Venice Beach:
On weekends, L.A.'s seaside promenade is
like a mild acid trip. Jugglers,
rappers, skateboarders, musclemen,
polemicists and various kindred souls
put on a spontaneous circus for all to
see. Stroll the boardwalk, or grab a
table at the Sidewalk Cafe (1401 Ocean
Front Walk) and just watch the show go
by.
La Brea Tar Pits:
Forget Jurassic Park -- this
prehistoric graveyard complete with
replicas holds a morbid fascination for
mammals of all stripes.
Griffith Park:
The largest public park in the country,
this urban refuge offers everything from
hiking to animal-gawking (Los Angeles
Zoo) to star-gazing (Griffith
Observatory).
Bradbury
Building: One of L.A.'s seminal
architectural achievements, the recently
renovated Bradbury is a wrought-iron and
wood wonder that stands out among
Downtown's remaining landmarks.
Mulholland Drive
at Sunset: On a clear evening, this
two-lane road that winds along the
city's mountain divide yields a stunning
view that'll humble even the most
cynical L.A. detractors.
Hard Rock Cafe:
Lodged in the monstrously ugly Beverly
Center, this "attraction" offers long
lines and nothing to justify them. After
wasting your time and money, you can buy
an outlandishly expensive souvenir, just
so you'll remember not to come back.
Century City:
If you're white and you have money,
you'll love it. Otherwise, there's not
much to recommend this once-futuristic
mini-city that is now merely an island
of soulless affluence.
Universal
Studios/Citywalk: Overhyped,
overpriced and overcrowded sums up this
tourist trap. Citywalk is particularly
despicable -- a sanitized re-creation of
L.A. meant to spare you the trouble of
actually seeing the city. Get real.
Rodeo Drive:
Want to confirm all the worst
stereotypes about L.A.? Then this is the
place to come. Just make sure that
Marshall's collar isn't showing.
The Valley:
It's hot, it's barren, it's vacuous.
That may seem a little harsh, but ample
parking is about all this vast suburban
wasteland has to offer in the way of
cultural enlightenment. The Valley's
threatened secession from L.A. would be
a fiscal drain, but a net gain in other
departments.
