Keen to explore a different side of Los Angeles? Like a Local is the book for you.

This isn’t your ordinary travel guide. You won’t find Disneyland or the Hollywood Hills in these pages, because that’s not where Angelenos hang out. Instead, you’ll meet the locals at quirky museums, Mexican food trucks and hidden speakeasies– and that’s where this book takes you. Turn the pages to discover:

  • The small businesses and community strongholds that add character to this vibrant city, recommended by true locals.
  • 6 themed walking tours dedicated to specific experiences such as flea markets and movie theatres.
  • A beautiful gift book for anyone seeking to explore Los Angeles. 
  • Helpful ‘what3word’ addresses, so you can pinpoint all the listed sights.

Compiled by four proud locals, this stylish travel guide is packed with Los Angeles’ best experiences and hidden spots, handily categorized to suit your mood and needs.

Whether you’re a restless Angeleno on the hunt for a new hangout, or a visitor keen to discover a side you won’t find in traditional guidebooks, Los Angeles Like A Local will give you all the inspiration you need.
