hey guys,

i'm from san jose and my gf and i are gonna go to socal for our 5 year. she really wants to go universal hollywood. we're gonna be there for few days. any really awe inspiring attractions or recreational things you guys suggest?

in all seriousness, i want to do something fun, memorable with her and not too expensive. we might roam hollywood as we've both never seen the "hollywood stars." i know those are cliche places which makes us very touristy, but any other suggestions? Thanks for the input guys. I want to make it fun for her.

 

hmm...you can take a walk at universal city walk. thats a nice spot and "romantic" i guess. heheh

well basically everythings in Hollywood. bars, clubs, anything you want its there. you'll definately have a great time.

 

oh...u can hit up rodeo drive or melrose too and santa monica 3rd st. promenade

 

make reservations to the Griffith Observatory. they just re-opened it after renovations. nice view...has the romantic quality you want. just up the hill from where the "walk of fame" stars and the grauman's chinese theater are (actually i think their shuttle picks ou up from there). check out the website. you can probably do a nice dinner in the area and go up or vice versa.

 

check out santa monica beach for a nice stroll on the pier and a romantic walk on the park afterwards...

 

Go watch 300 in IMAX at the Howard Hughes Center.

Like Quan said, Rodeo Drive (Beverly Hills), Melrose (shopping, LA), 3rd & Promenade (Santa Monica, shopping), Sunset Strip (W/Hollywood, dinner/dancing), City Walk at Universal City. I would even take a drive up to Mulholland Dr and check out the big homes. Good luck.

 

i'd check out these 3 places too since they all have awesome views. doesn't cost much and chicks dig it

a. $1 billion Getty museum

b. Westin Bonaventure Hotel(360-degree view of the city from the 34th floor at BonaVista Lounge) in Downtown LA

c. Shoreline Village in Downtown Long Beach

 

a. $1 billion Getty museum

Awsome Awsome Place, very beautifull

 

Everything is expensive here. Even the free stuff.

 

Before heading home, go over to Malibu and take Hwy 1 North. Beautiful sweeping views and the drive is great though not terribly long. Up around Port Huenme / Camarillo, you can cut back east to the 101 FWY and make your way back to the 5.

And if you must see Hollywood, go while it's daylight, before the vampires come out.

 

SPARRRRRRTAAAAA!!!

Is your best friend. And Universal Studios is whatevers, not that great but the surrounding area in Hollywood, Westside Los Angeles, etc are pretty cool.

hehe j.k

 

There are several very impressive museums in the L.A. area. Not likely to be forgotten.
