Alors Champagne comment tu as aimé ton séjour? Tu as oublié de venir nous raconter. Quels sont les endroits que tu as visités, kiffés et recommende à ceux qui aimeraient s'y rendre? Cette question s'adresse aussi à tous ceux qui ont déjà été à L.a, venez nous raconter vos séjours.

J'ai de la famille qui va envahir ma maison le mois prochain pour la All-Star Weekend et je vais devoir être leur guide touristique. Je n'ai aucune idée où les emmener visiter ect..

Freaky Freaky qu'est ce que tu me recommendes? Je sais que tu connais cette ville comme la paume de ta main. Aide ta soeur pardon.

[voyelle]

ce serait bien de rencontrer des berinautes la bas, nous y serons du 20 au 27 janvier

la, j'espere que dans toute la liste la tu vas trouver de quoi OQP tes visiteurs

[afreaka]

Voyelle je te filerai mon numero on peut sortir un soir ou have lunch...

[afreaka]

la tes visiteurs devraient se retrouver ds la liste de voyelle... Moi mm j'ai des visiteurs starting next week... ca promet!

Voyelle vos choix de restos sont un peu meeh... Affaire manger la, Los Angeles has so many choices ce serait dommage de venir all the way here to eat what I saw on your list.. (I'm just saying)

I'm a sucker for food donc si c seulement pour manger la je connais

[Los Angeles]

Tu parles, Voyelle! Je sais pas ce que je déteste plus entre ça et faire le shopping. Sinon vous serez entre de bonnes mains avec Freaky Freaky. Moi je serai entrain de me détendre à OC et Palm Springs. J'en ai vraiment besoin car suis trop stressée.

Ta liste là est très bien detaillée, y a des coins que moi même j'ai jamais visités. Sinon, il y'a aussi L.a. Live aka Times Squares wannabe qui est magnifique, surtout la nuit. Faites un tour là-bas.

Gars, j'aime Vick hein mais Packers a une défense d'acier, surtout mon cauchemar Cuon Mathews là. Bon je continue à fantasmer sur mes sexy QB.

I don't like la live... (that's just me) I went to the bowling alley there where the bouncers treat you like you're going clubbing and I went to the yard: ( liked the beer (lindemann ) ) Noisy, overcrowded so-so food... never been to a show... Bunch of high end restaurants franchises...
En fait que ce soit HH ou L.a Live they both live me with the same feeling.. Ce sont des coins ou on va prendre des photos pour dire aussi qu'on etait a la but really they are pointless...

[voyelle]

recommande nous alors de bons restau a la

[afreaka]

vous avez des limites financieres par repas ou bien vous voulez vous faire plaisir?

[voyelle]

[Los Angeles]

As a sport fan, I have to pass by L.a Live when I go or leave games. I had a dinner there couple times, one time I was sitting next to Kobe and Vanessa made a scene over some bullshit.

Anyhoo Voyelle, don't forget to check out Leimert Park the african spot here, you can eat at some African restaurants there. Also my old campus UCLA is a must-see but USC got the best campus, you didn't hear it from me though.

Btw, I'm working on getting you girls on some shows during your stay here. I made some calls and some people told me their shows wrapped up their season and others are on break. They will let me know when they start taping again. I hope they get back at me before it's too late cuz I'm leaving this weekend and will be back on time for the Super Bowl. I got some tickets and will inbox them to you asap.

Alright let's go for another dance round.

la fille ci donc c'etait toi?

j'ai recu les invitations dans ma boite a pleins de shows, et je me demandais comment ca se fait.

[Los Angeles]

I'm so sorry, I should've asked your permission before use it but I did use my personal e-mail too for your friend as you can only make one request per person. Alright let me inbox you the tickets now and I'll keep making the calls.

Aaaw you are more than welcome, honey. I just want you girls to have a blast here.

Bon un endroit ou la bouffe est nulle, les boissons nulles mais interessant.. Le Westin Bonaventure de downtown la. C'est un restau qui pivote 360 degres au dessus de la ville... donc le plan c'est d'aller labas prendre un ascenseur en vitre... vous allez meme traverser l'aquarium et le piscine si vous etes du bon cote de l'hotel et monter au dernier etage. Ensuite vous prenez les escalier...
Arrivez en haut ne commendez qu'un apperitif car je vous assure c'est un grand hotel mais meme la pizza les depasse. asseyez vous et prenez vos photos.... vous allez voir la ville a perte de vue sur 360 degres quand vous achetez les boissons labas on vous donne les verres cadeau en souvenir parceque c'est un hotel historique. Il y'a plein de films qui ont ete tournes dedans donc quand vous marchez il y'a des images des noms des films qui y ont ete tournes...
Le restaurant ouvre a 17heures..

Manger encore eviter les restaus Africains.. y'en a pas un seul qui est decent... Contrairement a ce que Miss la a dit!

Sur Sunset allez a Cravings.. la bouffe est bonne, affordable et le soir vous allez voir les paparazzi se battre... a quelques blocs il y'a une boite de nuit qui s'appelle Trousdale entrer c'est un probleme mais une fois dedans it's very fun! il y'a souvent des stars labas aussi... When i went there i saw Jamie Fox and some girl from the Hills... Un autre club que j'aime bien c'est Industry sur Lacienega mais c'est plein de half dressed skanky girls. Everytime I went there someone I was with had a table donc je ne sais pas trop comment ca se passe pour entrer... la rumeur c que c'est dur...
Le upside c que c a quelques blocks de Berri's pizza Cafe qui est ouvert toute la nuit... C'est labas que j'ai pris la photo la nuit avec Chris brown... C'est un restau qui est pire qu'une boite de nuit.. ca appartient a des francais... ils servent des pizza le soir apres minuit et pour entrer c comme la boite either you know someone ou vous partez de la boite a 1.30 AM to get there avant la ligne... The food is really so so but your chances of meeting a celebrity there is almost 60%. Do not order anything but pizza or salad: pasta and rice are a big fail!

Vous aimez la bierre? Father's Office a Culver City ou the Yard House a la Live.
I personnally prefer father's Office meme si c'est bonde!
http://www.fathersoffice.com/
http://www.yardhouse.com/default.aspx
la selection de yardhouse est plus grande il doivent avoir au moins 100 bieres labas, c'est gigantesque... la bouffe n'est pas mal: variee et pas cher je crois que le truc le plus cher c le filet mignon et c quand meme en dessous de $30.
Downside: Noisy! c'est un sportbar geant a cote du Staples Center donc tous les gens qui n'ont pas reussi a acheter un ticket se retrouvent labas.. il y'a des ecrans partout donc ca crie dans tous les sens... C'est bruyant!!
ils ont des verres qui valent 6 bierres labas.
Father's office coute plus cher!
il y'a une queue a l'entree comme si tu allais en boite, la bouffe est raffinee mais en petites portions... ( le chef est japonais.. figure!)
Cote service c'est chacun pour soi!
tu paye au bar et tu te debrouilles pour trouver ta chaise... Et je vous dis c'est plein... C'est un bon endroit pour draguer thou et c'est ouvert jusqu'a 2 AM!
il y'a un autre a Santa monica but I have not tried that one....

Si vous allez visiter venice beach ou la promenade de Santa monica... je vous recommande energiquement Buddha's Belly!
http://www.bbfood.com/
C'est un restau pas cher, accueillant tout est bon dans le menu... C'est comme PF changs en mieux! je dis bien tout est bon et tout est entre $4 et $20.
les portions sont larges... C'est l'un des meilleurs restos Asian Fusion de la... Most of the menu is Thai inspired...

Bon restau aussi mais a bit pricy ou vous pouvez aussi rencontrer des stars... Rock Sugar
http://www.rocksugarpanasiankitchen.com/
il y'a des flammes et de l'eau partout dans la deco en tous cas faut google ca.. la nuit c magnifique! but again j'ai emmene 3 personnes labas j'ai paye $240 dollars... so si vous etes deux imagines... ils disent que les portions are meant to be shared mais bon ca depend de l'appetit des mangeurs...

[voyelle]

merci beaucoup miss pour ces infos

[marthy]

Afreaka je sens que quand je vais encore atterir chez vous, je dois arriver dans la west coast rien que pour que tu me serves de guide! Massa tu as l'air d'être une marcheuse hein! Very good!
