What Would Joss Whedon Do In LA?
As a huge fan of Joss Whedon, I often wonder what would he do if he took the day off from directing blockbuster films and hit television shows. How would he spend a day in LA for himself? Here are a few things I think Joss Whedon would enjoy doing while out on the town in LA.
He Would Watch A Musical At The Pantages

Joss clearly loves musicals and I know he would love to check out Andrew Lloyd Webber's new production of "The Wizard Of Oz" at the Pantages Theater. It's a new enchanting adaptation of the all-time classic, totally revamped for the stage.
This new production contains all the beloved songs from the Oscar-winning movie score, plus a few surprises along the way, including new songs by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Joss loves unique musicals and this is surely a unique presentation of "The Wizard Of Oz." Tickets Range from $77.65 to $164.95.

He Would Have Lunch at Pinks Hot Dogs

Pink's is the ultimate mom-and-pop hot dog stand. It's world famous for their hot dogs and is a Hollywood staple. If you remember the famous line from the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" musical episode, "They Got The Mustard Out," it's sure that Joss would love a delicious hot dog.
Pink's is renowned for its delicious variety of hot dogs, but they also offer hamburgers, huge portions, and affordable prices. It's a fun atmosphere that Joss would surely love.

It's no secret Joss Whedon likes to dance and hit the club scene. He's even admitted to taking the entire cast of "The Avengers" clubbing. Joss would love The Abbey Food and Bar in West Hollywood.

The Abbey also has the best dance floor and music in West Hollywood. It's a bar and club that anyone can enjoy. You can lounge or dance the night away at The Abbey. It's certainly a place Joss Whedon would love.
