Best Deli: Langer's Deli (7th & Alverado)
To be more specific, also the best pastrami, and probably the best corned beef. Try the classic reuben or the pastrami and coleslaw on rye.

Yes the Getty is a must. I'm also going to recommend the Norton Simon museum in Pasadena. It's much much smaller but they have a very interesting collection and it is free for students.
There's also the Huntington, which IMO sucks for art because 1700-1800's English portraiture is about as boring as you can get, but the gardens kick ass.

Compton is a nice place for the sights.

WTF??? You think Whittier is ghetto? I mean it has it's less than classy parts, but it is nowhere near ghetto. I think most of LA is pretty tame for that matter (compared to some other cities).

some parts of whittier. it does have its good parts, but when i worked for a appraisal company and had to go into whittier, there were neighborhoods where i had to 'click, click' my door locks. it isnt that bad though. in fact, id compare it to certain parts of downtown/chula vista in san diego.
El tepayec for awesome burritos. I think Manuels is still there.
Arclite is a decent theatre, their projection standards aren't up to snuff though. The academy theatre on wilshire is only a single screen but its very good and they have great projection. The bridge is also very nice but 14$ a ticket no thanks (even with the reclining leather seats it's still not worth it.)
Best cheeseburger (debatable): The Counter in Santa Monica Edit: Mrdingledangle has a good point in Father's Office. Damn what a decision.
Best french dipped sandwiches: Phillipes
Best venue: Henry Fonda Theatre
Best record store: Amoeba
Best Pizza: A small pizza joint in venice on abbot-kinney blvd (I think it's Joe's?)
Best places to spend a day: Venice (beach), Shoreline village in long beach, Santa monica (3rd street)
Best hiking: Several trails on the palos verdes peninsula
Downtown is actually picking up with the disney hall and stuff but it's still pretty bland.
