Visiting LA

[Inky29]

I've got to run out to LA for a few days and will have plenty of down time. I've never been there before, what are some places that I have to visit or eat?

If you’re into like the old school classic places I’ll give you a few.

Philippe (original French dip), Dan Tana (Italian), golden Bull (steak), factors deli, Cielito lindo (rolled tacos), pinks (hot dogs)

Take a drive through skid row. You gotta see it to believe it.

Is it better at night?

I would avoid it at night based on what I saw during the day.

Take a drive north up highway 1 for sure. Its spectacular.

Go to a weed shop then go back to your hotel and door dash. LA is the worst city in the country.

I’d add. Take the amount of time you think it will be to drive from one place to another and at least double it.

Yeah, I drive in DFW all the time but I hear it's even worse in LA.

LA sucks, but those calling it the worst city in the country have obviously never been to Houston or Frisco. Hit up Santa Monica, hike at the Griffith Observatory, check out Venice Beach, Malibu, and Rodeo Drive. Maybe drive around old Hollywood. It sucks overall but it is still fun and in the most geographically gifted state in the union.

Make sure to see Skid Row also.

Way worse, especially some of the places mentioned above like old Hollywood.

I would add Musso and Frank to that list. Over 100 yr's at this point, featured in any number of books, tv shows and movies.

Morton's Prime Rib and just across the street, the Stinking Rose (if you love garlic and if they've reopened.)

The first is in "Old" Hollywood and #2 & #3 are in Beverly Hills.

You dead OP?

Nope, had to push the trip back for a few months because of a family illness situation. Still planning on going but may not be until next fall now.
