Tourist Attractions in Los Angeles

Many people expect to visit Disneyland while in Los Angeles, but don't realize that Disneyland is not in the city of Los Angeles nor even in the County of Los Angeles. Rather it is in the city of Anaheim--in Orange County.

Lots of L.A. hotels will offer a shuttle or bus to Disneyland, but if you're planning to get there on your own, don't expect to do it by public transportation very easily.

Unique Suggestions: If Disneyland is your only destination it would be better to check into a hotel in the city of Anaheim or even Buena Park. While in Anaheim, getting to Disneyland is very easy, with shuttle stops all over the place.

Well the locals call the city walk something else, it rhymes with city and starts with an 's'. In any event, if you want to buy fast food quality food and all kinds of merchandise (junk) you don't need at high prices, then by all means shop away.

Unique Suggestions: Bring your own food. Don't buy any thing. Go to other shopping areas in the city, like the Venus Beach area and buy similar things there for a much lower price.

Having visited L.A. many times over the years, I had yet to visit what I envisioned to be charming, Old Pasadena.

I was so disappointed. There is basically 2 blocks of generic niceness and a lot of vagrant-like blocks of every thing else. The walk from Memorial Park to the fabled 'Pasadena Playhouse' was especially lackluster.

Plus, almost no specialty stores left save for a handful (check out my "Shopping" tips for these).

Ugh!!

Unique Suggestions: Have Sunday Brunch along one of the major streets near Memorial Park.

Pink's is a Los Angeles legend, with endless lines winding around the OK Corral.

I think it's a scam.

Whoever would wait in an hour-length line for a hot dog, gets what they deserve.

Frankly, it's just a very trendy thing to do...to get a Pink's dog...and then brag about it to all your friends, afterwards, and regale them with a tale of your wait and woe, and how, ultimately, it was worth it.

Oh really? Was it REALLY worth it?

Unique Suggestions: If you must...ugh...but, if you must, Pink's is open 24hrs, so swing by at say, four or five in the morning and you really won't have to wait in line.

Fun Alternatives: Here's an idea...go buy some hot dogs at the market

Olvera Street is basically a one-block-long swapmeet of Mexican-oriented junk. There are some historic buildings there, but you cannot see them because of all of the booths selling overpriced trinkets. If you want Mexican history, go to Mexico.

It is just a mall. You can find malls in every city. Yet it is the most over billed, over hyped mall in the world. It just plain sucks, but don't tell that to most locals, for whatever reason too many people who live here think it's cool.

Unique Suggestions: If you have to do the tourist trap thing, try the Santa Monica Pier, even though that also sucks.

Last time my parents came to visit we took a trip downtown to see some of the sights he knew as a kid. The Olvera Street he remembered from his youth far surpassed the one we found. Traditionally speaking, Olvera Street is known as the heart of the Mexican community in downtown Los Angeles, and although there is a plethora of Mexican culture in the area the actual street is nothing more than an alley with restaurants and street vendors. I am sure the food here is good, but the vendors hawk nothing more than silly little trinkets. I suppose it would be exciting for the kids, but unless you’re dining here, don’t expect to kill more than an hour here. If you must go combine it with a trip to Chinatown (within walking distance of each other) and get a taste of two cultures in one.
