Gastro-pub in LA Arts District. This is usually where I would start my night if I plan on a night out in DTLA. They have plenty of custom brews on tap and a good selection of tasty modern American cuisine. I usually go to Angel City Brewery after this. It is walking distance from each other.

Ever try an escape game? If not, give this place a try. You and your team get locked up in a room and you have to figure out all the puzzles and clues inside the room to get out. Usually about $30-$40 per person per hour. The last one I did was Harry Potter inspired called school of sorcery and we had a great time.

I read about this place on a Los Angeles Times article about easy off-roading for those of us with CUV like Subaru Foresters, Honda CRV, or Toyota RAV4. Turned out to be really fun and exciting just be careful not to follow the Black Diamond trails if you're not sure your car's off roading capabilities.

If you're in the Palm Springs Area, you should definitely check out Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. The tram will take you up 8000 ft and you will experience a 30-degree F temperature drop. Pristine forest in the mountain top with great hiking trails. The altitude may affect some. Also bring warm clothing because it is 30-degrees colder at the top.
