For a "transplant", that's a great write-up. A lot of very good suggestions.
A few things:
I don't really see the current appeal of AK "Boulevard"
per se, but I guess a lot of people like the current iteration. As a walk/shop/gaze/eat street I do agree that it is 1000x better than 3rd Street Promenade, etc.
Jonathan Gold: ex-architect turned successful food critic...if only I too...I enjoy his recommendations.
M/Naka: the Netflix film (Chef's Mind or something) was great; she seems great; I have not yet been there.
Getty = great. Barnsdall = meh.
Huntington + Gamble + Norton Simon = 6 stars! Great grouping!
Father's Office is a good recommendation, as long as it is as fun as it was 15 years ago...it sure was fun then, after work on a Friday....
Your "Alternative/Hikes/Beach" recs are the best so far, imo. Point Dume...wow. + Zuma Beach and Neil Young.
The kids would love Boccali's outside of Ojai, from whichever direction.
