Quarters is in the heart of LA's vibrant Korea-town. Expect long waits unless you've pre-booked at this infamous Korean Barbecue restaurant where you cook your choice of meats yourself over an open grill. Well worth the trip if you're feeling adventurous.

Entertainment & Activities

Harry Potter World opened last year and it's AMAZING!! So are the live shows and rides. If you don't want to spend loads of cash of the park entry then just grab a taxi up City Walk and spend the evening walking around and enjoying the vibes. The Cinema now has reclining seats so you can enjoy the latest Hollywood blockbusters in blissful comfort.

Studio City's oldest gay bar, Oil Can Harrys is quite an experience and about 3 minutes walk from the Studio. Only open certain nights of the week it is always a fun place to hang out, gay or straight. Tuesday's and Fridays they have line dancing (on Fridays they also have the best Karaoke in Hollywood upstairs) and Saturdays, from memory, is retro dance night. Entry is generally about $5.
