LA cruise
 

Hey guys! I was wondering where would be a good place with a view of the city to take a girl out. I don't know how to get to any views. I live in the 626 area so if anyone lives nearby and knows good places to go would be pretty helpful

Griffith Observatory
Yamashiro restaurant

I might check out the Griffith observatory.

I was looking for something more like drive up and around a mountain and have a view of a city.

You can see all over L.A. from the Observatory.

Or find one from this list:

have you tried signal hills?

No I have not. I was thinking about signal hill, the view, and 88 steps(?) think that's what it's called. But I have no idea how to get to any of them. I think I can get the address for signal hill but idk about the other two

GMR? If you're just looking for a view...

Thanks man! I was looking for something to go on a driving cruise to clear my mind and this might be the place!

Once my car leaves the auto body shop, we should organize a cruise night

Most definitely! However I am a lot more careful about cornering after totaling my first frs. :o

Well I totaled my FRS a few days back, I know wat to expect now hahaha

Haha. Happens to the best of us I guess. All that reimbursement from insurance was towards another frs!

Im about 10gs deep

Insurance gave me 23k haha

Wow, Must be nice. I'm probably going to get around 7k

I had the car for like 4 months...

I had it for 8 months

there is a place off mulholland where you can see the lights in the city and the valley, the ladies dig it!

Mullhulland drive for sure. You exit off the 405 and get on nice curvy roads and nice views

626:
west, monterey park - cast away restaurant.
east, rowland heights- 1. pacific palms golf resort.
2. rowland heights: end of azusa road by Shabarum Park.

You've got the car, now just make the move. :D

For my car's 1st anniversary, I drove up to the Hollywood Bowl Overlook:

Beautiful view of the city at night, and if you get there too early you can go to the Universal Overlook (also marked on the map) first so you can take the nice and tight twisties on the way to the Hollywood Bowl.

Parking is very limited though, so heads up.

Hold on man its not his girlfriend....Yamishiro would be a serious dating take on food.

Let's leave that for few months down the line.

Awesome spot though!

Fuh cast away. Not yet.

Ok Hitch, my bad :bonk:

Great view, but terrible food (for the price).

Don't go to 88 steps, the people in the neighborhood will call the cops on you if they find out your there. Went there once and unfortunately brought a very loud friend that won't listen when you tell her to be quiet...

Sup guys! Bumping this up because I'm actually heading out to SoCal this week from NorCal. I'll most likely be in SFV/Hacienda Heights/Anaheim area. Just wondering if there are any more recommendations? Twisties, views, food, I'm down to check it out. And if you see a swp brz with its front end wrapped in painter's tape, don't be hesitant to show some love! :D

If you're in the Hacienda Heights area and like asian foods, then I could give you a couple of suggestions based on what specific type of food you want (i.e. Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, etc.)

I'm open to all Asian foods actually. Taiwanese/Japanese/vegetarian/non-vegetarian/etc. I just like to keep an open mind and give anything a try.

Ok, here's a couple then...

Simbala Restaurant (Taiwanese)
18489 Colima Rd
Rowland Heights, CA 91748
**Great beef noodle soup

Tofu King (Taiwanese)
18414 Colima Rd
Rowland Heights, CA 91748
**Best Stinky tofu, if you're into that sort of thing. Definitely a VERY acquired smell.

Class 302 (Taiwanese Shaved Ice)
1015 S Nogales St
Ste 125
Rowland Heights, CA 91748

85°C Bakery (Taiwanese Bakery)
17170 Colima Rd
Hacienda Heights, CA 91745
**Amazing cakes

Ajisen Ramen (Japanese noodles)
18253 Colima Rd
Ste 104
Rowland Heights, CA 91748
**Try the premium pork... yum!

Ichi Ichi Fusion Shabu & Tempura (Japanese hot pot)
18184 Colima Rd
Rowland Heights, CA 91748
**Great sauce bar

Kagura (Japanese Sushi House)
6324 E Santa Ana Canyon Rd
Anaheim, CA 92807
**Love the Tokusen Chirashi

Thai food is the best Asian food IMO
Also do want to eat at the view or before/after?

Most likely before. Can't enjoy city lights on an empty stomach:D
