I am taking a friend to visit LA for his 1st time. We have 3 days. I've been many times myself with my kids, but 1st time in a long time on a buddy trip. I want to show him the best of LA without resorting to my usual stops.

I am searching out art, good eats, trippy shit, record stores, cool drinks spots that are NOT craft beer based, some Hollywood historical shit (not tourist traps) that only weirdos like me think of (like where Neil Young lived in Laurel Canyon.)

I am sure FM Enframed has some spots.

Do you have the dates? I'll be around for sure. I've only been here 2 years (almost) but have some good bars, food, record shops. We gotchu. In which part of town you staying? I'll pm ya.

June 23-25th. basically Wednesday afternoon through saturday AM

I am taking a trip to Los Angeles in October and would appreciate any and all recommendations, tips, etc. Other than one day I spent there in 2002, this is my first time there.

how long are you going to be, and what kind of things do you like? (ie: do you drink, are you vegan etc. etc.)

I should be around. Would be down to meet up (with TylerDeadPine as well). There's so much to do and see...

I live in San Diego *looks around*. It’s the best part of LA!

Yes, I should probably give a few more details. My GF and I will be there 5 days (I believe). We like art, music, food. Gonna hit the big museums I think (Getty, Huntington Library, LAMOCA) and Griffith Park.

We have tickets to see Joni Mitchell at the Hollywood Bowl. (I'm indifferent to JM but by GF is a big fan and there probably won't be too many other chances to see her.)

No dietary restrictions and we're interested in local favorites. We would like to eat at one bougie/fine dining place, I guess, because this is a celebration of sorts. I've heard good things about Providence but I don't know anybody whose eaten there. We're staying in Highland Park

Interested too in good record/book shops, weird or vibey parts of LA. I dunno, this is vague. Also open to meeting up if it's easy for all parties.

I’ve only been there once. No recommendations but we ate bugs at a mole place in koreatown!

I'll report back with some recs later.

I hope to meet up with you while you are here, I'm pretty flexible.
