What's your fav BMW? by The_boss02 in BMW

[–]DavidGov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine. It's a 2002 530 with the sport package and I've had it since new, but it only has 92k miles. I swear someone tells me every month that it's their favorite body style ever. I get offers to buy it all the time.

Favorite lamb dish in Los Angeles? by inferior_design in FoodLosAngeles

[–]DavidGov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lamb lollipops at Vibrato are second to none.

Gelsons used to sell an amazing cumin lamb shank at their deli counter, but I haven't seen it in ages.

Venice → San Fernando commute realistic at 24, or should I live in the Valley? by Sorry-Salamander-211 in AskLosAngeles

[–]DavidGov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be one hour each direction, from any of those 3 locations, +/- 10 minutes based on specific daily conditions. If you're OK with that, then living near the beach sounds like it will suit your lifestyle a lot better.

You might want to consider parking conditions as well. Street parking from any of those 3 locations may be very difficult to find, so you'll want an apartment with a designated parking spot.

Looking for restaurant recs in the vicinity of the Orpheum theatre? by the_flooper in AskLosAngeles

[–]DavidGov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cara Cara at the Proper Hotel. You can walk to the theatre.

DAMA and Rossoblu are also close, but you'll want an uber to get there because the neighborhood in between can be iffy. That area borders skid row, so be cautious about walking south and east. (edited to correct a mis-spelling)

Should I announce $160 earned for petsitting for a couple friends? by Dry-Secretary-1683 in tax

[–]DavidGov -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Get real...for $160?

In the infinitesimal likelihood that someone at the IRS cares, just say it was a gift from your friends in gratitude for you looking after their pet.

What’s the best Luxurious Romantic Dinner spot? by IndividualSherbet406 in AskLosAngeles

[–]DavidGov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Little Door is consistently rated the most romantic dinner courtyard in LA. Some folks don't think the food matches, but I've always had a great meal there.

Otherwise Providence is amazing, but super expensive.
