- Watching One of Your Favorite TV Sitcoms Being Taped: Alternately boring and fascinating (the old hurry-up-and-wait syndrome), being in the audience is your chance to wander the soundstage, marvel at the cheesy three-wall sets that look so real on TV, and get an inside look at the bloopers that never make it to broadcast -- and are often far more entertaining than the scripted dialogue.
- Going to the Getty Center: I already mentioned it above and I'll mention it again here because one of L.A.'s best attractions is absolutely free (JPG don't need yo' money).
- Paying Your Respects at the Cemetery of the Stars: Spend some downtime with Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, Karen Carpenter, and all their famous pals at L.A.'s most enduring celebrity hangouts. Six public cemeteries showcase the final performances of Bette Davis, Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe, and dozens more famous names.
- Cruising Mulholland Drive: Cruise past the homes with million-dollar views, and then pull over at the public viewing pullouts to see the splayed-out city in all its smoggy glory. It's even more romantic at night, when the lights of the city and the valley twinkle below.
- Free Admission Days to L.A.'s Museums: If it's free, baby, it's for me. Almost all of L.A.'s art galleries and museums are open free to the public 1 day of the week or month (or both), and several never charge admission.
- Evening Jazz Performances: L.A.'s two major art museums offer free jazz concerts every Thursday and Friday evening. It's the perfect coda to a satisfying day of art appreciation.
- Hollywood Bowl Rehearsals: Few people know about the Bowl's morning rehearsals, which are open to the public and absolutely free. Bring coffee and doughnuts and enjoy the best seats in the house.
