Thanks for the advice so far.. are cabs easy to get (esp at night)? We aren't doing rental car for the first 2 days because of ridiculous hotel valet and the fact that during the day we will be at the rooftop pool and at night we don't want to drive (for obvious reasons). We are staying in Santa Monice on our 3rd night, so we got a rental car for that (so we can be touristy and drive around and see whatever).

Also- anyone ever eat at Ketchup??
