In many ways I like to think of of We Like L.A. as book.

Experience by experience, place by place, narrative by narrative we try to tell the story of the best that Los Angeles has to offer and all the things you can do in our great city.

And if that’s the case then of course we need the thing that all city guide books have: an index. Welp, consider this page our index.

Below you’ll find a massive list of stuff you can do in Los Angeles, alphabetized (with zero spend to-do’s notated as FREE) and linked to pages where you can find more information about the event, venue, activity, or place.

Granted, an alphabetical listing isn’t always the most useful for finding niche specific topics, but thankfully we’ve already started the process of parsing the list in articles such as:

We’ve put together the below list of stuff to do with the hopes that folks will help us fill in the gaps of what we might have missed by commenting below. We’ve already included hundreds of items for you to explore, but we know there’s always more out there, and that’s where we need your help.

Basically, if you think it belongs on the master listing, let us know!
