About Los Angeles

City overview

Los Angeles spreads across the Los Angeles Basin between the Pacific, the Santa Monica Mountains, and the San Gabriel Mountains, so a single day can move from Hollywood studios to Downtown concert halls to Venice sand. The city works best as a neighborhood plan: Hollywood for film history, Downtown LA and the Arts District for museums and food halls, Santa Monica and Venice for the coast, and Pasadena for older civic architecture.

Food & drink

Los Angeles food is a city map: street tacos, Korean barbecue, Armenian lahmajune, sushi, French-dip sandwiches, smash burgers, pupusas, and farmers-market produce all matter. Grand Central Market, Thai Town, Koreatown, Boyle Heights, Sawtelle, and the Original Farmers Market give first-time visitors a practical route through that range.
