What is your favourite restaurant?

Maybe Perch even though is a top bar mostly

What is your favourite cheap restaurant for a quick lunch?

In & out. Top quality fast food chain.

What’s your favourite place to have a beer or a cocktail in Los Angeles?

Copa D’oro in Santa Monica. Best place for pre party.

What do you recommend doing on a rainy day?

It never rains! Actually it does but it is very rare and all the city kind of stop.

What do you recommend doing for free in Los Angeles?

Hard do find cool free stuff in LA. For sure walking on Hollywood boulevard is a great option.

Is there one thing not many people know about Los Angeles you would like to tell us?

You need a car. If you go there just rent a car. You cannot really move without and you just enjoy the city differently if you have one. In other cities in US you can use the metro or pubblic transport or stick to the city center but in LA there is no way you can do that.

Anything else you think we should know?

I guess the best part of Los Angeles are all the nearby cities or town along the coasts. They are mostly pretty, chilled but as well alive during the night.
