Go to the farmer's market, load up on goodies and wine, head up to the Getty center museum, skip the exhibits, have a picnic dinner on the patio that overlooks all of LA, out to the ocean and the islands.

Drive early morning up the coast to Malibu, walk up the canyons to the hidden waterfall, back down for greasy surfer lunch at Neptune's Net (fresh seafood fried nicely), then an afternoon of basking in the sun.

Music, depending on taste. Maybe Largo, or Hotel Cafe, or the Greek, or Disney Concert Hall. See who is playing.

One splashy dinner out, depending on taste. Either Church & State for french, BLT Steak for grill and steakhouse, or Yamashiro (personal favorite) for sushi.

A movie at El Capitan, where a real organist still plays the prelude, and there is an actual stage show before the film. This is old-school hollywood style.

MOCA to see the Rothko paintings.

Those are the things I would suggest for pretty much anyone. I can get more specific based on personal preferences.
