LOS ANGELES
As an LA native, I’m always amazed by how quickly the city continues to change, and how many neighborhoods most locals NEVER frequent. My guess is that you’ve probably heard of Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica. But, what about Frogtown, Boyle Heights, or Monrovia? These pockets of LA have just as much (if not MORE) culture than do the Westside cities of LA and are just waiting to be discovered.
Use these neighborhood guides to explore the off-beat areas of LA to get a REAL Los Angeles experience…and on a budget!
