About

hoopLA believes that even in Los Angeles, one of the world’s most influential cities, everyone on any budget can enjoy what this great city has to offer. People forget that LA is based on art and once you get passed the Hollywood stereotype, this city has more to offer than most. You can wake up, grab your coffee, hit Runyon, meet a friend for lunch on West 3rd., grab a few happy hour cocktails looking over the water in Santa Monica and be downtown that night in time for an opening at the MOCA.

hoopLA is an informational, lifestyle blog for Angelenos on a budget. hoopLA specializes in events, restaurant/gallery openings, hidden favorites, hot spots and deals all around Los Angeles (with an artsy twist). hoopLA digs a little deeper to provide great things to do each week to Angelenos. hoopLA aims to inspire and hopes you enjoy reading and learning as much as I love sharing my take on this crazy city.

I founded hoopla in 2010 to bring my passion for the arts, happy hour and shopping to life. When I’m not blogging and bringing you the greatest things to do in and around LA, I can be found hiking Runyon Canyon or hanging in West Hollywood with my friends or most important cat Margot and dog Franklin.
