00:00 What’s up? We’re Marko and Alex – the Vagabrothers.

00:02 And these are our Top 10 Tips on how to do L.A. like a local.

00:05 [Vagabrothers Intro]

00:08 A lot of people come to L.A. because they’ve seen it in the movies, and then the get here

00:12 and it’s not quite what they expected.

00:13 L.A. is a huge city, the sights are super spread out, and it can take a while to get

00:17 under its skin.

00:18 So here are our top 10 tips on where to go in this awesome city.

00:22 Let’s do it!

00:24 Number One – Venice Beach. It’s where every local takes their out-of-town friends and

00:29 that’s because a) it’s awesome and b) a stroll down the boardwalk can be as foreign for us

00:34 as it is for you. For extra credit, explore the canals or the cool cafes and shops on

00:38 Abbot Kinney.

00:39 We are watching Vagabrothers.

00:41 If you ain’t messin’ with the Vagabrothers, you ain’t on…

00:45 You ain’t on and we ain’t f*ckin’ with you, man!

00:47 Just up the coast is the Santa Monica Pier, where the Route 66 hits the Pacific Ocean.

00:51 It’s cool, but if you’re into people watching or shopping, head to the 3rd Street Promenade.

00:59 But L.A.’s not just about superficial beauty – there’s a lot of culture here. Check out

01:02 LACMA – the Los Angeles County Museum of Art – or the free hilltop Getty Center,

01:07 which has world-class art exhibits, a zen sculpture garden and panoramic views of L.A.

01:13 Another good view of the city is from the Hollywood Hills. Check out the Griffith Park

01:16 Observatory, made famous by James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause, or for an active alternative,

01:22 hike up Runyon Canyon, the most accessible slice of nature in this concrete jungle.

01:28 Number Five – Get stuck in traffic!

01:30 I hate this one.

01:31 Yeah, but it’s inevitable and it’s pretty much the most authentic thing you can do.

01:35 So what?

01:35 So let’s dance!

01:37 Yeah!

01:38 While you’re stuck in traffic, hop on Twitter and chase down a food truck – mobile kitchens

01:42 that criss-cross L.A. everyday at lunchtime. Follow your favorite food trucks by finding

01:47 their tweets. Get started with these guys.

01:52 Most foreigners come to Hollywood and expect to see celebrities walking down the street.

01:56 That’s not going to happen. Skip the Walk of the Stars and come to Amoeba Music, the

01:59 world’s largest independent record store where – if you can’t meet a rock star – at least

02:03 you can buy their album.

02:04 L.A. is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, so when it comes to grabbing

02:09 dinner, you’ve got plenty of options. Grab some injera in Little Ethiopia, a curry in

02:13 Thai Town, or some BBQ in Korea Town.

02:22 After dinner, it’s time for some entertainment – a stand up comedy show at the Laugh Factory

02:27 in West Hollywood. You never know who’s going to be on stage, but the comics are always

02:30 great and there’s usually at least one big-name comedian.

02:33 It’s been an eventful day, so finish strong with a night of partying. Hollywood has the

02:39 clubs, the West Side has the class, but some of the funnest bars are in East LA in Echo

02:44 Park and Silverlake.

02:46 So those are our tips – what are yours? Tell us in the comic box below.
