Don't drink this cocktail and don't listen to musicians: a blogger told what not to do in Los Angeles
TikTok content creator and dancer bravo_999 shared his thoughts on vacationing in Los Angeles. In his opinion, his colleagues shouldn't buy a $17 Hailey Bieber smoothie in an upscale grocery store.
He also believes that you should stay in a hotel away from Hollywood. The DailyMail writes about other recommendations provided by Matt Bravo to his readers in the video.
He wrote under his video, which has already gained almost 1 million views: "If you are visiting Los Angeles soon, these tips will help you stay safe, and save money and time!"
According to the blogger, it is not safe for tourists to stay in Hollywood or the city center, as there are "a lot of homeless people" there. In addition, he noted that these are quite criminal areas, and that sirens and helicopters are constantly heard looking for people.
One of the readers confirmed his words and said that he had witnessed such criminal events. He tried to leave the house, but everything was taped with yellow tape.
Bravo blogger further noted that Los Angeles has more non-residential areas than New York. In his opinion, "West Hollywood or Burbank" is considered a more or less safe neighborhood.
At the same time, he emphasized that tourists "should not try to stay near Disneyland" because it is very far from tourist locations.
"If you want to come and see the Beverly Hills sign, the Walk of Fame, the Santa Monica Pier, they are 45 minutes away from Disneyland without traffic," he said in the video.
According to the blogger, Los Angeles has very crazy traffic jams and drivers can wait an hour to get to Los Angeles from Hollywood. He also recommended that tourists use other airports in California.
"If you can and you're flying domestically, just fly through Hollywood Burbank Airport or Long Beach Airport. It will be much faster for them to get in and out," he said.
Speaking about the Walk of Fame, he mentioned that musicians can expect an inexperienced tourist here.
Musicians will try to give away mixtapes and CDs for free, but this price will not last long.
"They will try to give it to you for free, but then they will ask you for money," Bravo said.
The blogger recommended saying "No" to such artists and keeping walking.
Bravo also mentioned a popular cocktail that he thinks you shouldn't try.
"Don't go to Erewhon and buy that Hailey Bieber. I tried it for myself, and yes, the smoothie is good, but it's not worth $17," he said firmly.
He is referring to Hailey Bieber's Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie.
Bravo believes that you can get a "much better" smoothie at a regular coffee shop without spending a lot of money.
The users under the video even noted several areas of downtown Los Angeles. One of them wrote that the DTLA district is the best.
"But it's important to know where to stay," other readers echoed this comment.
Some said they would rather stay in "South Park or the financial district."
