Well first off, it’s ATEEZ week coming up in Los Angeles. So, I will give you 8 things to do in Los Angeles! As well as some bonus stuff, because who would I be if I didn’t? Haha! Welcome to the first LA locals list! There will be vlogs and interviews in the near future. But for now, here’s a list of things to do.

I am not listing too many places (by name), but if you want to recommend some or you have a business, shoot us a message! I might come up with a new list or edit this one.

If you are not an ATINY or ATEEZ fan, you can still use this list as a template for your trip in Los Angeles.

1. Visit a Cafe

You have to start the day off right, right? Let’s get some fuel by visiting a cafe.

If not, try other underground cafe’s and support small and/or local businesses! That really rocks and you’ll find the quality of the items slap!

If you are looking for cafes that are photo ready, you don’t have to look too far. Los Angeles has it all. You will get that photo worthy picture every time. Oh, and don’t forget to take your photocards and plushies for a fun picture to really show your vibe!

Bonus: There are usually a bunch of events you can check out with your fav. I’ve seen dance parties, clubs, and of course cafe’s hosting events. But you might have to do some research. Look for specific cafe’s hosting cupsleeve events or other ATINY events. I think that will really boost the day.

—————————————————————-

An awesome event that we are highlighting is hosted by Hailey House Imnida. It is a two-day cupsleeve event in Los Angeles! It is called There are 3 different donation tiers, and everything looks amazing! There will be a lot of themed drinks and fun activities. And most importantly, you will meet many awesome ATINY. The cup sleeve designs are also very aesthetically pleasing and will be perfect for photos.

It will be hosted in PLAY KPOP CAFE. More details are below:

Location: 333 S Alameda ST 103, Los Angeles, California 90013 Date(s): 7/20-7/21 Time: 12pm-4:30pm

Check it out! You won’t regret it.

2. Visit the Grammy Museum

Yes, yes. This one is important. The KQ ENT. (ATEEZ & xikers):

Check hours and dates. But it is only up for a little bit more. There are other exhibits to also visit as well. They are going to be here from April 10th-July 22nd. Don’t miss out. There is a lot of cool things in display for both groups. But since were on the topic of ATEEZ, the Crazy Form fits and accessories are on display.

Bonus: There are two events coming up:

-ATEEZ + Xikers Pop-up Fan Event

(This event is over…today actually (…yesterday now))

This is the perfect place to see more ATINY (ATEEZ fans) as well as road𝓨 (xikers’ fans).

The description on the site details this day will be spent:

Trading cup sleeves and photocards that are exclusively at the museum.

As well as enjoying “Korean snacks” inspired by the groups.

The event was from 12-3pm Saturday (yesterday)

-A Conversation With ATEEZ

Well, this one is a waitlist thing now as some ATINY was quicker than me…

I’m on a waitlist and very sad about this one haha…

The day will be Monday July 22 at 2pm. So don’t miss out! It would be perfect after the concert.

3. Collect your merch at Hello82 LA

This is not a sponsored post. Though…you can hit us up anytime Hello82 Los Angeles! 

This is a place most ATINY call home. Any ATEEZ related thing will be pretty much here. 

All of the tour merch will be available here as well. So, if you don’t have any yet and want to, there you go!

I’m not a gatekeeper, I just keep you up to date so I must mention this:

There is a fan sign event actually on the way from July 10th-July 15th. It is the same day as the Grammy Museum appearance. So yeah! Try your luck at this. Please be considerate of other ATINY if you already had a chance, though…I know this is a hot take already. I have tried before, and I was one number off. I almost cried…almost. But I might try again. 

Bonus: Hello 82 allows you to host your events as well. I recommend applying if you ever want to have a good time with some cool people!

4. ROADTRIP!

Let’s have some funnnnnnn!

ENTERTAINMENT: 

Los Angeles has arenas on arenas on arenas. There are many events happening here so check your calendar. I’m not going to recommend you check out other artists because ATEEZ will come and track me down, but if you want to…don’t blame me.

You can also watch some movies! There are Drive In theaters still around, which is very cool! I recommend that if you don’t want to go the other route, which is just as cool.

Museums is another chill option to be entertained and learn a few things. There are also 

Filming locations: Yes, a lot of people go to places where their favs filmed at or took pictures. The purpose is to recreate the pictures. Same with films. A lot of people enjoy that. So, if you want to make it like a scavenger hunt, try it. Traveling is pricey though…but if money isn’t an issue (must be nice lol), try this!

THEME PARKS! There are many theme parks, but you’re going to have to travel out.

THE FAIR: Unfortunately, the LA county fair is now gone, but if you’re willing to travel out here’s the thing for you! The Orange County Fair is going to be open from July 19-Aug 18. It’s a fun experience if you want food, prizes, rides, and music.

A popular choice is everything Hollywood. There are many photo worthy places. As well as the famous hiking trails, shopping, and dining options. Which, I must say Downtown Los Angeles has a lot of nice places to dine as well. And Rodeo is famous for shopping as well as Melrose. And entertainment and food are what LA does best. And how can I forget? Koreatown. There’s a lot to offer here as well. Good food, a bunch of photo places, and hello?! Karaoke is up there on the list. Belt those ATEEZ songs (and other songs too!) If you want a good time with your crew, hit Koreatown and let the night take you away. Los Angeles is one of those places where day and night there is always something to do.

Now I’m not here to romanticize these places but highlight what they offer. I need you to make sure to stay safe. If you don’t learn anything else, let it be this. Safety is priority. Okay? Now let’s move on.

5. Lunch

It’s time to refuel Lunch hmm…

Maybe the second cafe you were thinking about. If you are looking for a light lunch/brunch/snack, I think cafes are the way to go. 

There are many restaurants as well. I’m not well versed, but I think that Los Angeles has a lot to offer. Make sure the places you see online are actually in LA. Sometimes people make say LA and it’s not. Also, location matters. If you’re willing to travel outside of LA a bit, there are also many cool restaurants to visit and activities (Like I mentioned earlier)

I think having lunch with your friends is something unbeatable. Whether it is a picnic or a beach, making/packing your own lunch is the way to go! Make sure you are researching park and beach rules. As well as the weather and conditions of the places you visit. If you don’t have friends or family to go with, I think going alone is fun too. Just be more vigilant. I really enjoy going to the beach on my own, there’s something about it that makes you feel at peace. 

6. ATINYYYYY ZONE

Who doesn’t like Gifts? Have something to remember with the ATINY ZONE.

You must have a ticket for the day of the concert. As well as a TOKTOQ membership. They recommend that you come early. Get there fast as it is limited. And will close 30 minutes before the end of the queue. Please be considerate as they are limited.

Bonus: Many ATINY like to gift other ATINY freebies as well. So, there will be places around the arena that they might be or hint at. It really depends. But be visualant and be safe, okay? It’s good to always look around. I know we like to think we can trust most people, but not everyone around the arena are good people. So, if you see something, say something. And protect yourself as well. 

Gifts are a nice way aside from the ticket, pictures, and confetti to remember the day. So, make sure to use your manners and thank them. And please don’t be that person/fan that complains or feels entitled to a gift. Things don’t belong to you, and they were thoughtful enough to even gift you something. Be nice. Also, unspoken rule: If they have a small business, tag them on your story. It’s a nice way to give back a bit.

7. Dinner

I have to say. Dinner is difficult. Do you want comfort food? Do you want to pay for experience? Or opposite, the convenience? These are things to consider.

If you want to go to the places Ateez approved (or other idols), there’s that too. But I need to say this, and I was hesitant to even put that first part.

DON’T BE WEIRD.

DON’T FOLLOW THESE BOYS AROUND 

DO HAVE FUN

Let ATEEZ have their time off. They are not here to entertain you every minute. Unless they offer to take pictures or sign, don’t bother them. Understand? I hate to say it like that, but they are human too and it’s messed up to stalk them. And I will talk about this on Uncomfy Cushion, but I promise you would not like it if it was the other way around. Let them be human, okay? Let they enjoy their lives. Now…on the topic of enjoyment.

8. CONCERT

You knew this one was coming huh? The concert dates are July 20-21! So worth it. Their stage presence is unbeatable. It will be at the BMO stadium. If you see our crew, say hello!

Again, I have to pitch this again because I am down bad. If you have A3 or A4 seats or any good seat in or by the pit for Day 1…send them my way lol!

Here’s a bonus one: Tune into the Dear Favorite Podcast! And The F10$$ vlog. Coming to you soon! 

For now, plan that trip. Study up on the music. Stay safe. And let us know some cool places in Los Angeles you want to recommend!
