Going to be in L.A. for 4 days...
Ill be in town on a real estate deal...collecting signatures and seeing a few friends.
What are some MUST see things in LA? I know theres a lot of Westies on this forum so please chime in!
Im into sight seeing. Im already checking out some of the spots my favorite movies have been filmed at. I got my Six Flags and Universal Studies passes.
What are some great spots to check out in the LA area? Is the pacific coast highway pretty cool for getting a great view of the ocean? What are the best beaches for swimming?

Go check out santa monica blvd (3rd street).
Some ghetto famous eating places in LA area:
Pinks Hotdogs (melrose & labrea) and Roscoes Chicken n Waffles (Pico & La Brea).
A couple of nice restaurants on La Cienega blvd.
I think at Pantages thater ...Wicked is playing right now?
Hollywood bowl is really nice!! make sure you bring a gal though..
You can always check out a dodger game!
There are some bad areas in LA/hollywood. Just stay where the lights are and not those dark corners or streets.
be sure to say hi to my homies on 18th street..theyre real nice!

i wrote this for another member who was asking about LA for his visit... hope it helps
take pacific coast highway/hwy 1 and drive up from long beach to malibu.. especially on a weekend. you're bound to see as many exotics as your heart desires, plus it's a beautiful drive.
if you're here on a sunday, check out supercar sunday
http://supercarsunday.com/
come to hollywood and watch a movie at the arclight theatre. make sure to come early enough to have dinner at their restaurant, too. best fries ever.
check out hollywood and highland, and that whole strip of hollywood blvd. everything "hollywood" is there... grauman's chinese theatre...el capitan.. kodak theatre.. the stars.. ripley's believe it or not.. plus all the fake "designer" crap you'd ever want
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_Blvd
http://hollywoodandhighland.com/
not even for the shopping, but for the insane architecture.
yeah it's kind of touristy crap but hey, even the locals enjoy a day of walking around there.... street performers, etc.
check out third street promenade in santa monica.
for a more 'local's' destination, go to old town pasadena. i dont know if you're into museums, but the norton simon museum there is beautiful.
in fact, if you ARE into museums, MAKE SURE TO GO TO THE GETTY CENTER. it's free, just $5 or something for parking. it's ****ing amazing.
and if you're REALLY into museums, go to the OLD getty villa, in malibu. even more ****ing amazing.
if you've got a good car, rental or otherwise, hit some twisties. either in the malibu/santa monica hills, or angeles crest. you'll love it, trust me.

YES wicked is playing at the pantages.. GO SEE IT!!!
perfect time for hollywood bowl. check out their summer concert series. a few $ for parking, $5 or $10 tickets for nosebleed seats [if you're going for a concert you really don't need to sit any closer].. pack a picnic basket [alcohol IS allowed!] and enjoy the music under the stars. definitely take a girl.. or some friends. http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/calendar/calendar.cfm

Don't forget the Huntington Library if you are in Pasadena. (No its not a library).
I would also suggest picking up a newspaper and finding some independent films. They are hit or miss, but unique to the area.
Agree on Wicked, Hollywood Bowl, etc.
I would not miss some Korean Bar-B-Que in K-town. I would recommend the pace on the corner of Western and Connecticut. Look for the big black on yellow sign in all Korean. Parking is valet in the back. You can't miss it. It is a younger crowd--mostly all Korean. It's pronounced MU-DUNG-SAN.
