Holden McGroin 4855 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I've booked a trip to Yooo-S-A again with a mate and I am spending 3 days in LA. Anyone been? Need to know where to stay and what to do! I quite fancied watching LA Galaxy play but they are away that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19822 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) I'd stay around Santa Monica or Venice. Plenty of cool bars, resturants, shops etc - hang out on 3rd street promenade, venice beach and Main street. Avoid the tourist tat on Hollywood blvd. Go for a drive up Mullholland. A walk around Griffith park for a good view of the Hollywood sign. A drive up the PCH is a must but you need more than three days for that.

Gemmill 34441 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Aye, stay in SantaMonica, as mentioned. If you want to head to the beach, Zuma Beach is canny from what I remember. Definitely have a wander down the Venice boardwalk, to see all the freaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34441 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 If you're doing anything remotely cultural, this is well worth a visit: http://www.museumoftolerance.com/site/c.tmL6KfNVLtH/b.4865925/k.83A7/Whats_Happening_at_the_MOT.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 4855 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Cheers guys. Looking at the prices, it doesn't seem to get a lot of value for money in hotels in LA. Santa Monica looks decent but I guess we'll have to check out Hollywood Boulevard etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally 0 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 We're just booking our honeymoon to America later in the year. Doing New York, Las Vegas and then travelling up California -all over 3 weeks. We are undecided whether to stick Chicago in for a couple of days, has anyone been and is it worth bothering with?

Chicago's nice like, plenty to look at like the aquarium. Depends how much time you've got spare but I enjoyed the weekend I spent there, if you go make sure you try a Chicago style pizza.

Gemmill 34441 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Chicago's nice, but I would stick with what you've got. You'll feel like you're cramming too much in, and as nice as Chicago is, there'll be tons to do in the other places you're off to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 By the way when Galaxy are away Chivas USA are usually at home, they stadium share if you're not just going to see Becks/Landon. Also the Dodgers will probably be playing when you're there if you're into that. Venice Beach is supposed to be cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Venice beach is full of weirdos. Worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or go see San Diego Flash, coached by none other than Warren Barton and have a Geordie involved in the setup @iwantcurlyhair2 from twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
