    If you ever find yourself with an 11-hour layover in Los Angeles as I recently did, then I have the perfect guidebook to help you fill the time...

    The hardest part of reading L.A. Adventures was choosing just one itinerary because they all sounded interesting. The Angeleno authors are passionate about their city and want to share their intimate knowledge of it with visitors.

    I’d highly recommend it for anyone who wants to visit Los Angeles and experience it like a local.
