Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - stuff to bring back from LA?

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
my wife, who is from LA, is going (alone) there. I said"bring me back something cool" and she said "what?". any suggestions? maybe a bike shop t-shirt, or something?

If you want bike shop swag, tell her to go to Orange20 which is the best fixed gear shop in the city.

Tell her to get the Cinelli Supercorsa Pista hanging up on the left side of the shop.

Orange20 t-shirt
Bike Kitchen t-shirt
and then have her get some handmade ice cream (for herself, I recommend olive oil and sea salt if he has it made) at Scoops - they are all on Heliotrope ave, just across the street from one another: Bike Kitchen and Scoops on one side, Orange20 on the other!

The cyclists at orange 20/bike kitchen are the very nice I was there around new year and a meter maid was going to ticket me and someone covered me. Whoever that was, thank you again.

Don't forget to get some good beer and vegan food from Pure Luck. If you're not vego, go get some yummy Empanadas from Rincon Chileno, or the Guatemalan restaurant/Bakery on Santa Monica.
We're freaking cartel these days, we are.

I hear you, but I'm not going on this trip, and I don't know LA that well. Plus, she's pregnant, so I doubt that she's going to run all over town for a souvenir. And, she doesn't really ride bikes.

Tell her that her safe return and that of your unborn child is all you could possibly want.
That'll totally score you points.

Ask her to visit the Scientology HQ and bring back some crazy stories.

They won't travel well, but I'd suggest anything from In-&-Out Burger (we don't have them here), and there's this great hole in the wall on Manhattan Beach that has amazing fish tacos. Don't remember the name, but the inside is covered in a decade+ of graffitti and local band stickers.
