So after four years of school in Washington, DC, I finally moved to the west coast. Just signed the lease and moved into a place in Santa Monica at 23rd and Arizona, for those familiar with the area. Since I'm totally new to this city, I thought that would be a good excuse for a resource thread.

Like the other two versions, please include any and all reccomendations for great places to hang out, shop, eat, drink, excercise, etc. Please include at least a brief description of the places you list. Hopefully this will give me, and all the other LA area 2+2ers a good list of stuff to do.
