LA is Forever

Whatever may take you to LA (acting ambitions, surfing craze, or escaping the Chicago blizzards), there are plenty of reasons to keep you there—forever.  The city is the envy of the nation in that there is so much to do whatever your kick!

Celebs Everywhere.  If you are a celebrity worshiper, there is not place to spot one like LA.  At every turn, you are likely to bump into a face you may recognize.  You can also see a movie star perform at one of our many clubs for under $10.  You just never know who you might see performing at the Virgil or at Largo at the Caronet.

Route 66.  The legendary early motorway may start in Chicago, but it ends at the Pacific near the scenic Santa Monica Pier.  Go and take a selfie and let the folks at home know you made it all the way to the end of the Route.

Grand Central.  Not the Station in NYC!  This one is the Grand Central Market where you can find authentic LA fare.  No, that’s not oxymoron.  Opened in 1917, Grand Central Market is still a treasured dining destination in a city proud of its eateries.  If you are not Lactose intolerant, don’t forget to stop at DTLA Cheese + Kitchen for a dairy overdose.

Shopping Mecca.  You want to shop until you drop but hate malls.  Well, shopping in LA feels like a day at the resort.  Most malls are outdoors surrounded with botanic splendors.  The trip to the mall will never again feel the same. 

Cars. Cars. More Cars.  Yes.  It’s true.  "New Yorkers don't have to spend upwards of three hours a day trapped in their cars. Walking! Ever heard of it? It's nice."  You’ll discover how lovely it is walking among the blossoming jacarandas this time of year. 

Food Trucks.  New York has its pretzel street vendors, but LA has culinary taco trucks.  Taco trucks gave birth to LA’s street food fares long before grilled cheese and lobster rolls were being sold at ever corner.  Give it a try.  You will be pleasantly surprised.  Stop by Ricky's Fish Tacos: The truck serves quite possibly the most famous fish tacos in the city.

Whitewater Rafting in LA?  That creek you see winding through the city is actually Los Angeles River and upstream, you can still get your adrenaline pumping on a sizeable stretch of the River. Ready to strap on a helmet and get wet?   Well, yes. Don’t expect the Colorado River!  After all, this is LA.

City Characters Everywhere.  Especially on Hollywood Boulevard.  The Batman, Cinderella and Elvis are live and well on the famed boulevard.  As are the tributes to all the stars on the sidewalks.     

The Stars Never Die.  They just change residences to Hollywood Forever Cemetery.  Or to Forest Lawn Cemetery.
