With respect to everyone else, LA is pretty dope. While certain places (Hollywood Blvd) should be avoided like the plague they are, there's a ton to do all around town.
Some recommendations!
If you want to go into Hollywood, see what's playing at the Cinerama Dome at the Arclight Hollywood. It's one of the most interesting theaters in the world, huge screen, and an architectural marvel. Not interested in a film? Check out Amoeba Music, one of the last great record stores.
Downtown LA has a lot of great stuff. I recommend checking out The Last Book Store. Drive all of a few blocks into Little Tokyo and you'll find some really fun escape rooms and a downright bizarre monument to the Challenger Space Shuttle.
Like Nature? Angeles National Forest has a lot of great hiking trails. Like nature without any threat of death? The Huntington in Pasadena has one of the largest and most diverse gardens in the country. It also has a museum that houses a Gutenberg Bible and a copy of the Declaration of Independence. If you watch "The Good Place," you're notice that most of the outdoor scenes are shot there.
Like beer? Angel City Brewery in Downtown LA is great, Golden Road Brewery in Burbank is also great. If you've just finished up at the Huntington head to Lucky Baldwins in Old Town Pasadena where they have an amazing beer selection and some great pub food. Pie and Burger also has some of the best pies and burgers I've ever had.
Hope this helped! Go forth and prosper.
