Places to Be Naughty

6533 Hollywood Blvd Unit 111, Hollywood, CA 90028 (map)

This lush lounge hidden deep beneath Hollywood Boulevard is said to be where Rudolph Valentino once ran his own illegal speakeasy. Now, the gorgeous barely-lit black and gold space pays homage to the Jazz Age with live music, Prohibition-era drinks and so many private nooks that make it perfect for discreet indiscretions.

8618 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90069 (map)

Named for a giant seed that looks like female body parts, this red-walled, classed-up sex shop is where you can find erotic tools, books, garb and inspiration for just about any taste. Human hair whip or silk rope bondage kits, anyone?

10948 Weyburn Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90024 (map)

Turning out some of the most original (and tastiest) donuts in Los Angeles, this Westwood institution is where you'll gladly give in to your devilish sweet tooth for a taste of greasy heaven on earth: The variety of transcendent fried goodies--like Reese's chocolate-peanut butter pockets--are out of this world.

8221 W Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90046 (map)

As Hollywood's ultimate celeb hideaway (and most notorious haunt), this goth-glam castle is where you can act like the rich and famous guests who carry on with secret trysts and paparazzi-free flings. (Photo-taking is forbidden--it even says so on the restaurant menus!)

3600 Highland Ave, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266 (map)

Sin City hits the South Bay at this naughty hot spot. Nightly cabaret shows where shimmying burlesque dancers twist their hips to a live band make this Manhattan Beach lounge a decidedly more stimulating spot than most of the options in this laidback town.
