There are no bars, no nightclubs, no shopping centers / malls, anything of that sort. It's mainly a massive business district and on the weekend, because all of the businesses are closed, it's like a ghost town around there. Not a human being in sight. I don't know how much this has changed now that there is all that junk at Staples with the LA Live stuff, but Downtown LA is definitely one of the most boring places I've ever been. I stayed at the Grand on Wilshire Blvd on my first trip to the US, definitely was not what I was expecting I guess I am a bit confused, could you narrow down a location that makes most sense? Thanks. I'm not from there, so I'm honestly not too sure. If you want nightclubs, bars, shopping stuff like that, you'd be best to stay around the Sunset/Hollywood/Beverly Hills areas. Try posting in the regional forums as well. You usually get a better response in them. This dude has no idea what he is talking about there is a ton of things to do in Downtown LA. There are a lot of bars and cafes opening up in every corner now. Some art exhibits here and there and a bunch of fly chicks walking around. There is the art walk which is basically a bunch of chicks walking around drunk and @%%%....fun. There are also good spots to eat like Philippes and all those old school sandwhich joints. There is a lot of unique spots but it really depends what your into. If you want clubs then I would suggest going to Hollywood. Everything is pretty spread out though because there is not one single place where you can find everything. Cheap weed in downtown too from dispensaries. Its really poppin now and days.... cant wait til summer You can even stay in Torrance and just drive to wherever you want to go. Its really not that far from all the spot. again this dudeMitchellicious has no idea.. and honestly sounds like a square. LA

He's a law school student, and hes very knowledgeable about the area and how to show me a good time, but i just want to get some ideas before I get there to kind of excite me. Short trip(only going to be there two to three days) so I want to cram some greatness in. Bar thing one day maybe hiking same day or another day, and some other stuff. Not trying to thread jack, but im also not trying to start a new thread.

Can a cab or rail hurt our wallet too much if we hang around santa monica, hollywood, downtown, k-town, wilshire? We're just trying to find some interesting things to do. For the most part, I just wanna booze, eat, and relax. "I don’t shake substitutions' hands” -Ron Artest

For the most part, I just wanna booze, eat, and relax. short answer. YES. i dont take cabs much myself... usually only if i am drinking locally and am gonna get too s-faced to drive home. my usual cab trip consists of me going from the bars down in Washington Square/Venice Beach area back to my house (which is about a 3-4 mile drive). With tip its easily a $15-20 fare and maybe a 10 minute drive. regarding your questions about weed dispensaries, I dont know the legality of it if you are an out of state resident. Since I was born and raised in CA, it never crossed my mind to find out whether out of towners can get weed rec's or not. You might be able to find that info on google. Or if you are in the area, maybe we can go grab a beer at a bar that happens to be next to the dispensary that I go to. You buy the beer.

There are some nice bars in hermosa. If you're trying to sightsee, then decide. You will need to drive, there is the metro, but that's only good for LA. Have you discussed anything with your homie?

Just let me know where you will be an I will try to point you in the right direction. theres this sportsbar right by house in Marina Del Rey that has a decent selection on tap including Dogfishhead 90min IPA and its not that expensive (I think its like $10 for a 22oz mug). Word to the wise, do NOT attempt to drink 4 of these within the span of 1 NFL game on an empty stomach, and then yell out in a drunken stupor in front of all of your wife's coworkers that you're going to punch your wife in the face because youre so upset that your team lost. not that i know from experience or anything. WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE RIGHT? HAHAHAHA as for the dispensaries. u need a medical card for that homie.

Not trying to thread jack, but im also not trying to start a new thread. Santa Clara/San Jose (I put a / because the two cities are right next to each other and even within each other. People from that area will know what I mean ), and all the cities you're gonna be around are basically the suburbs of SF. They're nice places to live but a little boring in terms of nightlife. And since you have to drive everywhere (public transportation sucks in the South Bay) it's hard to get the motivation to go clubbing and @#$% when you know you have to drive back. However, there are good spots nearby in Santana Row,SJ. Its like a more expensive version of downtown, but the women So many fine Persian girls and white girls. Rosie Mcann's is the best bar/club there, but just getting dinner there is fun too. Check out Thea; it's a Mediterranean Restaurant with hookah and a bar. It's expensive, but like I said, I always see fine Greek/Persian/Indian girls there so it's worth it sort of . There are beaches in the Bay Area, but the most fun you'll have at a beach is in Santa Cruz (25-30 min drive from Santa Clara). If you want to go Hiking, there's Mission Peak in Fremont (15 minute drive). Gotta warn you though, Fremont is boring as @#$% Go to SF since you're already close. Drive up to Millbrae, park for free, buy a $10 Bart Pass and hit up the Union Square area in SF. Raiders/Warriors/Giants/Cal/F.C.

I understand, but had thought, higher end hotels to be more safe, and have more things in the vicinity. I udnerstand what you mean though. I'll definitely PM you.and retell me the story of your friend gorilla hugging, and getting slapped but not retaliating. i bet the story is gonna be fun when blazed. loolz "I don’t shake substitutions' hands” -Ron Artest
