The area is quite serene, and crossing the street toward the white cliff barrier on foot yields a close-up of the spectacular vistas.

Drinks & Nightlife
"Verdugo Bar is just one of those bars you love to tell people about. Located under some apartments on Verdugo Road in Glassell Park, Verdugo Bar is the NELA watering hole you do not want to miss. With a fantastic selection of craft beer and cocktails, Verdugo satisfies even the most discerning palates. What really stands out is their awesome patio section located outside. With picnic tables lined up end-to-end and soft lighting, this section provides a great communal vibe and is really the place to sit at Verdugo Bar."

"Located a few blocks from the Metro Rail Gold Line, Avenue 50 Studio is much more than a multicultural art gallery - it’s a vital hub of the Highland Park community. Grounded in Latino and Chicano culture, Avenue 50 and its two attached galleries - Two Tracks Studio and She Rides the Lion - have presented hundreds of shows that showcase the area’s diverse cultures, with international exchange exhibits including Asian and African American artists. The nonprofit arts organization also hosts films and poetry readings as well as workshops in art, spoken word and other forms of creative expression."

"Located in adjacent Montecito Heights, Heritage Square Museum is a living history museum that explores the settlement and development of Southern California during its first 100 years of statehood. The eight historic structures located at the museum were constructed during the Victorian Era, saved from demolition and rebuilt at the museum site along the Arroyo Seco. One such buildings is the Hale House, built in 1887 at the foot of Mt. Washington in Highland Park, a few blocks away. The Hale House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in September 1972. The buildings serve as relics of the everyday lives of Southern Californians from the Civil War to the early 20th Century.

"The Los Angeles Police Museum opened on York Boulevard in April 1926 as the Highland Park Police Station. The station was closed in 1983 and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) moved its Northeast Division to a new location. The building was declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in January 1984, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places two months later. Restored to its original Renaissance Revival style, the museum traces the history of the LAPD with exhibits that include photographs, uniforms, badges, weapons, squad cars, a paddy wagon, and bullet-riddled vehicles."
