GiGi's cheap fun in LA - Home

Welcome to my totally biased guide to good times in the fabulous megalopolis that is Los Angeles. It is my aim to share the many, sometimes difficult to discover, fun places and events around the Los Angeles area. (Yes, occasionally I visit Orange County. It can be pretty happening. Really.) Most of the listings are the result of my own experience but I've also included anything that sounds intriguing.

Please use your own good judgement and verify that the listed information is current. I have tried to include phone numbers wherever possible. If you find that you are not impressed with my recommendations, well, you must have a lame idea of a good time. No one said you had to take my word for it.

Do you like drinks that taste like Snapple but with lots of alcohol? Do you have a fondness for loud Hawaiian shirts and pseudo-Polynesian objects d'art? I think you know where I'm going here...It's TIKI TIME!

Having spent my childhood years in Oregon, occasionally I long for a more natural surrounding. Los Angeles is conveniently located between beautiful, sunny beaches and mountain wilderness. But if this is a bit too much nature or if I’m pressed for time, I have a few centrally located places where I go to get in touch with my inner Girl Scout.


Bummed out that your favorite tomorrowland is history? Well check this out. Here are my favorite space age locales and they won’t charge you $35 at the door.


people have been here and it's not even done yet.
Come back tomorrow, it'll be even better!
