After three years of living in Los Angeles, it’s become obvious that all the genetic dispositions and traits I adapted to thrive in New York’s dating scene are completely useless when dating in Los Angeles. As an east coast sarcastic Jew, I was clearly bred with the ability to pass on my DNA in environments [...]

I Suck At Dating In L.A. For The Same Reason That Finches on Each Galapagos Island Have Different Beaks
5 Best Bike Lanes in Los Angeles
5. Chandler Boulevard One of the newest bicycle right-of-ways in the city, this stretches across nearly the entire valley floor from one side of boring, ghetto suburbia to the other. There’s not a lot of sun cover, which makes the Chandler path useless from May through October, and you have to stop frequently at intersections, [...]
The Entire Purpose of the Valley Is For Hidden Camera MTV Shows. And That's Why We Need It

So, fuck [...]
The Best Thing About Not Driving Is You Don't Have to Listen to Kings of Leon
Most advocates against driving say that by taking the bus, riding a bike or walking to work in Los Angeles helps to reduce traffic and pollution, not to mention the stress of sitting bumper-to-bumper on the 10. But I think that the most underrated asset to not being in a car is that it makes [...]
Why Going to Dodger Games is Like Miranda's Dilema in the Sex and the City Movie
Out of the 18-or-so stadiums I’ve had the chance to visit (that comes off more pathetic than accomplished), there isn’t one that comes close to Dodger Stadium’s disparity between how much I enjoy it and how much I hate it. This is an awful analogy because not only do I have to reveal that I [...]
