LA’s Hot List: Favorite Places

Where do ELC Los Angeles students like to go? Everywhere! Here are some of our favorites.

  • Every Friday, our students go to Westwood Brewery Company because it’s the best place for happy hour near the school, and a great place to socialize with other ELC students!
  • After school, you might find ELC students partying at The Glendon, which is close to the school and has a great atmosphere.
  • If you want to eat some great pizza and have a drink in a nice bar, you should go to The Palamino.
  • To try great Mexican food (something California is famous for!), we recommend that you go to Acapulco’s!
  • Maybe you’ve heard of the famous Barney’s Beanery? This rock-and-roll themed bar and restaurant is a must-see in Los Angeles!
  • If you like beer and burgers, you must go and visit Stout bar in Hollywood.
  • For one of the best brunches in Los Angeles, try The Alcove!
  • To watch some American sports, you should visit Big Wang’s! You can also eat American-style chicken wings.
  • ELC students often get their coffee from the nearby Peets, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, or Starbucks before their morning classes!
  • If you want to try some really authentic Thai food, ELC students can visit Thai town. Or if they’d prefer to try some Korean BBQ, they can catch the bus to Koreatown!
  • Students who love to shop for unique or vintage clothes often head to Melrose Avenue to check out boutique stores. There’s even a market on Melrose/Fairfax on Sundays at the Fairfax High School.
  • Students enjoy window-shopping in the very exclusive Rodeo Drive area. Fans of cheesecake may also want to stop by the Cheesecake Factory and enjoy a huge slice!
  • ELC students who are looking for brand stores head out to The Grove. It’s right next to the Farmer’s Market, so they can combine their shopping trip with a delicious snack.
  • ELC students can often by found at The Playhouse on a Friday or Saturday night enjoying the weekend scene and good music.

Lalo & Sophie share their love for Boston

Lalo & Sophie share their love for Boston…

SOPHIE Hey guys! We are Lalo and Sophie. We have been hanging around in Boston for almost half a year, not only here but also to different places like New York, Chicago, Washington…
LALO Oh! The two last ones only me… Lalo. About our experience at ELC Boston, what can we tell you? We need to improve our English, don’t we? Well… I’d said it’s the best of both worlds. You will get a great chance to put in practice your English most of the day while meeting students from all around the world. Sometimes I feel I’m forgetting my native language! Getting along is the easiest thing between the classmates and the teachers. You will even see a smile from the School Director… just don’t be late to class.
SOPHIE Boston is a small town; we can’t deny it, but guys you will always find something to do here. It’s also a pretty cosmopolitan where you can try school afternoon activities, including going out to cheap restaurants, museums, the aquarium, walking around the Harvard University, and oh! If you folks are over 21 you can try joining to the Happy Hour.
LALO Boohoo!
SOPHIE Oh yeah! Lalo couldn’t go. He is only 19. But hey! You had fun trying the bowling, ice-skating and the Lady Gaga concert, don’t you? Without mentioning those great deals in the outlets, or that beautiful landscape we enjoyed at the top of Prudential Tower looking the city view by night, or when we chilled at the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum seeing the art collection.
LALO What about the food? Oh my God! Sophie, do you remember that cheesecake we had at the Cheesecake Factory and those scrumptious hamburgers at the Cheers Bar.
SOPHIE Check it out, before you leave, for eating a lobster, the specialty of Beantown, Boston’s nickname.
LALO Wow! It’s funny to think about all the stuff we have done. Crazy, but not as crazy as going to three Red Sox baseball games to watch them lose, or the Bruins failing against Vancouver in that hockey game. We did well in buying those cheaper tickets! The good deal here I would say are the Celtics basketball games. I love them; they are the best. But hey! Please don’t get angry with me, that just my opinion… See you around! … And never wear a Yankees shirt here in Boston. Believe me, I know what I’m talking about!
