1. what type of neighborhoods are these motels in and are metro stations nearby i’m on a budget and have found a few deals for these spots. if you had to choose one where would you pick? and can you recommend any more decent places for under $90 a night in hollywood or downtown
hollywood downtowner inn
royal pagoda motel
comfort inn la/ n. vermont ave
ramada inn-universal
metro plaza hotel
days inn/hollywood
2. is there a shuttle bus that goes to griffith park observatory on the weekday i know there is one on the weekends.
3. how late does the metro run on the weekends and weekdays.
4. where are some of the best places to take photos of the skyline
5. what are some cool things to do or nice places to go that most tourist overlook
Axel, missed you in Detroit— that is a long question…I will try to answer part of it:
1. The shuttle used to run from the L.A. Zoo….better double check and see if that is still the program.
2. I personally don’t take the mta late at night
3. Many spots to take pics, but you have to check the weather and the smog..90% of mine come out like crap because of the haze…
4. Here is some stuff you might do in the area…
Try these things to see in L.A.—Have Fun—–>>>>>>>>>>>>
1.Eat at Pinks or Pinkberry or In and Out burger-In and Out has really good chesseburgers.
Their totally fresh French fries ironically I don’t like because they are too “crumbly”? I like McDonalds crispy French
Fries better (even though they are not fresh and are flash frozen. Pinks is OK but not worth a real long wait. They need to clean up and freshen up the street area a little.
2.Farmers Market at the Grove. Go to Charley’s Café in the Farmer’s Market. Go the closest booth to Fairfax. Charlie and Bob are great. Reasonable food at a reasonable price. Charlie is about a 50 year old female…..
