Good list by Jeffy. Expanding upon it: the Getty Center and/or the Griffith Observatory are musts... they are the two best views of Los Angeles. Grauman's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd is a big tourist attraction, so is Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Wander around Venice Beach on a weekend and yo…

This is probably the best option to get from Los Angeles International Airport to Carpinteria/Santa Barbara/Goleta and vice versa. A one-way ticket is $42 and a round trip $80, if it is purchased online. On the bus, they would cost $46 and $86. You can also get a discount depending on how many peopl…

If you're right in the city and have to choose between Universal and Knotts, go to Universal, for sure! It is a lot scarier. The cast and the people who work there are also really into it (I know because I used to work there for the holiday parade, and the staff really enjoys being a part of the act…

"Safe" in terms of crime or in terms of water quality? There's no need to worry about crime at any of the beaches, though I'd be mildly cautious about walking around certain parts of Venice or Santa Monica beaches at night. If I'm not mistaken, the worst ocean water quality in town is in parts of Ma…

If you love birds as much as I do and even have a few of your own, Omar's is definitely the place to go. They not only sell all types of birds (most of which are kept out of their cage, enabling visitors to handle them) and bird supplies, but also is one of the cleanest, most reputable places I've …

So after going to your typical supermarket I generally feel very spent. There's like 40 different varieties of pasta sauce. Everything LOOKS like it is on sale. The line's are long and the service generally ambivalent. I don't know why I ever go to them...
Trader Joe's is a chain of grocery s…

The Upright Citizen's Brigade (U.C.B.) Theater on Franlkin Ave. in Hollywood is always fun.

1)If you like shopping and want to see the funky side of LA you must go to Melrose to shop.

Quest says:
As part of my adventure in California last summer, I had to find my way from Woodland Hills down to Newport Beach in Orange County. I thought it would be difficult, due to the fact that I didn't know HOW!
I desided to call the Metro (this was early Sunday morning) and they were very helpful in t…

I've had to go Europe a number of times recently and find myself constantly struggling with getting there the easiest way possible.

So LA has a lot of fun things to do. If you want a real tourist experience, I would highly recommend either Universal Studios or Disneyland. Universal is my personal pic, because there are lots of different things to do and the city walk is a great place, with a ton of restaurants, shops, movie…

This is one of the hidden gems of LA. It's a little out of the
way but well worth it for anyone wanting to get away and bond with
nature. The hike leaves from the Circle X trailhead on the border
