No surprise- the sound system here is fabulous. Here, you get the benefit of well-known DJs in a smaller, classy venue. Crowd can be mixed.

Getting Around

I rent bikes here because it is cheaper than I. Martin. I also do small bike fixes... but would trust I. Martin with bigger ones.

Essentials

I go here to get waxed and my nails done. Also good for those in need for a quick massage. Staff is super friendly. Can be busy on Sundays.

This is an American icon of a grocery brand. If you've never been, go. Quality and cheap. Always crowded like all TJ's. In CA, our TJ's sell alcohol and beer. Great prices.

I love the daytime rooftop parties here. If you can find one, RSVP and arrive early- they are usually free. AND-- you can use their pool. Perfect way to cool off in the summer. Offers a great view of downtown and may be a romantic nighttime spot during the midweek.

Major workout scene with people watching galore, up a fairly steep hill. Good, quick workout if you feel like being around people who care more about how they look when they work out. :)

Shopping

Iconic central market downtown used to be THE gathering place for all your grocery shopping needs. Now it is mostly hip eateries flanked by a few fruit and veggie stands.

What's better than a free, huge museum that overlooks most of LA? Nothing. Beat that, NYC and SF, with your expensive admission fees. It's worth just going for the view and a walk in the precious gardens. I also dig the rotating exhibitions.
