Sunset Boulevard

Answer 4

I live in LA, and think you should try something that isn't so touristy, something that locals like to do. My favorite is the Farmers' Market which is in mid-LA, next to the Grove. It's on Fairfax and 3rd Street.

It's an informal place with lots of mom and pop food and trinket stalls. Great food like middle eastern, chinese, mexican, etc. And a great place for people watching.

When you want to go upscale, walk next door to The Grove.

Answer 5

Answer 9

LA is Louisiana. L.A. is Los Angeles. You might get more answers using the proper acronymn. But I know Louisiana, not Los Angeles, so I'm not able to answer your question.
