Answer 2

Romance is where you make it. Anything can be romantic, if done right. However, if you want to create a special moment with a view, then the hills or the beach are where you want to start.

Mulholland Drive is beautiful, but might be a bit dicey if you are shooting for a romantic moment. There are lots of kids up there, parking, driving fast, etc. I would hate for one of them to ruin the moment.

Griffith Observatory. Excellent views of LA, easy to get to. However, a recent fire has closed some of the trails in the park.

Catalina is muy romantico. Dance to Big Bands at Catalina Casino Ballroom & Theatre. Dress up and return to the glamorous big band days for a special night in the Casino Ballroom where art deco murals and Tiffany chandeliers adorn the 12-story icon.
