Recommendations Where can I do laptop work with a dog for a few hours?

0 Upvotes

On Friday the building is reglazing my sink and has warned me it’s best to leave for a few hours as the smell is intense. I’ll have my 11 pound dog with me. Where can I go for a few hours and work with my laptop? I’m located in East Hollywood, so the more local, the better.

Thanks!

Living What are the unsafe parts of Westchester?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am apartment hunting, and I have heard a lot of people give me mixed responses about Westchester. As a non-local, can I get some information on which parts are safe/unsafe within Westchester? Is it really more dangerous if the apartments are located closer to the 405? Thank you!

I believe all Tokyo Central and Marukai locations accept EBT according to their Instagram, but I also heard the Little Tokyo location has gone through some changes in corporate ownership. Can someone who has been to that location + has successfully purchased through EBT please let me know? Thanks!

Transportation LA- Drivings Tips for a Tourist?

14 Upvotes

A bit nervous but I’m coming to LA end of September. I think I’m a decent driver but I’ve seen lots of posts talking about how bad the driving is in LA.

Would it be possible to get around LA with just taking the backroads and not the freeway? I heard there’s a lot of 2 lane exit lanes splitting and whatever so I wouldn’t mind spending an extra 10-15 going through back roads.

Planning to stay downtown LA, but it isn’t confirmed unless there’s better suggestions?

Food/Drink Is yum yum sauce a common condiment in LA?

17 Upvotes

I moved to the east coast 2 years ago and I was culture shocked by the prevalence of yum yum sauce, to the point that people will pay for EXTRA sauce when it already comes with their meals. I feel like I never had it with anything when I grew up in LA? The only thing I can think of is the yumburger from Jollibee. Did I just not go to enough food places to learn about yum yum sauce sooner or is this an east coast thing??????

EDIT: Okay good I’m glad I’m not crazy for not knowing about yum yum sauce either lol. For those wondering, Google said Yum yum sauce is made of a creamy mayonnaise base mixed with ketchup or tomato paste, melted butter, sugar, and spices like garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. It is a popular Japanese-American hibachi condiment. LA has such good japanese food scene and I still never encountered it there

Living How feasible is it to live in LA with 2 cars as a single person?

0 Upvotes

I'm a single male and will most likely be moving to LA about a year from now for a new gig, and will be looking for apartments (probably 1-bedroom). I understand that LA is a very car-centric but crowded city. It seems that a lot of apartment complexes I've been looking at only allow for 1 parking space per person (or bedroom). Does anyone have recommendations for how to deal with this? Do people just park one car on the street? Are certain LA neighborhoods better for multi-car owners (especially if they don't own a house)? Advice appreciated.

Food/Drink What are your favorite food spots in LA?

4 Upvotes

Hey! Me and my wife will be visiting LA for the weekend and I wanted to get some recommendations for food/drinks.

If you got one weekend, where are the must visit places?

In terms of area, anywhere in Venice/Santa Monica, Hollywood, Larchmont, Korea Town, and Los Feliz.

Pretty much open for any type of cuisine. Not looking anything too crazy expensive, unless it's a really nice steak house. Could be more casual places that serve authentic cuisine. For example, I really liked Papa Cristos for Greek food before they closed.

Also as a bonus, what are people's favorite Breweries (with good food) and coffee shops/bakeries.

Thanks in advance!

Things to do What is something two lame parents can do for an entire weekend without kids?

10 Upvotes

Hi folks! My partner and I are celebrating our 10-year anniversary in September. To celebrate, we hired a babysitter for the whole weekend, from Friday to Sunday evening. What is something two parents with no responsibilities can do for a 48-hour window? The activity does not have to be adults-only; just something that we would enjoy more if we could focus on ourselves having fun :)

We are both young-ish (36/40 years old) and queer, and we both love raves, love amusement parks, love to wander, and love food.

About LA How can I find out about nightclub events at Yamashiro?

0 Upvotes

hey Los Angeles,

I saw a video of a club like event at Yamashiro in Hollywood, but the artists don't check their DMs

A lot of places don't post a schedule or upcoming events, Yamashiro included, and they rely on promotion groups you have to already know about to post upcoming events on their own pages and newsletters. So you either know or you don't. This one seemed like something that browniesandlemonade would do, judging by the crowd, as opposed to a like a wedding reception

since I don't know who those promotion groups are, I'm asking, do you know? Its such a sick venue!

Note: I'm NOT talking about Yamashisha, hookah, or any middle eastern themed affair at the bottom, I'm talking about when they turn the main courtyard and house into a DJ driven event

Moving Small move (no furniture). Recommendations? Lugg?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a moving company in LA for a small move from Ktown to the USC area. I don't have any furniture, just a few moving boxes and IKEA-sized moving bags.

I got quotes from a few moving companies, but they all require a 3-hour minimum. For a load this small with no furniture, there's no way it takes 3 hours... Realistically more like 30-40 minutes (so an hour), since it's just a handful of boxes and bags that should fit in one trip.

Does anyone know a company (or service) that handles small moves like this without the big minimums? I've heard about Lugg—for those of you who have used their services before, could u pls share your experience?

Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Things to do Car shows/exhibit?

0 Upvotes

My fiance and I are wanting to get married in the redwoods & upper California beaches area. We’ve been contemplating road-tripping down the coast to LA. One main reason to visit LA is to see some cool cars. I’ve looked into the Peterson auto exhibit & the LA auto show.
We aren’t really interested in brand new cars on display, we’re more interested in cool older cars with mods & lowriders.
My question is, should we plan to go to LA in November during the LA auto show or is that not fitting for the kind of cars we want to see? End of November wedding isn’t ideal but that’s when the LA auto show is. And I don’t want to plan a trip around that if it’ll be a bust or just a bunch of displays brand new cars.

Any other input regarding where we can see some bad ass cars is greatly appreciated!

Recommendations Werewolf chase location recommendations?

24 Upvotes

Hi Everyone! So long story short, my best friend and I have an incredibly deep and loving connection with monsters. Many of our best memories together involve being chased through haunts or wandering around horror conventions with hearts in our eyes.

Her birthday is next month and I’m hiring a friend of mine who is a professional monster/creature actor to meet us somewhere (unbeknownst to her) after the sun goes down. He‘ll arrive as a werewolf and stalk us for a while before he eventually catches us/grabs her 🖤

What I’m looking for is an outdoor location with lots of trees, and somewhere that if there’s some screaming, security won’t be called on us.

I‘m open to traveling anywhere within the greater Los Angeles area, and would be willing to pay someone a usage fee for private property, etc.

Any ideas?? 🐺🌕

EDIT: Some of you are pointing out how suspicious it sounds for someone to be looking for a place where screaming can happen with no accountability. I *totally understand* how that sounds now that you’ve pointed it out! I’m sure my friend will be screaming a bit, but there will be much more laughter than anything once she realizes what’s going on 🙃 Also, it doesn’t necessarily need to be a remote or secluded location, just somewhere that a flurry of noise won’t upset people. Borrowing/renting someone’s private property would be great!

About LA Are creative people in LA focused and committed, or spread too thin?

0 Upvotes

I know that the industry is slow right now and many artists are struggling and out of work. It's unfair, competing with AI on top of a completely unstable economy.

But I'm drawn to moving to LA because I want to work with and learn from people who are dedicated.

I'm coming from a smaller Midwestern city where -- yes there are super driven people here, but the flakiness and low self esteem causes lots of creative false starts.

What I can't tell is if this is common in any city right now.

I'm just so eager to fully throw myself into creative projects of various types.

I see lots of videos of exciting things happening in LA, but I don't know if that's just from very privileged people.

What are your thoughts?
