Hopefully, by this time next year, I will be living down in Los Angeles.

Choose your area carefully. LA has cool spots, but getting anywhere is a real pain. :/

Valley Village/Studio City GAF represent

H-Protagonist, move back down pronto.

You want me to have to do 3 hour commutes again? I don't think I'd survive another year of that. ;_;

I say we have a Redondo Beach get-together. Then I could at least ride my bike to it.

 

[NoRéN]

Lets do a meet up at Jurassic in City of Industry. Its like an Asian Hooters.

Not only does that sound awesome but I'm fairly close to that.

Any burger joint recommendations?

Redondo Beach, huh? Get some seafood and then play the old school arcade games. I think they still have the X-Men beat em up

That's what i was thinking to myself, too.

Now that I remember, There's this place, Dino's in Lincoln Heights for burgers. Anyone try?

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

I've never heard of that place either, sounds a little sketchy XD... if you want to just go to a place to hit on asian chicks in that area go to Rowland Heights into any shopping area on Colima.

I've had many a drunken nights at some place in Rowland Heights... I think Banana bay?

Or we could go to Cafe Lu in Santa Ana...

 

[Gully State]

Yang Chow in Chinatown (downtown). Slippery Shrimp.

I will await a thank you PM. http://www.yangchow.com/

edit: reservation is a must on weekends.

My bad ...I was looking for something a bit less formal and more traditional(not Americanized Chinese food- and I don't mean it in a derogatory way as I do enjoy that style of cuisine from time to time), but I'll keep this suggestion in mind for group stuff. Your picture of slippery shrimp has my mouth salivating though..

Banana Bay is on colima/fullerton right? I used to stay with an ex in that area :*(

 

[Gully State]

Hop Woo

Is it better than Hop Li?

 

[brollyman2k]

i miss going to Arcade Infinity in Rowland Heighs

 

[Doomsayer]

Yeah, right off of Fullerton from the 60. It's a chill place, asians girls love them some white dudes. Liquid cocaines on the other hand, hate white dudes.

[Puddles]

Anyone want to train for the LA Marathon in 2012 2013?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Holy crap. On Hulu, Law & Order is talking about Yang Chow.

Jesus.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Not really, I just moved here from NY. Any tips are appreciated.

He means the art colony by the 5. Have a couple friends over there.

Man, there is a large Lincoln Heights-GAF contingent.

Favorite food in LA is either the Pastrami Reuben at Langer's <- best pastrami in america.

That or Oaxacan mole negro. My favorite is at Juquila on Santa Monica Blvd and Federal, next door to the Cafe 50's

Did you just say cafe Lu?
I'm so down.
Good food.
Flirt with the hot waitresses.

I've only been once, but oh my...

I could hardly contain myself.

 

[Doctor West]

People really don't know how to drive here. Nothing gets me off more than being at a complete stop at a green light for two cycles. So awesome.

Also, trying to find a parking space at the Whole Foods across from The Grove is a living fucking nightmare.

I thought the OC was cracking down on the Vietnamese coffee houses

Since coming here, I've seen so many people just blatantly break the law, sometimes in broad daylight. One time, directly after two cars in front of them got into an accident.

Oh, you must mean mole Poblano.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

I think the crackdown was on type of dress a waitress can wear.
But they still sit down on your table and flirt while you eat.
Ill go check it out soon if things have changed. Definitely a spot for nba-age

 

[StopMakingSense]

Oh, you must mean mole Poblano.

? Not really. Most oaxacan places list it as mole negro. It's different from the mole poblano's I've had. Much darker. And smokier/sweeter.

 

[Black Mamba]

hahaha what. SoCal is like where everyone knows how to drive. But if you're from out of town, you're fucked. We are chaotic, but it's ordered chaos.

Unless it rains, then most people here go dumb. I've driven out East and those fuckers can't drive for shit.

They're called California Rolls for a reason. Fucking use em.

Hear, hear. Yeah, I'm always amazed at how nuts people out of California are when driving. Was in northern Arizona over the holidays on a two lane highway, and some asshole in the opposite lane came into my lane to pass, forcing me onto the shoulder.

In all fairness we have a lot of teenagers who have seen one too many F&F movie and try to race on public streets. Shit is infuriating, especially because I drive a Subaru. I'm constantly getting harassed.

 

[NoRéN]

Nah, I know. Seen it made both ways. Slightly different ingredients. Guess I'm biased for mole Poblano as my step mom's from Puebla.

Some mole over rice, yum!

 

[Doctor West]

So true. There is a stop sign by my place that people rarely stop at. They're like, "Stop sign? lol, fuck you!"

Honestly I've never really seen anything like that. Where do you live? The valley (either)?

 

[Doctor West]

More like full speed. I have no problem with rolling.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Does mole poblano have cacao in it like mole negro?

Consider yourself lucky, then.

When I used to work in downtown I would get "rice fly-byes" probably twice a day from idiots in beater Hondas.

All around Monterey Park/Alhambra I get revved on constantly.

haha, this is true. But teens do that shit everywhere. I rarely see an actual race, though. Mostly them just being dumb.

Out of towners (er non-west Coast) are so easy to spot. They have no idea what to do on the freeways.

California Roll. C'mon James.

Hear, hear. Yeah, I'm always amazed at how nuts people out of California are when driving. Was in northern Arizona over the holidays on a two lane highway, and some asshole in the opposite lane came into my lane to pass, forcing me onto the shoulder.

That can be legal depending on the lines. used to do it all the time on the way to Vegas, but I don't go through that route anymore.

Huh, weird. Lived/worked in downtown and didn't really see that. But yeah, Alhambra is pretty lol. Almost got rear ended by a guy who was clearly under the influence of something a few months ago at Poplar/Fremont, who then proceeded to do a hit and run in front of me (and proceeded to get chased by the dude he hit, oh Alhambra)

California Roll. C'mon James.

My bad. Mind is elsewhere. I'm off my game. My little nephew has pneumonia.

 

[Puddles]

Edit: n/m, was thinking of The Block the Town Center.

 

[Jamesfrom818]

He mentioned The Grove, so he's talking about Long Beach or surrounding areas. Don't want to say anything over the line, but... you know.

The Grove? Long Beach? What the fuck are you on about? Last time I checked, the Grove is right next to the Beverly Center and Cedars Sinai.

The Grove is mid-Wilshire
