For more than a century, seekers of sun and celebrity from around the world have flocked to this sprawling metropolis on the Pacific, which Dorothy Parker once described as "72 suburbs in search of a city." But beyond the red-carpet reputation and Tinseltown trappings is a west coast wonderland teeming with unexpected cultural experiences, iconic architecture, gorgeous open spaces, quirky museums, hidden vistas, unconventional art, and obscure stories about the starlets, moguls, personalities, and players who have made Los Angeles their playground. This unusual guidebook explores 111 of the city's most interesting and unknown places and experiences: wander a serpentine path in a spiritual quest of your own making; channel your inner cowboy at a tried and true honky tonk bar; pay homage to the Dude at the bungalow where the big Lebowski lived; turn your car tires into musical instruments on the country's only "musical" road; sleep with the ghosts of Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin; view a constellation of stars more vivid than anything Hollywood Boulevard has to offer. From the San Gabriel Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, Angelenos and vistors will fall in love with the real Los Angeles. Adventures beckon. Surprises await. Just imagine how much more scintillating your dinner-party storytelling will be..."In Los Angeles, everyone is a star." - Denzel Washington

Laurel Moglen has produced news for NPR-affiliate stations KPCC and KCRW on the shows “AirTalk,” and “Which Way, LA?” The programs immersed her in all things Los Angeles — its politics, history, current events, and cultural vastness. She has made many podcasts for organizations and businesses including Bon Appétit Magazine, Travelocity, and the California State Parks Foundation. Catch her in a bunch of character roles in movies and television reruns.

Julia Posey is a born Angeleno. Like the Dude, she’s worked in the music industry, public radio and, in her dire youth, even in a recycling truck. She is a writer, artist, and designer. She lives on one of the last remaining groves of the Lindsay Olive Orchard Tract in Highland Park in a ramshackle house with her husband, sons, sweet dog, and delightfully nefarious cat.

Lyudmila Zotova’s photographs have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Yahoo News, and Eater National, and she is the photographer of the book 111 Shops in Los Angeles That You Must Not Miss (Emons, 2015). Zotova is an alumnus of The Art Institute of California-Orange County and resides in San Diego, California.
