Wilshire, Main, Santa Monica, Ocean Park, Colorado, Broadway, Montana, Pico etc. You're never more than a few blocks from retail/restaurants and there's solid transit. Even the numerous office buildings have street facing retail everywhere in the neighborhoods.

I think it probably still fits the description of the thread. You guys are getting too hung up on a definition of a suburb.
Other LA metro places that are destinations:
Burbank
Pasadena
Malibu
Anaheim
Manhattan Beach (South Bay)
The OC beach cities; Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano.
Places like Palm Springs, Big Bear, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Ojai would fit more into the day trip category.
