LA at night

Hi,

I'm going to be in LA in the next few days and was wanting some advice on places to go at night.

We'll be staying in Hollywood area, although not in the centre of it, to the south east, near Melrose and Vine Sts, and we will have to get around on public transport or taxis if public transport doesn't run later into the night or gets unsafe?

But where can we go out for dinner and a drink after at a bar which is in quite a busy area with a lot of food choice?

Thanks for any help.

Hello I am travelling to new York on the 5th of August for 3 nights. I am looking for accommodation for my family of 6. We would like to be close to manhattan and the major new York attractions. We were thinking about Brooklyn, we would like a safe area and not too expensive. Can anyone help? Thanks

Los Angeles Transit Experiance (safety)

Hi, I'm heading to LA and will be using the transit system to get around. My last experience taking the transit in the states was in Washington, DC and well, it was quite different than in Canada. So that questions I have are this:

• In general, what is the transit system like in LA safety and comfort wise? Are there certain lines to avoid or modes (city bus, mono rails, etc)?

• Secondly, I'm heading mainly to Nokia Theater/ Staples Center from the LAX... any tips I should know about?

• And staying around that area.... any neighborhoods/areas not to walk through at night (or even the day?)?

Dublin Pre Clearance

I am flying via dublin to nyc from manchester on aer lingus. I have only just found out the plane will do the immigration pre clerance busines at dublin airport. It is flight e105 and not 109. The flight arrives at Dublin airport at 9am depart manchester at 8am (assuming that it takes off on time) and leaves for nyc at 10.45 am.

I am wondering if this will be enough time to clear both IRISH and U.S immigration. I am a eu citizen? Irish will be just a flash of a passport. U.S the full immigration procedure. Surely they wouldn't offer the flights in that combination if they thought it wasn't something that could be done?

Opnions welcome

Washington D.C.-Indiana

We're planning some family travel later this month. We'll spend the nights of July 16-18 in Washington D.C. and plan to spend the next several days driving back toward Fort Wayne, IN, planning to arrive on July 23. I'm trying to figure out where we should stop along the way. We're all adults, from 20-somethings to 70-somethings, and open to many different activities. Also, if there's anything we must do in D.C., besides the givens (Smithsonian, national monuments/memorials, etc.), let me know. Thanks for any help!

Cruising the Blues Highway (Route 61)

I think it would be cool to cruise the Blues Highway (Route 61) from Beale Street in Memphis down to New Orleans. En route are blues clubs and the Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale. Of course this is where it all began for the Blues (and Rock n Roll came from Blues). Has anyone done this and really experienced it? What was it like?

Major League Soccer Camps America

Does anybody know if MLS Camps still exist? I've got a gap year book from 2005 and the contact details and website information for MLS camps are all invalid, and so I was wondering if anybody had any knowledge whether they still run for gap year students? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
