Recently, I have been trying to come up with ideas of places in LA to take out of towners in. I know there are some traditional spots to take people but these aren’t the places that I want to show them (I think Venice is kind of gross and definitely overrated). I have decided that LA is a great place to live, but not necessarily visit, so my choices vary. This is a work in progress but here are places that I want to highlight in Southern California. Some traditional and some not so much.
