hey guys,,
I was just wondering if you guys know any places
that I can take my girl for shopping / maybe dinner..
she loves to shop around,,so we already went to
Fashion Island by new port beach
and
Grove near by Beverly Center..
are there any other places like Grove or Fashion Island around Los Angeles,,
don't wanna go too far..but willing to drive at least 30~45 min..
if you know any places,,please let me know...
if you can give me and address or a website
i'll appreciate it..

 

-Beverly Center
-Melrose
-Shops on Robertson
-3rd street promenade

 

we've been to BC and Melrose,,
don't know about Robertson (where is it?)
and 3rd street? do you mean 3rd street over at Santa Monica?

thanks anyways

 

irvine spectrum? downtown laguna beach is nice for a diff shopping experience (no big brand names, etc)

 

souch coast plaza in costa mesa, 3rd st promenade/santa monica pier...there are a lot of nice restaurants with a great view in laguna beach or newport. the OC fair is also going on right now - not sure if you're into carnivals, but i figured i'd throw it in there anyways

 

is there a good place to shop around like 3rd street in Laguna Beach? i think there is a art museum in Laguna...right?
and where and when can I go for that OC fair?

 

I just checked out the website for Irvine Spectrum..
it looks like fashion island which looks pretty good for me..
has anybody been there? how's shopping and restaurants over there?
is it any better than Fashion island?

 

just checked out South Coast Plaza..and this place looks HUGE..keke
anyways,,
now I'm trying to find out which place is better
South Coast Plaza or Irvine Spectrum?

 

There are shops on Robertson right by the Beverly Center.

In terms of shopping, south coast is your best bet. Fashion island and irvine spectrum are both outdoors which is nice, but should also be taken into account with the heat. The spectrum does offer more food choices as far as I know.

 

it depends on what you're looking for. south coast plaza is an indoor mall with a lot of department stores and very upscale boutiques. irvine spectrum is outdoors and has a movie theater, a lot of restaurants/bars and stores.

the OC fair is at the fairgrounds in costa mesa - www.ocfair.com

 

I feel so poor going to south coast. hahaha! very nice, yet very pricey. a lot of stores you don't normally see in other malls. Spectrum is nice. has a big ferris wheel you can take your girl on.

 

Not sure if your a fan of sushi, but check out Blowfish Sushi on Sunset blvd. you can go there and its very hip and beautiful. you can also check out katana on la cienega..

 

take her to some theme parks, disney land, Magic mountain, knotss.

 

Take her to the Getty Center. You'll be coming in her mouth before you get back on Sepulveda.

 

I think I'll prefer to go outdoor..
and I will go check Robertson this weekend since I live 5 min. away from
BC..


thanks for this info.. I think I'll check out Irvine spectrum first and then maybe go to South Coast Plaza next time..
