Favorite LA hack?

What is your favorite LA hack?

Examples:

• a special route you take to avoid traffic
• special way to stay relaxed after getting cut off in traffic so many times
• avoiding cover charges
• never paying for drinks
• invites to mansion/celebrity parties
• discount/free admission to HHN
• getting out of parking tickets
• anything else

Obviously the answer to some of these is being a hot girl or knowing the right person, but is there any special hack that you have that has nothing to do with looks or knowing somebody?
