Los Angeles

As a New Yorker, you are not supposed to like LA. But I totally like LA. In fact, I LIKE IT A LOT. I used to travel there for work pretty often and I really did love sprawling out all over that urban sprawl. It also helped that a few of my best friends live there (shout out to Shelby, Sam and Conor!) so that made exploring neighborhoods/eating at restos/going out that much more funsies.
