Hey everybody! This week I’m going to tell you a little bit about my favorite spot to go out and about in Los Angeles – LA Live in Downtown! In the last few years, the spot has become a really fun place for the city’s young people to hang out, with activities to suit every taste.

It’s no secret that I am obsessed with hockey, and especially the LA Kings.  So my love for LA Live is probably slightly influenced by the fact that Staples Center, home of the Kings, Clippers, Lakers, and several other concerts and events, is right next to the main LA Live plaza.  It’s by far my favorite thing to do to hop on the Metro, grab some dinner at one of the many restaurants, and watch some awesome Kings’ hockey!

This brings me to another great thing about LA Live – the food.  There are restaurants for every taste and budget – sports restaurants like the ESPN zone, the Yard House, Wolfgang Puck, and even some pizza and burger places.

There’s plenty of other entertainment at LA Live besides sports.  There’s a huge movie theater with 4DX movies (the fourth dimension is random effects like smell, moving seats, etc) – I’m planning to go see Interstellar there soon! There’s also the Nokia Theater, which has really great concerts throughout the year.  I saw the Moody Blues there with my mom and brother a couple years ago; its a great venue!

There’s tons of other stuff to do in LA Live and the area surrounding – shopping, food, movies, sports – you name it! You should definitely add it to your list of things to check out once you get here!

Have a great week and beat the Irish!
