Things to do in LA

I'm going to LA tonight and will be there through Wednesday night.

You guys have any suggestions on things to do while I'm there?

I'll be at work 8-5 but then have the evenings to do w/e. I'm staying in downtown off of South Figueroa.


Thanks!

since ur downtown u could hit up lil tokyo, the food is really good there.

or you can go to a strip club

don't go chinatown, place smells like piss and quality of everything is shit. Except they have 2 car stores there at the very front of the street (forgot what street) but they sell JDM stuff and rims and other crap.

or go to The Grove and have yourself a nice sandwich over at the farmers market there.

or visit The Americana, if you get bored the mall is right across the street.

The beaches are really close, I recommend Santa Monica. Venice is also nearby, but a lot of crazy people and pot/pot smokers.

Nice! Keep them coming guys, really just looking for some nice spots to go grab a drink, with work buddies. I don't think I'll be able to go to the touristy places since I'll be at work during the day.

Orochon Ramen in little tokyo

All you can eat KBBQ places in Koreatown

For drinking at some cool places, just go to L.A. Live.

You can always go to Drai's Social Wed night. I think they still have it. Pretty nice club over the weekends. LA Live is always a winner.

Not to mention the drive up to Griffith is quite fun as well. Lots of turns and curves. It's no GMR, but the roads are still great. And remember, if you choose to do this, do with with caution and safety first!

Regarding places to go eat, try Father's Office. It's a gastropub with a great selection of beers on tap and their Office Burger is by far the best one I've ever had!
