Hit the deco
A special evening in Los Angeles? Try Cicada, in the gorgeous art deco Oviatt Building, a former 20s haberdashery store on South Olive Street, downtown. With elegant wood-panelling and Lalique glass, this is the luxury restaurant in which Julia Roberts had a hard time with those slippery little snails in Pretty Woman. Its not surprisingly a screen favourite: more recently, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had a bit of a spat here in Mr and Mrs Smith, it's the site of Viola Davis' briefing at the opening of Suicide Squad and it becomes a 'Roman' restaurant for Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

Sheer torture...
Yes, Eli Roth fans, there really is a Museum of Torture – and it is the one seen in Hostel. It's not in Slovakia, though, but in the beautiful Medieval village of Český Krumlov, in the Czech Republic, where much of the film was shot. It's not tucked away down a creepy staircase (hello, this is a major tourist attraction!) but on the village's main square.
