Visitor From the North

[Vindingo]

I'll be working in West Hollywood from the 8th-15th.  I will be riding down from SF so I will have my bike down there.  Looking for restaurant recommendations and some roads to tear up on the weekend.  Besides the boys, what else is there to do or see in the area?

West Hollywood is actually one of the nice cities in the area.  Tons of nightlife on Sunset and otherwise, TONS of good restaurants on La Cienega, Melrose, etc.  What exactly are you looking for?  Michelin 3-star or a good hole-in-the-wall?

Hole in the wall type places are cool, I want to eat some mexican down there, but some seafood, italian, or indian would be good too...

as far as roads, looking at googlemaps - mulholland drive on the edge of Topanga state park looks pretty sweet.  how are those fireroads in th state park?  Are they paved?

Welcome

As mentioned, you're staying in an area with some awesome nightlife & retsaurants.  I like Cobras & Matadors Tapas bar in Hollywood.......easy on the eyes & good, reasonable tapas.

Make sure & check out Rage on Santa Monica Blvd........ Derby & Luca LOVE it

We can plan & ride...... will you be availible on weekdays as well............. much less traffic in the canyons & way fewer  of these

For indian food, there's India's Oven on beverly and it's cheap looking, but the food is great.  If you have a few more bucks Surya is on 3rd and it'd GREAT.

For Italian, I like Ago on Melrose and La Cienega.  It's not cheap, but not awful either.

For riding, I live near ACH and do that every once in a while, but down by there, you're gonna need to ride a bit to get somewhere good.  You can take mulholland over to malibu and explore there a bit or you could head up to ACH (it's not THAT far).

I'm sure others will chime in with some more/better suggestions.

according to gmaps, ACH is only 28 miles from where Im staying.  That not bad at all!  That may be my destination for the weekend.  How are the  ?  Does that road get a lot of tourist traffic?
