\nand for good reason. Los Angeles is not only the entertainment capital
\nof the world, but it also offers visitors over 300 museums to explore.
\nAdd on the city\u2019s rich culinary scene and 75 miles and coastline and it
\nis no wonder that many flock to Los Angeles for a vacation. While you
\nmight be headed to LA, you can make a number of mistakes as a tourist.
\nTo avoid being labeled one of those tourists, here are a few ways to
\nblend in with the locals.
\nKnow That It\u2019s Not Always Sunny:<\/strong>
\nMany tourists arrive to Los Angeles in flip-flops and shorts, expecting
\nthe weather to be hot and sunny. While the summers can be warm,
\ntemperatures can vary greatly depending on if you are on the coast or
\ninland. Los Angeles also tends to cool off by the afternoon on the
\ncoast. In addition, the marine layer can roll in and make LA downright
\nchilly. While you might be under the impression that it\u2019s always sunny
\nin Los Angeles, be sure to do a quick check of the weather for the exact
\npart of Los Angeles you will be visiting before you start packing you
\nbags.<\/p>\n
\nBeing a major city, Los Angeles is home to a wealth of restaurants and
\nattractions that have been featured in television shows, articles and
\npopular media as where you need to go. Before you join a four-hour line
\nfor a hot dog, know that most locals don\u2019t stand in long lines for these
\nattractions and restaurants, many of which have been over-hyped. If you
\nsee a line in Los Angeles, it usually equals an extremely touristy
\nexperience. If you want to blend in, go where there are no lines and
\ncrowds.
\nAvoid Dressing Over-The-Top:<\/strong> As a whole,
\nLos Angeles is a casual city. You won\u2019t see overly formal dress when you
\ntravel around town. For many, a nice pair of jeans and a smart blouse
\nor shirt will work well in Los Angeles. Going more formal can leave you
\nstanding out and thus not blending into to Los Angeles. Even donning
\nathletic gear that that is slim and trim won\u2019t be frowned upon in LA.<\/p>\n
