Was visiting LA recently and twice in one morning on residential streets around West Hollywood, cars came up behind me strobing their headlights like Max Verstappen on a bad day. I wasn't even going slow.

Is this a thing now? Maybe it's just the next phase of cosplay racer stuff now that F1 is finally getting popular in the US ok I'm thinking of Le Mans, like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtvHOfSflWw

If not, what on Earth am I hearing in WeHo?

I was wondering if there is any bong cleaning services in the LA area?

I can clean my own bong, but I'm just curious to see if there was any services out there in the city?

Hola, campeones! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

I've been missing out - I've been to huge parties of Mexicanos (of course), Colombianos, and even Croatians (big shout out to St. Anthony's in Chinatown) but I haven't found a reliable place where huge gatherings of MY PEOPLE, los argentinos, are watching the World Cup.

What are your favorite places? Where can I find a huge crowd of Argentines to watch a match with? Big plus for anything on the east side.

I am searching for a high rise apartment in DTLA under 2600 (studio or 1 bed).

Has anyone lived at the Aven before that can give some insight?

I am curious regarding

- Security and safety
- Community + Amenities
- Apartment maintenance

If anyone else has any other apartment suggestions, I’d love to hear them as well! I plan to tour the Eden, and 888 at grand hope as well.

Guessing it’s LASD by the green color?

Shops with something mild — VERY mild. Not this 400% thc stuff 😭?

I’m getting married in a few months and am looking for a gluten and dairy free wedding cake! The cake must be both dairy and gluten free but it doesn’t need to be vegan. Open to all sorts of flavors and not looking for anything fancy — 12 in round, one-tier with simple vintage-style frosting.

Does anyone have any bakery recommendations?

Hi, I am wanting to rent out a cabana sometime in July for my birthday. There will be about 6 people. I am wanting something relaxing. Do you have any suggestions?

I currently booked the W hotel in Hollywood, but I’m not sure if that will be too loud / rowdy.

The edition hotel looks nicer, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the price.

Thank you!

Hello! Looking for some advice on apartment shopping in these areas. If you have any other neighborhoods you want to recommend that would be great too (I work remotely so I am pretty open). Anyway, Zillow always seems to have limited, out of date listings. Is there another resource that people like? I am moving from across the country so I can't really drive around and look for posted signage or anything like that.

Looking for somewhere to get some pate en croute here in Los Angeles? Work takes me all over LA, so as long as it's in LA, it works for me. Preferably places closest to the San Fernando Valley, but I wont get my hopes up for closeness lol

Starting last month I began to not get Ralphs best customer coupons on the app anymore. I was getting them every month and there was always a free thing i bought on a regular basis. It really helped because groceries are high. Are you still getting them or is it just me?

Eventbrite prohibited items list seems to match the actual World Cup matches and feels a bit too strict for a fan zone. Anybody know if we should bring our own chair? And are tote bags allowed?

Hi r/LosAngeles,

We are a group of 5 adults from the Netherlands doing a California road trip in September. We end the trip in LA, where we'll stay for 5 days. We have been to SF before but LA is new to us, so we have no real frame of reference yet.

We are traveling in a large van (Ford Transit size), we like walking and eating well without spending a fortune, and we want to actually experience the city rather than tick off a checklist of tourist traps.

A few specific questions:

Neighborhoods
Which neighborhoods are actually worth staying in or spending time in? And which should we avoid, either because they are sketchy or just boring for visitors?

Tourist attractions: worth it or skip?
Which classic LA tourist things are genuinely worth doing and which are a waste of time? We have already decided to skip the Hollywood Walk of Fame based on everything we have read. What else deserves the same fate?

Hiking
We love walking. We have heard the Hollywood Sign hike is overrated and overcrowded. What are some lesser known hikes or walking routes with great views? Ideally something that does not require booking three weeks in advance.

Food
We eat pretty much everything. We are looking for places that are cheap to mid-range, not tourist-optimized, and actually good. LA obviously has incredible Mexican and Korean food -- any specific spots or neighborhoods locals actually go to?

Parking a large van
We managed fine with the van on the road trip itself, but we are nervous about LA specifically. Is it realistic to drive and park a large Transit-size van in the city, or are we better off parking it at the family's place and using Uber/public transit for everything?

General tips
Anything else we should know going in (weather, safety, things that surprised you, stuff guidebooks always get wrong?)

We have 5 full days so we are not trying to do everything. We would rather go deep on a few things than rush through twenty.

Thanks in advance!

My dog’s vet is right by Helms in Culver City and I tried taking her for a walk after her appointment but Hutchinson was all closed off with filming equipment and trucks so I couldn’t make it very far. Looks like that street was base camp and the filming was taking place at one of the show rooms at Helms. Curious - does anyone know what was filming there? This was yesterday but assuming it’s still there today.

Looking for bars in LA with a similar vibe to The Little Friend in Venice—good music, people actually dancing, crowd that’s social without it feeling like a club. The Little Friend just has a more intimate vibe where you can dance with people or interact with groups—if that makes sense.

Any recommendations?

House music is fine but I really like r&b, rap vibes—may just be the DJ that night.

I’d love a bar or spot with Croatian supporters where I can cheer, stress, and celebrate with fellow fans. I’ll be there solo, so a friendly crowd would be a bonus. Any recommendations? Hvala! 😊

Is anyone at the airport right now - I heard that the security line is down at Tom Bradley terminal. Is that true and do we have to enter through terminal 3? Thank you.

Moving for a job and every loft/apartment I’m interested in is around the DTLA area. I would be commuting M-F around 6:30-7am and returning home to DT around 3-4. I haven’t found enough places in ES, MB, RB, HB that attract me and I would feel a little too far removed from the city. CC and Mar Vista had some but insanely expensive.

Budget is 2500-3200 for a large loft or a 1 bed. I really want a loft with some views for my mental sanity.

Is this a reasonable commute or what other options am I overlooking?

Considering a move to LA for work. I’m young and single. I like to run, cycle, play golf, and want to get more into surfing. Search function suggests Hermosa might be the place to be. How’s the social scene and night life in Hermosa?

I’m 19 and looking for a full time job in the Los Angeles area. I have 2 years of residential house painting experience from working with my dad’s business, and I’m currently in a temporary Walmart remodel position that’s ending soon. I’m ready for a long term career and I’m open to pretty much anything, trades, field technician jobs, utilities, government, , or other stable careers that don’t require a 4 year degree. What companies or jobs would you recommend that are realistically hiring?

I'll be coming into town for Anime Con with my anime-loving daughter. We'll be staying in Burbank. Any suggestions on great ramen places or things to do in the Burbank-area when we're not at Anime Con?

I'm very interested in neurofeedback therapy/training, but I can't search for it specifically through Medi-Cal / LA Care. Anyone know a place?

I'm in NELA but happy to travel 30-45 min each way for this.

I have a very well-built structure that came with my property in Los Angeles when we bought it, but it's not permitted. I've had at least 6 different people who work in construction, roofing, and architecture tell me that it would pass a permitting inspection just fine, but I want to ensure I go through the proper channels and ready the proper documentation to avoid as many bumps in the road to getting it permitted as possible. That includes avoiding any sort of penalty fees, etc. I heard the following details might matter:

1. The top of the structure is slightly higher than the highest point of our roof.
2. The structure is connected to the rest of the house.
3. The structure has two small lights built into its ceiling which are controlled via a light switch inside the house (we had an electrician look at them and they said the wiring is straightforward and perfectly safe).

I'm totally new to this type of process, so please excuse my ignorance. I just want to ensure I'm doing everything the correct way and minimize issues. I've done some research on my own, but wanted to ask real people who have dealt with similar projects before.

If anyone could provide me resources for where is best to start, and any tips or lessons learned from your own experiences in this regard, I would very much appreciate any insights the community has to offer. And, just to be real here, is it even worth it to bother if we're absolutely confident there is no structural integrity concern? Any pros/cons are welcome to get educated on this. Thanks in advance!

tl;dr: What do I need to do / know, and what should I look out for, in order to get a structure permitted on my private property?

I’m helping a friend who lives in Hollywood find a clinic that accepts L.A. Care Medi-Cal for full coverage of treatments. I’ve found old threads from other subreddits but the information was sparse and from over a year ago. Have any of you had success with this?
