I was here for a poker tournament and it is nice not to have to deal with traffic and just go upstairs when you are done playing!
2. Exit Game - Los Angeles

Exit Game is THE premiere escape room experience in Southern California. It's a group activity, an amusement park, a themed experience. Your group has 1 hour to escape a series of rooms by decoding hints and solving puzzles. Teamwork is a must!

I've only been to one other slightly obscure escape room game in Singapore so I don't have much to compare it to but from what I can tell this place is fantastic. We were very impressed by the technology and how we interacted with it to solve puzzles (we tried the AI room). We also liked the backstory and how the AI computer 'Ada' talks to you during the puzzle. We do highly recommend going in a group larger than two...me and my hubby went and didn't have quite enough time (understandable considering the rooms are designed for groups of 6-8). Anyway long story short it was very enjoyable and we plan to come again!

I enjoyed myself. I can never get my steaks like I want them, so when you cook it yourself, it's just right. Lots of marinade. Salad, baked potatoes, bread, really tender steaks, good sized. A dive, yes, but a very pleasant older established dive. Went there for my retirement party. Staff, especially our server was a lovely young woman who brought everything quickly. Go for lunch and it's a few dollars off $15. Want great steaks and no nonsense? Go to the Venice room. There is also a bar. All was clean and neat.

I love this golf course!
There that's my review.............ahhh but you want more, ok let's see what we can say about this course and why you should do whatever you can to play it.
1. Designed by a famous golf course designer Stanley Thompson. (course was opened in 1931) who created a classic beauty a wonderfully picturesque design carved out of an area of natural beauty.
2. Great club house, with dining and shower facilities, simply top notched with dining facilities and pro shop and staff.
3. Excellent value for the money, green fee includes a cart which you definitely need for the up and down terrain.
4. Each hole is different, and tree lined by mature trees. Because of the mature trees you cannot see any hole but the one you are playing. Montebello is not a long course but very challenging, small undulating greens add to the challenge.
5. Course is not crowded, pace of play is good, 4 to 4 1/2 hours is normal.
6. Course condition is excellent, well kept and well manicured.
7. Montebello golf is just so very very picturesque and scenic and classic, it's like stepping back in time, a total joy. There are some stunning views from the tees, this course looks so good, you'll forget your score!
8. Electric powered golf carts, clean and quiet.
9. Great customer service by pro shop and staff out on the course, classy and friendly.
10. It's in Quebec, so you feel like you are on adventure to a unique destination just when you drive here. Montebello is a beautiful course, in gorgeous surroundings and is just such a totally classic joy to play! In the fall, with the leaves changing it is even more beautiful!
So far this year I've played here 6 times and each time it is a joy, I just get tired of it.
If you are in the Ottawa area, it is definitely worth the 1 hour drive to get here. Excellent value for the money! Chances are you'll see me there when you go, so please hi, or fore? See you at the 19th hole!!

9. Walt Disney Concert Hall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2 reviews
Home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, this concert hall is designed to be one of the most acoustically sophisticated in the world.
Reviewed By LightPro - Long Beach, California
Much has been written about the seismic shift of Arts and Architecture from Chicago and New York to the Left Coast. No greater evidence of this is the transformation of Grand Avenue with its cultural monuments of the Broad, MOCA, and Grand Park, all anchored by Frank Gehry's shiny concert hall. From the outside, whimsical, lighter-than-air pieces impossibly fit together, leaving the observer wondering how can this place house a world class orchestra venue. Once inside the auditorium, the look softens and mellows dramatically; the metallic exterior gives way to red-hued wood adornments. The acoustics are warm and precise, just about what you would want for a hall this size. The East Coast rightly has reason to be jealous.

Visiting The Broad was one of the highlights of my recent LA trip. The four hours there were really well spent. It is a contemporary art museum founded by philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad. What a gift to LA,not to speak to the countless visitors who get to see an amazing eclectic art collection free of cost! I reached early, around 1015 ( the museum opens at 11), to find a long line of visitors waiting in queue as standbys. I didn't mind at all---- while I stood in queue I took in the sunshine and read a wonderful informative brochure that the visitor associates distributed. Apart from the familiar iconic pieces like Warhol's Campbell Soup can paintings, there were some phenomenal treats like the huge mural by Takashi Murakami. I got to see Jeff Koon's Balloon Dog and Tulips which were delightful. Since it is a personal collection, it may not be completely inclusive of what is considered contemporary, but clearly this was a spectacular collection in its own right. The building which houses it is an architectural marvel too. All in all, a must see.
