before she vanished in the Pacific.
