Last week, as we launched the contest for tix to see Gilberto Gil and Devendra Banhart at the Hollywood Bowl, we asked you to tell us your favorite places to celebrate summer in L.A. Some answers:
Alexander: My favorite spot in LA is downtown LA. There are a lot of swimming pools on the rooftops and there's a bunch of bars and museums, and Little Radio has BBQs on Saturdays.
Cathy: My favorite summer places in LA are Evenings sitting on a bench up at the observatory with the breeze
looking at the lights in the Los Angeles basin. Daytime strolling around the Santa Monica pier especially during the
twilight dance concerts.
Jamie: One of my favorite summer afternoon things to do is to sit in the shade at the Trails Cafe, on Ferndell in Griffith park, and eat one of the yummy tomato tarts with a glass of lemonade... mmm, summery!
Mitch: The best place to spend the summer in L.A? Has to be the ice skating rink in Culver City. You wouldn't know it's summer...'til you walk outside.
Loren: El Matador State Beach in Malibu, more specifically one of the beach caves accessible at low tide but more challenging to reach once the swell increases.
Allison: My favorite place to spend the summer is at the Hollywood Bowl-duh!
Iko: Scoops!
Leslie: My favorite place to spend the summer in Los Angeles is Runyon Canyon in those early evening hours of sunlight. Perfect temperature and light for hiking without sweating up a storm.
Margaret: Mothers' Beach
Ivona: I am not sure does it count, since it is not a part of the LA per se, but more part of the LA region. I loooooove jumping on cat express, going to Two Harbors, and then do a hike to Shark Cove. Beautiful beach on the other side of the island, nice surfing, great diving, perfect chillin out area. And sunset, definitely one of the best ones in this area.
Don: So many places to be in the summer, but I'd have to pick hiking in the San Gabriels as my pick.
Bob: Self-Realization Lake Shrine.
We'll reveal the winner tomorrow!
