The best way to travel to and from LAX I could ever think of. We were refereed to Gemstar by our building management as a flat rate way to get to Burbank/LAX. We now call on these guys anytime I head to the airport which is 3-5 times a month.
They are always on time, helpful ,and have a pretty solid fleet. My favorite airport ride is the Chrysler 300c SRT but they only have two I think in the total fleet. Put in a request for one if you can when booking a reservation.

Alondra Hot Wings
Categories: American (Traditional), Barbeque, Pizza
While I cannot vouch for the wings here I have to admit the pizza isn't that bad. This is one of those places that I just happen to eat when I am doing work or having meetings in downtown Long Beach.
We always seem to get quick service here and the place never seems to be very crowded. I have been a few times and the wings here really just don't do it for me like some other people here have said. So go with a group and order up some pizza, it's a 3/5 star quality pizza and finding that high of a pizza rating fro me in Los Angeles means they are doing something right.

Macy's Mission Road Furniture Outlet
Category: Furniture Stores
Neighborhood: Lincoln Heights
I will offer the disclaimer that I am a guy so I am not the pickiest when it comes to my living room furniture but I have to feel like this place was a score. After debating on going to Ikea we opted a used piece from Macy's would be higher quality for the same price assuming we could find something.
Now I can totally see how this place would be hit or miss but with a good hour hunting through the store we found a golden nugget. A brown suede 6 foot by 18 foot by 6 foot sectional U couch for $1,646 with 40% markdown. The thing was in mint condition.
A little tip after talking to someone who worked there, the marked discount goes from 10% to 40% depending on how long the item has sat in the store. It has nothing to do with any other variable which was interesting.
The place is no Macy's that you would find anywhere else. It is a no frills warehouse that shockingly had a public bathroom. Delivery is $100 flat rate to anywhere in Los Angeles. It is a guessing game by far going here above anywhere else but it just could pay off. Going while willing to sacrifice a few of your wants I would say is the easiest way for you to come home happy.

Carmine's
Category: Italian
Neighborhood: Theater District
The portions are huge but people seem to equate that with quality and the food is missing that. The atmosphere is loud and our server was just overbearing at best. The bread was the best part of the meal and when our $30 lasagna plate came out I was underwhelmed. That is a ton of lasagna to be underwhelmed by.
On another embarrassing note, I walked into the bathroom and apparently was not quite paying much attention. After taking care of business I walked over to the sink, turned the water on, and motioned to my left for some soap. A soap like dispenser is sitting there but it's not soap! That would be full of mouthwash that I just smeared over my hands. The soap is in front of the sink up on the wall. *shrugs* I only tell you about my embarrassment in hopes to prevent your own, haha.
This is a place I would consider coming back to with a larger group but let me tell you, better Italian food can be found in New York with minimal effort.

Sweet & Vicious
Category: Lounges
Neighborhood: Nolita
We went for a quick after dinner drink here and it was exactly a three star rating, a-ok. The drinks were pretty cheap and the frozen margarita I tried a friend of mine ordered was pretty good. The music and atmosphere and lacking here and the outdoor seating seems nice but the whole setup of the place is underwhelming at best.
We didn't last very long here and nothing really encourages you or "sucks you in" like most lounges with their atmosphere. The "DJ" who sat at the end of the bar with a Mac laptop must be deaf because he played some of the worst music I could ever imagine for a lounge. Not to mention the place was LOUD for a lounge. It was bordering with a nightclub identity crisis.

Let me get the few small downsides out of the way so we can relish on how awesome this place is. You are going to wait 30-45 minutes to sit down and eat so be ready. You will also sit at a table that won't fit your plates. It will feel like your eating with the two couples on either side of you but your not, so don't try stealing their food for samples.
Order the Grilled Corn Mexican style. I don't care if you hate corn (like me) you will die for this stuff. I was talked into eating some and didn't regret one bite I took of this stuff.
For my meal I scored a cuban sandwich that was spot on. New York isn't a place you expect to taste some delicious Cuban treats but they have it. Some other pluses here are they have the cutest and sweetest servers I have found anywhere in Soho. Along with all this place has to offer it has great value for it's price. If your in Soho with a craving this place is a MUST stop.

While I think it's the best wash in the area they still don't overwhelm me like some other car wash places do outside of Hollywood. However, I lost my wallet a few weeks before taking my car to get washed and they found it while cleaning my car. They walked over and handed it to me right away as it was wedged between the seat and the console. A++ for that one.

I just drove across the country and moved into the general area of this place and after reading the Yelp review I had to go. A hand car was was a big plus for me picking this place and the price. Both of these things were at par and at 9am on Monday I had no wait as some of the reviews spoke about.
They did an awesome job and even found my missing wallet that had been gone for about a year and was never found when other car washes cleaned the car. It was a great joy when the wallet was sitting on my driver's seat upon the return of my car. A fun place and the people watching under the tens seems like it could just get more exciting as some other reviewers have touched on so swing by and you should get the best .

The food is solid and the chicken is to die for! This place has to be the best spot to eat in the local area that we tried. The lunch specials are some of the best prices I could imagine paying for food. Yellow rice and beans which come with your chicken lunch special have a very authentic South American taste.
The staff was nice and the place is very clean. The crowd wasn't too large for lunch so it seems like a place you could sneak in for a quick lunch hour. They also have outdoor seating for those 25 nice days a year they have in NYC.

Went here while staying with a friend since it's the local neighborhood pizza spot. The slices were huge in portion and great for the price but the sauce is just too sweet. I am not quite sure why but it's a strikeout compared to some top notch New York Pizza I have had before.
I have a much higher standard for NYC pizza than anywhere else in the world so I might be a tad harsh in the department. My friend brought some pasta home the same evening and it fell into the same category, just kind of underwhelming. I wouldn't come out of my way to eat here but before I leave Tuesday I will be eating the pizza again, I am a whore for convenience!

The staff was super friendly and the place has a very homely feel to it. I had a meat combo plate which came with some chicken and beef kabobs. The cabbage salad is fantastic and tabbouleh was made fresh! If you have some hesitations about middle eastern food this is the place to step out of your boundaries and stuff your face. The staff would be glad to assist your taste buds into eating the food for your liking. Parking is pretty easy as they have a nice lot behind the building.
