If you're looking for that desirable, artsy day in Los Angeles that will make for plenty of Instagram-worthy photo-op moments and make you feel like you are, indeed, having an adventure that every person seems to want nowadays, then look no further. Here's a game plan that's sure to make for tons of laughs and end in plenty of hashtags.
1. Start your morning with a workout at City of Angels Boxing
Despite getting in a killer workout in that will literally leave your muscles quivering even in the fetal position, the steady beat from the rap music pushing you (and your squats) further will have you thankful you stepped into the industrial building in the first place. You just got 100 percent tougher. And 1000 percent more bad ass. AKA it's 2000 percent the right way to start off the day.
2. Eat at Grand Central Market
After working up an appetite, head over to this outdoor market where eclectic foodies are sure to find their fix, whether that's in fresh-pressed smoothies, sushi and miso soup, sticky rice, tacos or grass-fed meat burgers. Since you worked out that means no guilt, right?
3. Walk through Los Angeles Art District
With cool, unique art fairs popping up at all corners like Artists & Fleas and murals and graffiti art beautifully transforming plain buildings into beauties of color, this is a place where photos are begging to be taken.
4. Serenade strangers in the street as you drive to Santa Monica
This is pretty self-explanatory. It's fun. It's a little ridiculous. But you're sure to make someone's day along with your own
5. Park it and go to the pier
It's kind of iconic. Treat yourself with some blue cookie monster ice cream, play the arcade games and walk to the end to look out endlessly over the pacific.
6. Wear a wig (because why not)
People do weird stuff in Los Angeles all the time, yeah? And this time you have an alter ego. Have friends walk up to you and say "Can I take a photo?" Believe it or not, people will think you're famous. And for all they know...you are, right?
7. Walk along Third Street Promenade
Shops, shops, shops. Shop 'til you drop or until you care to be entertained with street performers in between stores. The only place where you'll see a five year old decked out in Adidas "twerking like Miley" for tips outside of ZARA.
8. Go to Perry's Cafe on the beach to catch the sunset
Wiggle your toes in the sand while you enjoy Mahi Mahi tacos and watch beach volleyball games just steps away. When the sun goes down on the water, there's not a prettier place to be.
