I don't care where in Southern California we have it as long as we have it. And as long as I don't spend half a day driving there and half a day driving home. (And as long as I'm not asked to take in another cat!) Obviously I'd be happier if we had a meetup in the Los Angeles area, and there is...

I'm hoping that discussion of local restaurants will, ah, get the juices flowing and spur readers of this forum to discuss WHERE we can go for a meetup, not just IF there is going to be a meetup. :notvegan: So, my first choice:...

hi - i'm going to be going to LA for a few days and wonder if there are any good health food stores worth going out of my way for. i know that there's that a good one in the valley (don't remember the name), but other than that, i dunno. ideas?

So, I'm in a bit of a career limbo at the moment, so I've had a lot of time to be introspective and stuff. Who am I, What do I want out of life, What are my dreams... etc.... I've been living in Hawaii for 9 years, and I absolutely love it here. I had been planning on moving to Honolulu in...

I've tried this place a couple of times, and what I've had so far is REALLY good. I haven't gone back because they're a little expensive for somebody who isn't currently employed, but I'd love to try them again soon anyway. I stumbled across them in May of this year; they'd only been open about...

So, I need to find a great place to get my eyebrows waxed in Los Angeles. I'm assuming that not all waxes/spas are cruelty free and want to phase all that out of my life :) I live in WeHo but will drive for fabulous brows... Merci!

I'm going to be stopping off in San Francisco for a week in May and am just starting to plan my trip, does anyone have any recommendations on places to eat? there seem to be so many to choose from on happycow! I'm travelling alone so I prefer casual type of places, also i'll be staying in the...

Hello all, I'm going to be moving from the UK to Pasadena in a couple of months. I've been out once before, but only for a couple of days, so its all a bit scary :\ Can anyone reccomend good places to eat/shop/go etc? Sorry, I realise it's a bit of a broad question, but I really have no clue - I...

It looks like we have numerous fires going again. I think one is near AmySF isn't it? It also looks like they are in the vicinity of 3 large animal sanctuaries. :(

I live in Huntington Beach. I love Good To Go on Warner, Au Lac in FV, and Bohdi Tree on Main St.

I'm in the process of moving to Monterey. And I'm sure if any of you live in this area or have lived here before, you know that "process" is a very generous way to describe the housing search... I've seen there's a Trader Joe's, a Whole Foods, and I know about Tillie Gort's. So now what does a...

Hey fellow vegans, recently I obtained some lab tests and took samples from a wide range of Los Angeles vegan restaurants to see if the food contained casein, eggs or shellfish. The results were pretty surprising. Lots of places came out completely clean, but you would be shocked at how many...
