In Los Angeles, you know summer has arrived when people start packing their picnic baskets and heading over to the Greek Theatre. It's one of this city's most time-honored traditions: catching one of the big names the venue always draws -- from Tina Turner to the Cranberries, Oasis to Dave Koz -- while sipping Chardonnay and munching on your favorite victuals. Set high in the Hollywood Hills and nestled deep into the surrounding trees, the romantic Greek makes it entirely possible to forget you're in LA at all. The place holds just over 6,000 people and the mood is usually mellow -- there's no lawn area and no mosh pit. A recent addition to the list of perks offered by the Greek is LA's world-famous Pink's Hot Dogs, which now has its own stand at the venue. Great views, great music and world-class chili dogs. What more could you ask for? -- Garrett Kamps
