MOM'S BAR

Head over to Mom's for the best desert, a Mom's Apple Pie Martini.  It's not just for chicks.  But, if you're craving a more 'manly' experience, then pop outside to one of the food trucks (on a fixed schedule) for some great grub, bring it back inside and pound a PBR while you challenge your buddy to a Ms. Packman game.

61 New Year's Eve Parties in Los Angeles

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Below is a list of New Years Eve Events in Los Angeles

Have a safe New Year!

Lucky Devils, Hollywood

I generally try to avoid this section of Hollywood like the plague.  Parking is generally a nightmare, everyone looks like they need to be washed with a high pressure hose, but the Lucky 7 Happy Hour at Lucky Devils (Weekdays 3p-7p) is well worth the trek to Hollywierd.  It's located at 6613 Hollywood, between Whitley & Cherokee.

Best of LA by Metro with coffee for $.09! (Stop #2 of 8)

Stop number 2 on this Los Angeles Metro Tour is Union Station.  We will explore the city's beautiful 1930's train station, walk across the street to the historic Olvera Street and Avila Adobe, and offer great dining options including the best churros in the city (I'm NOT kidding) and get brainwashed by Phillipe's Famous French Dip Sandwiches (the best in LA since 1908!), stop by a historic Catholic Church and see an exhibit at the Chinese American Museum.

See Hollywood by Metro and Foot!

WALKING TOUR OF HOLLYWOOD BLVD.

The cheapest and most hassle-free way to see Hollywood is by foot and using the Metro (Subway) system.

PARKING: I suggest parking at the Universal Station for free (located at Lankershim Bl. & Universal Terrace Pky., North Hollywood 91608) and taking the subway just one stop to the Hollywood and Highland station OR park at the Hollywood & Highland complex (only $2 for 4 hours with validation, or $10 for the day).

Pho-Siam Thai Massage

The ONLY way to treat yourself in Los Angeles!
Friends and I discovered a secret hide-away at Pho Siam nearly ten years ago in a dumpy strip-mall in Thai-Town on Hollywood Boulevard near Western. As small and run-down as it seemed from Hollywood Blvd., the interior was a beautiful oasis of tropical smells, plants, soothing music and an hour in heaven!
