While this is a 6-7 hour experience and it doesn't involve flying places, or dealing with obtrusive camera crews following you, and there aren't prizes for coming in first at every leg (there is a prize if you win the whole day), it's a nonstop experience with different elements of the amazing race. Solving puzzles. Memorizing facts. Some competitive play. Some cultural learning. My advice if you sign up is READ THE CLUES carefully. It was a joy teaming up with my wife as we zoomed through Orange County on a fun adventure. Bottom line, would I do this again? Absolutely.

Over the years they've made my bike green, added heated grips, folding mirrors, powertank and even put an 2016 SR motor and motor controller in. I've enjoyed their ability to help personalize my vehicle aesthetically and mechanically. In the process of going in and out of their shop I became good pals with Carl who is knowledgeable about electric vehicles, cars, motorcycles. He also happens to be a fantastic musician in Los Angeles. One time after I got my bike serviced he was heading the same direction as me and we rode for about 70 miles together on electric motorcycles. I also appreciate their care in regards to COVID-19 safety. I worked at a motorcycle dealership in college and it's clear to see this place is so much more than a typical motorcycle dealership. I highly recommend if you are even curious about electric motorcycles to stop in and sit down and chat with their staff. It's worth learning about and if you have a motorcycle endorsement go on a test ride just to see what it's all about. I'm looking forward to the next time I get to stop in but the bikes are really reliable so you don't need to bring them in often. Thank you Harlan, Carl, Tyler for the awesome service! -Alex

I brought my two daughters (12 and 14) to the Petersen Automotive Museum yesterday, and even though…read morethey weren't excited when I told them the plan that morning, the visit completely changed their minds. Within about ten minutes of walking in, they both admitted that the museum was actually really cool. The movie and TV cars were a huge hit. Seeing vehicles from Fast & Furious, Stranger Things, and other shows they recognized made everything instantly more fun. From there, they got pulled into the history, the rare models, and the stories behind each car. It turned into a full family adventure. We also had great conversations with several docents. They were incredibly knowledgeable and answered even the most random questions with enthusiasm. Their passion added so much to the experience. We spent around two and a half to three hours exploring, and it was absolutely worth the cost. Admission was about $50 per person and parking was $20, and honestly, I'd pay it again without hesitation. My daughters left smiling, talking about their favorite cars, and already asking what else the museum has. Fantastic visit. Highly recommend.

I was psyched to find out there was an event here at the original farmer's market because I already enjoy coming here when it's themeless. The mini pumpkins and an art kit to decorate your pumpkin was free! I was very surprised. There were shaded tables and chairs for the decorating. My toddler loved it. They gave a plate of 4 paint colors, glue, googly eyes, glitter and gems to decorate the pumpkin. There were also free games for kids (corn hole, bowling, etc). There was a a small petting zoo as well and some photo opportunities with pumpkins, scare crows and hay bales. There was live music from a Tiki band (?). The bad: We parked at the farmer's market parking which cost $5 even with validation. The interesting: There weren't as many events or people as I expected here.

The quintessential place to go when you're in LA. Such great history here-opened in the 1930s. My…read moreparents used to bring out-of-state guests here when I was a kid. It has changed a lot since then but still has most of its 20th century charm. I remember spotting TV actors very often when we'd be there in the 1960s. I looked in just about every store. There's lots of fresh (and exotic) produce. There's a French store, meat market, empanada store, souvenir store and even an old fashioned camera (with film) store. My favorites, as always, are the baked goods and candy. And I saw a $200 jar of honey! Literally something for everyone. There's a noodle place I'm gonna try next time for sure. I started out at DuPars for a short stack of their famous pancakes and life will never be the same! In LA, parking is hard to find and expensive! But here the first 90 minutes are free if you get validated. I love this market. And I cannot wait to return. When you're in Los Angeles, you should stop in.

As a Bingo fanatic, I was absolutely so so so excited to see how Bingo was at Hamburger Mary's! I…read morehad never been, and it seemed to be something that would be right up my alley... Yet the experience was nothing more than displeasing... The Bingo event itself was a 10 game 3 card set, and it cost $20 for charity, awesome! But, little did we know that playing Bingo here would come with ridicule, hostility, and a vibe of just "getting this over with". The even was slated to start at 7:00 so we arrived at 6:30 to eat, but they didn't start till 7:30 without even telling anyone waiting, which began to annoy many customers. The intermission was also supposed to be 15 minutes but when from 8:05 to 8:40... As the game went on, they would call the balls so rapidly that it was very difficult to process and keep up. In addition, they don't display them. When they were asked to slow down, he gave a stern "No.", which honestly came off as a racially charged response to the woman just trying to keep up. They just do this for your money, it most likely doesn't go to charity, and they don't have a sense of actually just having a good time playing bingo. Hamburger Mary's needs to reassess this event and their continuation of the "Bingo Boy" ...who is essentially just that. Acting like a child, trying to get what he wants. Which is just money.

Having fun while supporting a good cause (charity of the night) = 5 stars!…read moreDoing it with Drag Queens who will spank you if you ask nicely- even better! I don't think I have played Bingo for at least a decade, and before last night, I had never played the version in which you have to mark your card in the shape of a rim job (the boxes directly around the free spot). Or a stripper pole ("Pole Dancer"). Why else is Legendary Bingo so much cooler than regular ol' Bingo? ~Well for starters, you have a great Drag Queen (Belle Aire) calling the Bingo numbers. ~All the creative things that go along with calling the Bingo numbers (O-68- I'll owe you one) ~If you call out Bingo and you don't have it, you get spanked. Yes we witnessed this; you know who you are. ;) ~When you do win, you have to run around so everyone can throw their crumpled up loser Bingo cards at you ~The prizes are interesting to say the least. My wife and I won several man on man porn DVDs in a bag full of condoms and lube. Even if we have absolutely no use for any of this, it was still hilarious to win it! It was especially hilarious when another girl won and our Bingo announcer made a joke about how all the lesbians are winning the porn...umm, yeah....she wasn't a lesbian! Oh, we laughed so hard! So now we have a buttload of condoms and lube (bun pun intended) and know a cool place to spend Wednesday nights! We were lucky enough to find street parking on a rainy night, and the rain was nice enough to stop for us when it was time to leave. Bingo is $20 (wifey and I shared). Alcohol and food are available and the servers keep coming around, even amid the Bingo card throwing. If you are drinking a lot, you might want to have a friend play with you so you don't miss an important box on your stripper pole or rim job! I just feel sorry for whoever has to clean this place up when the night is over. The floor is *covered* in crumpled up Bingo cards and anything else people could think of throwing!

In an industry where it's easy to feel taken advantage of, he was transparent, fair, and genuinely looking out for me--not just trying to make a quick buck. He took the time to explain everything, didn't upsell me on anything unnecessary, and made sure I actually understood what was going on with my bike. That level of integrity is rare. You can tell right away that Marius isn't just great at what he does--he's a great person. The kind of guy you trust immediately and know you're in good hands with. He's earned a customer for life. I couldn't be happier with the experience and I'll be sending everyone I know his way. Highly, highly recommend.
