Blog Hopping with Gridskipper

We always love when Gridskipper points its jetsetting eye on Los Angeles and today they do it by getting recommendations from some of their favorite local blogs. LAist was supposed to be a part of the fun but some of us (ed. note: mainly me) have been without internet access over the past week and couldn't get it together.
