I've been living in LA for more than 21 years and I did not know most of these places. Great guide!

[blackswanvante]

You can’t forget the flower/fashion district :)) and Santee Alley it’s fun to splurge on random cheap things there

[reginaoyco]

Finally! A decent video!! Awesome job!

[laurencedean]

This was I am 71 and a native. You took me to so very many NEW places and revisited so many of my favorites. BTW Clifton's open in 1935. I with my parents ate there often starting for me at age 3. Many locations have been in other films than Blade Runner. But I love what you did and have watched twice now. Bravo.

Love this one. I love how u edit your stuff. Packed with info and never unnecessarily too long

[Mahalo]

Thank you for this great video! I want to check every single places you are talking about. Your voice and speech are really clear. The video is really enjoyable!

Growing up and living in LA you forget how amazing our home is. Thanks for giving me some new places to check out, I’ve been to most of your recommendations but there’s a few new ones you’ve open my eyes to. 👍🏽

The ramen spot you mentioned is amazing also the intercontinental is absolutely beautiful and the food was A+ with the best view in Los Angeles.

Been living in LA for 2 years now and I must admit that i really need to go out and see more of LA. Thanks!

[katietesta]

I love your videos! We are very frugal and have little kids so I love that you include things that are almost free, food related, and easy to walk around. The kids would love these places.

The monthly downtown art walk is another great event. Happens first Thursday of every month. Lots of artist selling their stuff but also attracts tons of food trucks and great for people watching.

[superjoshlopez]

Dude. I lived in LA for 24 years and I still haven’t checked out some of these spots. Hahaha. Next visit. I’m making a list. Thanks for the tips. 😎👍🏽

[villalbs_]

[heizenblade]

Some of the spots here I see almost everyday and not even bother checking them out...

[emevr]

There is more to Los Angeles than just the beaches and Hollywood walk of fame. Glad you were able to show people the hidden beauty of this city.

[omarmendoza]
