SoCal Food/Grub Thread

Had Milk for the first time.

That Thai tea ice cream sandwich was something else.

And also ate at Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong. Arguably the best Korean BBQ I've ever had.

I also just moved here from the bay a few months ago, and I was wondering what are some must eat restaurants/foods in LA? So far, I've had things like AYCE Korean bbq, Roscoe's, King Taco, and a couple ramen joints. Any good  places you guys can recommend?

I'm pretty late but thanks for the recommendation. I just ended up going to Yard House lol, but there were a bunch of other cool places around.

BTW, does anyone know any good rooftop bars/lounges in LA that play good hip hop and aren't too expensive? I'll be having some friends visiting from out of town and they want to get that LA rooftop bar experience

Thanks, and I shot with a Nikon D5100. Most of the time I use the 18/55 lens since it's the easiest one to use...

I'm sure you prob don't care what people think but when you first started taking pictures, did everyone look at you like "wtf is that guy doing ?" I take my camera everywhere and I'm slowly getting over that phase where I could care less what people think. I just wanted to see if I was the only one who felt like that at first.

I carry my camera in my backpack, and pull it out whenever it's needed. I Don't really care what people think, if anything most are intrigued by what I'm doing, or why I'm doing what I'm doing. Some even ask. I'll tell you this much, if you're single and trying to talk to girls, it's a great ice breaker lol

Sometimes it gets weird whenever I'm trying to take a pic of what shoes I'm wearing. I guess that comes off as showing off or something. You eventually forget people are looking...
