This is so cool. Every Friday night, the Sunset Ranch Hollywood Stables company hosts the Friday Night Dinner Ride. They saddle you up on a big ol' horse, and then y'all take a scenic 1 1/2-hour ride through Griffith Park -- with the city lights shining far below -- to the Viva Fresh Mexican restaurant in Burbank. After dinner
and a few tasty margaritas, you mount up and ride back to the ranch, arriving at about 11pm. Is that cool or what? Anyone under 250 pounds can go, and no reservations are required -- it's strictly first come, first served. The ride costs $50, not including dinner and drinks (they just get you there -- they don't serve you). Sign up begins at 4:30pm and the ride leaves at 5:30pm. Consider yourself warned, however: Many a sore derriere has wished it hadn't been subjected to 180 minutes in the saddle. The ranch is located at the very end of Beachwood Drive off of Franklin Avenue, just under the HOLLYWOOD sign.
