What are some quieter places in Los Angeles to hang out to get away sometimes? Griffith Park is one, any more?|109057

Sometimes you just want to be somewhere quiet and relaxing without going too far. What else is good? Echo Park?

huntington park..............not a pin will sound specially saturday morning........lol

boyle heights........
Watts known for its rich chocolate factory... lol
Compton........i think that is the headquarters of the L.a Zoo

OMG Dude.
Don_t listen to that ignorant individual talking about my city. I live in Compton. We don_t have any big park like L.A.
Compton is not in L.A, so how could we be LA Zoo Headquarters. You fatuous person. _School yourself_ (Macbeth) you dopey guy.

I suggest to go to Santa Barbara.
Palm Spring or to our local mountains. The one close to Azusa are nice.

Also try Catalina Island.

Watts

Santa Monica Pier. i love it there.

Look for any beach park on Ranchos palos verdes its mostly residential and its very quiet there and most traffic and people just ignore that area.

If your willing to drive you can go to oxnard when I went there this thanksgiving it was deserted lol.

Cheesboro Park

If you can get to the beach early, it_s pretty quiet. Mostly joggers are there in the morning, from Santa Monica to Redondo.

A quick drive up Angeles Crest Highway can be very relaxing. There are a lot of hiking trails.

You can also find some nice trails up in the Sunland Tujunga area, especially where Sunland Ave crosses the 210.

The Rose Bowl area is a great place for a jog or a bike ride.

Echo Park? I think it_s too close to Glendale Blvd: Too many cars, area is a bit too dicey.

Good luck!

I used to go to Sturtevant Falls, above Arcadia in the mountains.

Museum of Science and Industry
The Getty Center
Norton Simon Museum
Long Beach Aquarium
Queen Mary
Mount Wilson Observatory

Pasadena is always nice, same with chantry flats (in arcadia)

What are the benefits of using a travel agency to plan your trips?|123398

i_d like to know why do travel agencies get better prices with airlines and hotels, how much can you save with them?

sorry to disagree, but my daughter was (and still is in a different way) in the travel industry and she always plans and books our trips herself. I can_t imagine anyone getting better deals than we do! She DOES NOT get discounts or any special treatment.... She researches and rechecks her sites constantly.... as an example, after getting our 4 plane fares with frequent flier miles, our 10 day trip FOR 4 to Oahu, including rental car, 2 bedroom with full kitchen and pool hotel a block away from Waikiki Beach, admissions, food and souvenirs cost a TOTAL of...... $1600- remember that was for TEN days for FOUR!!!! We have spent 2 weeks in England for an unbelievable amount also and our trips to Disney World are super cheap. A lot of the fun (for us) is in the planning and researching AND finding the bargains and coupons, etc. Have fun wherever you go and however you get there!

I use travel agents,so that I have someone to blame when things go wrong.

Also my local agent books all my flights and holidays,I have checked and cannot find cheaper even on the net, so i know that they are looking after me.

Are there any bohemian neighborhoods left in New York?|148116

It seems most places are being developed into expensive, clean neighborhoods. Are there any affordable places left where struggling artists and the like are going to live?

I think Bushwick is the only one. Although gentrification is smelled all over the place.

There_s no real affordable place for struggling artists! You can look around and find single apartments for around $1,000, but they_ll be small. Best bet is to get a roommate.
If you want _Bohemian_ neighborhoods, though, they *do* exist. Chelsea is probably the best-known one--so many galleries, great arts scene--but it tends to get expensive there. Same with Soho (certain parts) and Greenwich Village.

I have no idea, but as an artist I would love to one day be able to work from N.Y. even for a few months! :)

What is fun to do in denver, co at night for ages 18 and under?|107140

My boyfriend and i are stuck at home for spring break and we need something exciting to do for cheap!

Be creative, you can find a way to acquire a keg (convince an older friend or sibling to buy it) and have all your friends over and throw a rager. Kegs are only about $50 (which is cheap) and you can charge $3 per cup and make a profit if you get enough people to come.

Yeah, go ahead and give me a _thumbs down._ I_m fun and honest, which is why I have 57% best answers, while the museum/shopping crowd has under 10%.

You can go to Colorado Mills Mall, downtown Denver, Wheat Ridge Recreation Center, Butterfly Pavillion, or Belmar or to Boulder.

indoor skydiving :))
omg it_s sooooo fun!
[[not scary]]

eh, kinda expensive though.
but definitely worth it

I_m not from Denver but there_s loads of things to do.... its a bigger, more lively place than where I live now and I always manage to have a great time

Besides going to a movie (which I think is fun anyway!) you could go to a play at the Denver performing arts center (sorry, I can_t remember what it_s called, but it_s really nice), or a concert (they have just about all the stars) but my top recommendation would be Elitch Gardens. Once in the regular season, they_re open _till 9pm. They really up-ed their game when they broke off from the Six Flags franchise. The Denver Museum of Nature and Science is fun, but the only things to do in the evening is IMAX movies (they don_t have the Hollywood movies, only the educational ones) and sometimes they have a special exhibition that has evening tickets available. Denver isn_t the best place for night-time activities, but you can still have fun!

goto 6 flags, imax, dave and busters, 16th street mall, im not familuar that much anymore i have moved to phx,az

QUAKE22 GOOD answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are the best months to vist the National parks out in the western USA? And why?|199508

We would like to see Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Painted Dessert, Grand Canyon, Zion, and Bryce, Grand Teton.
How much time will we need?

Spring (April, May or early June) or Fall (September, October). Summer is entirely too hot and Winter is rainy and cold.

And you_re going to need a lot of time. 4-6 weeks for a thorough visit to each one.

umm around early spring because its not too hot and well the wildlife is more active after the harsh winter
