Ok I was a little overly harsh on L.A. in my earlier post because I had just passed Angelyne on La Cienega and I could see the metallic pink glitter from a mile away... here's a proper L.A. dedication list, just because I heart Alex Santana :)
Things I Love About L.A.
1. Gregarious War Veterans At Coffee Beans in Westwood Village, Picking on those credulous UCLA students!
2. LA Lakers. My favorite sports team forever! Above the Steelers for me! I was born the year Pat Riley made good on his promise of the two-peat in 1988 and have been an adoring fan ever since.
3. Troubadours @ Third Street Promenade
4. Those Wonderfully Massive EGOS we all have
5. Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. Because, like, Duhhh.
6. The LA Skyline at night. Or Even Better LANDING at LAX at night. It's one gigantic gorgeous Tron Board
7. Il Cielo on Burton with a date you really like.
8. Bar Marmont. There's a flippin shimmering PEACOCK on the wall! Nuff said.
9. Magic Johnson Movie Theatre- I had to check it out because all the cool kids were!! It is actually in the heart of a square of neighborhood juggernauts that consist of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Cash 4 Gold, Fatburger AND Louisiana Fried Chicken!!!
10. The Magic Castle! If you ever get invited to see a magic show here, DO IT~
11. Scary movies at Hollywood Forever Cemetery
12. HUNKY SANTA @ the Beverly Center
13. The Halloween Parades in West Hollywood and the Lovely Gentlemen who make it great
14. Equinox @ Sunset Plaza. And grilled chicken pesto paninis next door.
15. Eating Food to Sober Up at 2am while Observing MAC makeup in its melting state in florescent lighting at K24
Chicken and Waffles is the bomb. You can get some good ones in Harlem. I go to a spot on Long Island that does a good job with them too
ReplyDeletehell yes they are! the one on Pico in LA is straight hood, too
ReplyDeleteI've only been to LA once,while visiting a good friend in Santa Barbara.We visited Malibu,Santa Monica Pier,Venice Beach and saw a Dodger game.Now I've got a good list for my next visit.I definitely want to delve more deeply into the LA underbelly and see what makes her tick.I want to take a big bite and feel her juices run down my chin.
ReplyDeletethanks Mike, xo, i'll keep em more consistent for you ;)
ReplyDeleteLoL! Fatburger - sometimes I miss LA.
ReplyDeleteBut everybody needs to change it up sometime. Hope you find success beyond your wildest dreams. I did.
