What to do near LAX?

[n3uka]

I am flying in to LAX this Wednesday around 8pm and will have about 3 hours to kill before I need to return to the airport to pick up my boss. I will have a rental at my disposal.

Any thoughts on what to do near there? I was thinking about trying to find a decent restaurant or something. Do I even dare leave the airport? Wasn't planning on bringing cigars for the short time I will be in town. I fly out the next night.

Any advice is appreciated. Definitely will try to plan a longer visit next time.

Manhattan Beach is very close. Drive west.

Some good restaurants down there, and you can take a walk down the beach and smoke a cigar!

4.6 mi – about 9 mins
Sounds like a plan

Thanks for the info

Hey, I used to represent that remark. Spent a lot of time there before moving southward.

Definitely check out Manhattan Beach!

Well that was a crazy trip. Next time I have to try and make it for more than 24 hours.

Manhattan beach was interesting. Had a couple fish tacos at Wahoo and then grabbed some sushi at Octopus. Enjoyed sitting on the pier for a bit and relaxing. Definitely screwed up in forgetting a cigar.

I also learned that the red lights on the outside lane at LAX are also to be followed on the inner lane. It also is not recommended to talk on a cell phone as you cut off a cop trying to pull into the lane while the light you can't even see is red.

I like Wahoo, they have one in Austin.

Sorry I missed this while I was out but I would have suggested MB too so you definitely had a great suggestion there...

Wahoo's is good & Mama D's next door for Italian is great. I love the MB Pier...did you get a chance to check out that little Aquarium that's on the end? Pretty nifty.

Sorry about the traffic ticket....yikes.

Dave,
While fish tacos are good, if in the area, limited time, only one thing on my mind:

IN N OUT!!!!!!!!
