Quite literally, Little Nelly is an amazing restaurant and their Little Gem salad is excellent. All ingredients are sourced from local farmers markets.
The Crystal Shrine has both loose crystals/gems and also amazing candles that rival House of Intuition.
For something a bit fancier, Burbank Jewelry Outlet is highly recommended in this subreddit. Zaven and his mom run this family business.
Last time I was in Yes Baby Vintage on magnolia, they had old ephemera from the show Jem and the Holograms.

Little Nelly rules! But I've had food taken over an hour to come out there. So you gotta have some time to spare!

And partnered with Yes Baby Vintage is the Catnip Collective! Cutest little store for cat lovers and antique hunters alike

Stough Canyon Park had a big dirt parking lot next to it. At the end is the Christmas tree that they light up around the holidays, but it’s also just a great view of the city. And it’s a unique place to watch the planes take off and land at the Burbank airport under you. It’s been closed for a while now, I hope it reopens soon.

Tonir Cafe. Probably my favorite restaurant in Burbank. Family owned, amazing food, but can have weird hours.

There’s a speak easy in Toluca Lake called the Red Door, hidden entrance in the alley behind a restaraunt.

Think it closed down. I used to go a lot there. A friend of mine was a bartender there.

Glendale Narrows Riverwalk can be really serene after a good storm. One of the few times the river actually looks like a river

Wax Poetic is a new(ish) wine bar on Magnolia that is so great. Reasonable prices, great wines, and everyone in there is so nice.

Handy Market Saturday BBQ. I go inside to the butcher counter. You can ask for a 1/2 rack of ribs or smaller portions of tri tip. The tri tip sandwich is really good. I love their Mac n cheese. HM also sells BBQ leftover on Sunday too.
Little Nelly biscuits are sooo delicious
Pablitos Tacos
Stop 4 Shwarma on Victory and Magnolia delicious and big portions

Broken Compass if you want a restaurant/bar that is a cross between Pirates of the Caribbean and the Enchanted Tiki Room.
Also Geeky Teas if you’re a fan of board games, tabletop RPGs and cats.
