Find a taco shop and get a carne asada burrito. One of the best foods ever. I used to live by a taco shop and got them all the time. I moved out of the ghetto though so now there's no nearby taco shops. :(
Shit now I crave a nice thick and juicy carne asada burrito smothered with salsa fresca and guacemole... |

Taco stands -- totally concur. The sit-down joints don't suck either -- my fave is El Coyote up on Beverly (or is it 3rd?)...
Other eats: * Tommy's for a greasy double chili cheeseburger/hangover reliever * Pink's (La Brea @ Melrose) for the best damn hot dogs on the coast Other do's: * Walk along the boardwalk on Venice Beach * Hike Runyon Canyon * Fuck all the touristy crap like Dizzyland and Universal Studios * Stay away from the malls <br> |

LA is one of my favourite places! Definately Venice Beach, the markets there are fantastic. Hollywood Boulevarde is great for shopping and definately do as many restaraunts as you can, the food is great! :thumbsup

Venice boardwalk and Santa Monica Pier aren't bad, Rodeo Drive for shopping (or hahahahahaha shopping), if it's warm and you want to spend the afternoon doing nothing, go to Manhattan Beach and chill out, and there are a lot of great restaurants out here. You could go to downtown LA on Saturday morning to the fashion district for shopping... grab a meal at one of the Ivy restaurants (hollywood or santa monica) but be prepared to pay 26 bucks for a hamburger... the Getty Museum... |
If you can, see everything. Its a nice, long weekend :winkwink: strip clubs on 1rst place :)
|
Oh I forgot about the 'ghetto tour' -- you could drive around Inglewood, Compton and S Central ;)

You need to come hang out one weekend at the beach, work on your tan and all :) |
You can find a lot of action on the sunset strip . Also old town pasadena is a cool place to chill . If the weather is good go down to Manhattan Beach . City walk is a ok place to go to . Hope you have fun here in LA :thumbsup

.. on the subject of tours .. are they worth it? Doing a studio tour or view the homes of the stars kind of thing? I dont think thats what I'd want to spend my afternoon doing .. but if they're really fun it might be worth trying. |
I've never been there too:(

Well you can call me and I'll take you on the trademarked "KB Tour OF LA"
I do this tour 5 times a year when people come out fro back east- I go to every location where stars live- to where they died. Highlights include the OJ SIMPSON neighborhood, Nicole Brown's death scene on Bundy, The Chateau Marmont where Belushi died in Bungalow #3, Falcon's lair, The Manson Murder house on Cielo Dr, PLAYBOY MANSION, The Hollywood Sign, PINKS HOT DOG STAND, all the movie studios- The Ambassador Hotel where Bobby Kennedy bought the farm...Where Marvin Gaye got capped by his old man... Marilyn Monroes house- The Robert Blake / Bonnie Blaklely murder scene at Vitello's restaurant, the Brady Bunch House, the house form Poltergeist- The neighborhood where the shot ET- In Granada Hills and while i the valley a full on tour of all the porn companies and where they are located right next to each other- and so much more! I 's also hit Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles, a true LA landmark. |
strip clubs all da way

Butrflied, tell us what you like? I hate it when friends and relatives come to Los Angeles and expect me to show them around, and they don't tell me what they really want to do.
What KB described sounds like "The Graveline Tours." http://www.beverlyhillstourism.com/english/tours.htm It may sound corny, but the most fun I ever had was on this tour. If you are interested in the beach, go to Venice Boardwalk like others metnioned. Also, jump on a boat in Marina del Rey and take a boat tour of the area. Jump on a helicopter and go to Catalina. Go to Watts and see the Watts Tower. If you don't take the Hollywood/Beverly Hills Graveline Tour, then get into a car and drive down Sunset Boulevard from Hollywood to the Beach. Have lunch in Malibu at one of the beachfront restaurants. Go to an outside concert like the Greek. Go to a Dodger or Lakers' game, or check out the Hollywood Racetrack. Go to a TV show and watch it live like Leno or any number of talk shows or game shows. Go to Tower Records on Sunset Boulevard. You always see celebrities there. Check out some of the jazz clubs. Want old Hollywood? Check out Musso Frank's restaurant, in Hollywood, and go to downtown LA and visit ex-mayor Riordan's Restaurant. (what's the name?--it is the oldest restaurant in LA and it never closes iits doors?) Visit Olvera Street for authentic Mexican Food and lots of atmosphere. But if you could take an extra couple of days, you are a fool if you don't drive up the coast from LA to SF. San Francisco is where you should go. It makes Los Angeles look like a flatland ghetto, which it really is! DA COAST, DA COAST...........DRIVE TO SAN FRANCISCO |
