How to make friends in Los Angeles as a newcomer or visitor
Los Angeles is spread out, but every neighbourhood has its own village feel.
Top 3 things to do — and how to turn them into plans

Griffith Observatory sunset
Free, iconic and full of people. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.
- 2
Taco truck crawl
The city's best food is curbside. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.

Venice to Santa Monica boardwalk
Street performers, skaters and beach all the way. On Sidecar, you can post exactly this as a plan — or join someone else's.
Sidecar is for locals meeting locals, travellers meeting locals, and fellow travellers meeting each other. Friends only.

A taco truck crawl in East LA or a Venice boardwalk stroll beats crossing the whole city.
