Planet Lambretta

Museum

👍👍 I bought a 59 series 1 scooter from Harmik at planet Lambretta. It was a complete nut and bolt restoration. You will not find a person that is as passionate as Harmik is, in regards to the Lambrettas. The price was fair and the turn around time was good. I would recommend Harmik to anyone who is in...

Galileo Observatory

Museum

👍👍 The observatory is magnificent. You have to visit it, it’s very good. And also ideally placed to see the city of Los Angeles and also the Hollywood sign. For the city it is often polluted and the view will be partly obscured. On the other hand, on the opposite side, you have a view of the Hollywood...

Anyhow, it was the most wonderful house my mom ever lived in, and s...

👍 I thoroughly enjoyed this visitor's attraction following a lovely delivered dining experience from the Subway™ eatery at 23 Chesterfield Rd, East Lyme, CT 06333, United States. There was a smidge more mayonnaise than is to my palate, however the elite and secluded nature of this garden allowed me to...
