OP here, I've already got a list going. I have family in LA, so I have done lots of the typical tourist stuff like disneyland before as a kid.

I've got some stuff I want to re-do, and then some new stuff. feel free to comment.

Things I want to do (new)
>The Getty
>Griffith Observatory
>something downtown that isn't citywalk
>get good Hawaiian food

Things I want to redo (old)
>chinatown
>original phillipes
>Little India

any suggestions? Also where are all the junkyards/salvage yards in LA?
>also name your favorite beach
>I like Redondo

I'm going to spend a few days in LA in about 6-8 weeks. Not sure how many days yet but I would love to find someone to host me on couchsurfing. The hostels there are really expensive, as much as I'd love to stay in them.

As for food, I recently watched a docu about a food critic in LA, Jonathan Gold, and apparently his 101 best places to eat is a good list to start with. The one I'd like to try is Guelaguetza.

>hostels in the U.S.
are literally the same price if not more expensive than a motel.

it may be worth getting a motel somewhere outside of the city with good access to transit (near the airport comes to mind) and taking the train or the bus into LA. the cheapest places are going to be the worst, obviously.

also try the Heji Guiyuan Inn, they are advertising $15 rooms on trivago.com
>probably a scam but mfw dat price

Pasadena is a pretty place to visit. You can cover it fairly quickly.

Little Tokyo is also fun. There is a neat weeb shop called jungle you should check out.
