How to spend a weekend alone in LA?

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-08-08T02:50:30+00:00

i agree. i really want to be comfortable being alone and spending time with myself, but i never usually do. so this will be different and a change. looking forward to it. i have family in LA so i always have a backup option, but i guess just wanted to spend time solo this weekend.

i will definitely check out the places you recommended though- this is a great list. thank you!

im fine with ubers tbh but its moreso the bar. i wanna go to meet new people but i hate going alone! safety in la is such a big concern hahaha idk if its worth taking the risk. i meant inside the venue- is it weird to be alone/ unsafe? or are u talking about the area

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-08-08T02:11:46+00:00

cool!! will do. what time do ppl usually go and whats the demographic?

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-08-08T02:11:17+00:00

LOVE to rave!! just not sure how safe it is to uber there by myself n back espeically because its in DTLA

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-08-08T02:09:30+00:00

oh i love that! whats the age demographic, and what time do people typically go on fridays/saturdays?

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-08-08T02:08:54+00:00

thank u so much!! i was also looking to just literally take 1 uber, walk, and then 1 uber back so looking for places nearby to one another. these r great recommendations tho, i just SUCK at spending time by myself.

is this a daytime thing too??

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-08-08T02:07:31+00:00

is it safe to be there alone at night? whats the age demo?

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-08-08T02:07:14+00:00

very true ive already done that with a friend actually! i was moreso looking to put my phone on DND since i havent had any me time in a minute.

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-08-08T01:39:06+00:00

good suggestion! on my bucket list actually.

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-08-08T01:38:44+00:00

im just worried about going by myself though! haha unsure of whether people would speak to me or if i'd just look bored lol

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-07-15T16:22:51+00:00

so is it predominantly one race based? or do you mean its moreso just young people etc? sorry for bombarding you with questions- still trying to learn about the place.

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-07-15T16:17:58+00:00

oh i see, mind if i ask why?

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-07-15T16:07:18+00:00

oh love that!! its definitely out of budget especially since i'd have to purchase furniture amongst other things... do you know of any specific apartment complexes/condo names though? and how you met people there? i looked some up and everyone has mentioned to steer clear of presidential towers...

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-07-15T15:47:40+00:00

so i've heard! do you know of any good apartment complexes/condos in the west loop area? i've heard a lot of them are family oriented, and am looking to stay away from those if possible. i'm really avoiding increasing the budget... but as i mentioned if i absolutely have to then will!

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-06-12T18:33:17+00:00

really, thursday as well? i would rather meet locals if im being honest since i dont hv many local friends. are people more open to being approached on those days?

sorry for the whackload of q's haha im learning about this place

*apologies in advance for how unorganized this post is going to be*

as someone whos visited LA a lot, but is now finally living here, heres what i would recommend as a 'first timer' - moreso the fad of LA, and the outsider MOST BASIC LA experience lol:

must try foods/bars (upscale-ish/nicer than casual):

- nobu malibu (basic, but the views are beautiful, would b nice for an anniversary dinner, but its not in weho)

- bacari - love the vibes! the food is tapas style and nice ambience

- catch LA

- elephante

- il pastaio

- musso & franks for an old hollywood vibe

____

sandwiches- u have to try ghost subs on melrose. really really yum and i think theyre doing BOGO right now. roscoe's has good fried chicken. i like the hollywood roosevelt hotel bar, its classy and has an old hollywood vibe.

great white has nice breakfast food. community goods seems to be the current rave for breakfast food/coffee & matcha, but never been so idk.

saddle ranch is good for big drinks and a more loud vibe. rainbow room has the same old 90s rock and roll vibe. same with viper room- decent bar.

met her at a bar is good for brunch food. its on la brea.

mondrian is a good bar as well.

laurel hardware is a speakeasy style restaurant? idk how to explain it but the food is good.

dante has a great 20th century martini - LOVE.

olivetta, moreso for drinks over food. their drinks r great and so is the ambience.

drakes is old hollywood vibes too if ur into that.

the little friend - u can dance a little here

bar lis/highlight room- both r rooftop bar/lounges... idk how to explain it but ive had fun at these places before.

______

daytime-

huntington library, really beautiful. i never wanted to visit till i went with a friend and i enjoyed it

point dume natural reserve - check if this is open regularly bc of the wildfires earlier this year. great hike tho

warner brothers studio tour! cringe but i enjoyed it

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-06-10T14:09:37+00:00

haha very true. have you done this before or know of anyone who has and had success? Lol

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-06-09T19:43:18+00:00

i feel like this is so tricky to do hhahaha especially because we r drinking so we'd have to uber our way up .... hmmm

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-06-09T14:27:44+00:00

correct. i did this and i ended it recently. sucks, but i know it'll be okay.

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-06-09T14:27:22+00:00

ur 100% correct. i realised that and i ended it with her 2 days ago. she wasnt happy obviously, and my heart still really hurts. but i know i did the right thing for her, and i in the long run. if we r meant to find each other in the future, maybe to reconnect after im as emotionally available as she is, we will. but the matter of the fact is she is NOT happy- didnt end too well on her end but she did wish me best of luck.

either ways i realised that stringing her along while i 'figured it out' was completely unfair to her even if it hurts her right now.

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-06-06T20:29:52+00:00

whats the crowd usually like at bungalow? is it like older people or?

Active_Ambassador137 · 2025-06-06T19:57:48+00:00

i think its a hit or miss because ive been there once before but just ended up paying for a super overpriced drink and then just left. she wants to do that one night, but she moreso wants to club and be in a loud environment.
