Things to do in LA (from a local)

3:30 PM

 can't believe i've been living here for roughly 2 years.
time passes fast, but at the same time i feel like i've been here my whole life - probably because of
growing up westernized, so didn't have to get used to any cultural differences and food.

public transportation isn't so practical (at all), so you better rent a car.
here are some of my favorite things i've done in los angeles:

1. Theme Parks

i went to Universal Studios twice with a yearly pass we bought at costco
(you need a membership to shop at costco tho).
definitely get a pass if you're planning to visit more than once if you actually enjoy going on rides,
'cause you certainly wont be able to get on all the rides in a day!


for Disneyland, they usually have deals in their app on certain dates, so be on the lookout for that.

2. Catch a Sports game



i love basketball so i enjoyed watching Lakers live so much!
(even tho i don't keep up with basketball shows or any games).
however if you're not a fan, you could consider this quite pricey,
you can catch other games like baseball instead (which is way cheaper depending on the teams).


 
3. Food Markets
 

angel's flight is a really short ride and honestly saying, not purposeful - unless you're just curious.
that being said, there is a market on the bottom of the train ride called Grand Central Market, which is worth to try, however there's nothing particular that makes me crave going back for.

 
on the other hand, a cafe that you should definitely visit is Porto's which is very popular and the lines are long daily.
no need to worry though, 'cause it moves pretty fast.

4. Art Museums





from top to bottom pictures:
The Broad - Huntington Galleries & Gardens - Getty.
 
my favorite would be Huntington Galleries since it's surrounded by nature,
you can even have a picnic there basically. 

 
 
 
5. Places to stroll

 The Grove is one of the prettier outdoor mals to shop.

if you're planning to drop by to LACMA, it's free around the popular lights area,
but there is an entrance fee inside.
i'll have to say it's not as astounding as it seems in pictures - just a small square of tall lights.



6. Secondhand books



this pretty little bookshop is located in Glendale, Lost Books.
a walkable area which is also full of restaurants for lunch.

7. Beaches


LA sunsets are superior.
this is in Huntington beach.
 

8. Music Concerts

 
how easy it is to catch your favorite artist's shows here!
