Getting Around
Parking sucks downtown, so try taking the gold line there! Still a novelty to most Angelenos, this is a fun way to get those steps in and not deal with parking. Get a unique perspective as you float on the rails above knotted freeways. This station has a free parking lot, so I usually drive and park here. You can always take a Lyft back... to the parking lot and the drive home. Okay, I get that this sounds ridiculous. But this is something I actually do sometimes. The red line will take you to Hollywood (walk to Tiki Ti, Vista Theater).
