Sorry that you're felling ddf is not so welcoming, unfortunately your not the first one to feel this way. It's the result of ddf being like a brotherhood. People on here know each other for sometime and by default a newcomer will often feel somewhat left out. But hang around, continue to contribute ( by the way, i read your review, was great, nice and detailed. Just because nobody commented doesn't mean it's wasn't well received) and soon enough you'll be part of the ddf family

I actually read the review as well, was a bit too detailed for me. All in all a good review though.

Are there any good redemptions for a Marriott certificate Cat 1-4 in the La area?

Best option I've found is the residence inn camarillo. It's about 10 minutes away from tierra sur- nice to not have to drive back to LA after a big meal and wine.

Not gonna happen in LA proper, especially since like 10-15 of the LA marriot properties went up in March...

Has anyone used the living social for tierra sur? Also any suggested activities on way up there from La?

Yes, people have used it. Please look at the wiki map for ideas. I don't know what you like doing, so I couldn't possibly suggest anything.

Just used it last week. Paid $40 with referral credit. Tasting was fun, got a $10 bottle of wine and a couple of wine glasses.

Staying in N Hollywood (N Sweetzer off Beverly) next Shabbos (June 26, Chukas), any idea for the best minyanim (preferably carlebachy)? I know there is the happy minyan all the way on pico, anywhere closer? And any public Shabbos meals (fine with paying) with good food and u can bring kids?

First of all you're in West Hollywood, not North Hollywood. 2nd, look at the wiki map for closest minyan (YILA IIRC). No public meals (not sure about chabad), but tons of take out options.

thx, I saw and appreciate all the great info in the wiki and in prior posts. wondering whether YILA or YINBH would have a special, more musical davening (or if there is some other local minyan not on the map), or if there may be a special program (young professionals or something) with a dinner we could hop into.

All the minyanim I know of (with one exception of Kahal Chasidim in Pico) are on the map (especially in that area). GMaps should tell you if YILA or YINBH is closer. Still no meals.

There is a public meal at like $20 a pop but I think it is in Pico. Will try to find out more info

back in the day they sold kosher airline meals at the restaurant by pirates of the caribbean. not sure if that helps you or whether they still do

[thaber]

Irvine will have daily minyanim. the traffic there between 7 and 10 am either way could easily triple the 20 minutes. ditto for 4-7 pm

there are 4 minyanim not on that map that are closer to where you are staying.
R' Adlers shul is on Beverly a block or two west of Fairfax.
Baba Sali(R' Harrosh) is big building corner Fairfax and Oakwood (sfardi).
R' Ginsburgs Shul is also on Beverly about two blocks east of Fairfax.
Continue about another two blocks for Tiferes Tzvi(Ganzwieg).
None of these are Carlebachy or anything like that
