Why we love EC Los Angeles
When most people think of Los Angeles, they imagine glamorous movie stars, the lush avenues of Beverly Hills or the beautiful sunsets over Santa Monica Pier. You can also see world-class museums such as the Getty Center and the Broad, learn to surf at Venice beach or take a hike on any of the picturesque trails. Foodies can enjoy a Mexican breakfast in Downtown, Dim Sum in Chinatown and Korean BBQ for dinner. Sign-up for a free live TV show taping or possibly a world-premiere of a movie, where you can see your favourite stars in person!
