"The bike rental stand on the boardwalk next to the Rings sells hand chalk... you'll need it!"

"Go to La Vecchia; hang at the bar for happy hour (5-7pm M-F) and order any of their $5 pizza's and a $5 vino. Best happy hour in the city, but pretty popular, get their early to grab a seat :)"

"Go to the Sunday Market, find the Hungarian Sausage stand. Never a line and one of the best meals the market has to offer. Comes with a lemonade; best hangover cure ever."

"Go to LACMA, become a member and add 'MUSE' membership to your subscription. Get invites to cool after-hour parties, film fests etc. Annual Halloween Masquerade is amazing."

"Call Pac Coast Cleaners for bi-weekly full & fold laundry/dry cleaning delivery service. Larry the driver will swing by every Monday and Thursday to pick up and drop off. Cheap! No more laundromat :)"

"Go to Cora's; sit inside at the counter with an LA TIMES, and order the Burrata Caprese Omelette. And be sure to ask for the homemade Jams. Also outstanding: Orange Pancakes :)"
