I hope that I have all the men's names correct that moved my husband and me.
Our move started out with our dog almost running away. Luckily Casey managed to grab hold of Jasmine (our dog) and saved our kids from crying.
The move went incredibly smooth. Beds were taken apart and put back together. Nothing was broken or scratched.
We are now living in our first home that is ours and we could not be happier.
Thank you 24 Moving,
Beth and Yoel
Pros: The best movers!

Let me preface this review by noting how many restaurants in the city of Los Angeles that I've tried; from five-star dining to the smallest hole in the wall, I've visited almost every small neighborhood in this city. Never have I had a meal that satiated every aspect of my hunger; until I ate at Violet. It's located in a quieter part of Santa Monica, allowing for a relaxed meal and enabling you to avoid an overly crowded restaurant or an excruciatingly long wait (such is usually the case in restaurants as amazing as this one). The service is incredible, and the staff is very friendly, helpful, and attractive (an added bonus). All of this is topped off with the most incredible, satisfying meal; Violet offers light dishes such as a frisee salad with a gorgonzola truffle dressing or a cold gazpacho soup, both simple and delicious. The chef pairs together flavors and textures that may evoke reluctance at first glance, however the intricate and often daring combinations prove to be carefully and successfully executed, such as the white chocolate mashed potatoes, or the vanilla risotto. The lamb chili and short ribs are among the heartier dishes on the menu. My personal favorite is the macaroni and cheese, Simons' (the chef and owner) signature creation; having tasted dozens of takes on the traditional dish, he prepares it with precision and incredible flavor, as well as beautiful yet simple presentation. The meal is finished off with an array of desserts, but don't fill up just yet: the check comes with a surprise plate of mini chocolate chip cookies and a small shot glass of milk. Simons certainly knows what he is doing; he seems to have a following of neighborhood locals who enjoy the family-friendly spot. However, it is equally appropriate for a date night. The atmosphere is fun, casual and a little punk rock, but the food rivals that of the most well-known restaurants in the city. It's a must try!
Pros: great prices, incredible food, no long waits, good service.

This is the most amazing little place ever!!! The food is delicious, apps, entrees, sides, even the flan is absolutely perfect! We love the mulato cubano and the jerkchicken enchiladas the best, with rice & beans, plantains and fried potatoes...always perfect! The guys that work there are really sweet, always feel very welcome at this cute little Carribean shack by the beach, and to get such amazing food for such a great price always makes me happy! Thanks Cha Cha, love you!!!
Pros: It is all perfect :)
Cons: not a one!

Magicopolis is such a neat place to take friends and family. The show is all ages and reminds me of a show you would see in Vegas. Also there is a bar magic show every Saturday night at 10 that I go to probably at least three times a month!

I just moved to the area and I was looking for a club to workout. Someone gave me a flyer for an open house and came by. Little did I know this awesome club exists so close to my work. They have great classes, awesome parking, new equipment and friendly staff. I can workout during my lunch break, take a quick shower and head back to work in no time. Love it....
Pros: Clean, great atmosphere, friendly staff
Cons: can't think of one

Silvio is a great host and sets the warm and inviting tone. The food is good, the coffee is hot, and it's fun to hang out there, especially at breakfast time. If you want to make a change from the menu it's no problem. Pleasant service. You run into canyon characters and overhear interesting conversation. And he's got free wireless so you can do some work, too, or check your email. Silvio is German-Portuguese and his wife is Brazilian which adds a bit of flavor. Altogether, highly recommended.
Pros: good food, caring service, informal neighborhood atmosphere

I have been to many Thai restaurants around the world and I accidentally found this one while driving on Wilshire Blvd. I decided to try it and have been going there with my girlfriend for 3 years now. I lived in Europe, Australia, New York, DC and here in LA and I love Thai food and been to Thai restaurants in many cities throughout the world. this one is truly the best one I have been to. And on top of all it is very inexpensive and very clean.
The menu is very extensive and the portions are very big. The only con may be that the service can be a little faster but that is rarely a problem. I highly recommend it.

I love the fact that everything is served in such big portions for such a reasonable price. It's a great restaurant to visit during passover, thier Matzoth-balls are amazing! This Deli truly lives up to its reputation, because their sandwiches are extremly overstuffed!! I will definetely go back because this is one of those rare restaurants where your dollar goes a long way.
Pros: You can stretch that dollar
Cons: They're never closed so you'll be there 24/7
