Hidden Los Angeles: Including Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Pasadena, Venice, Santa Monica, Malibu, and Santa Catalina Island

Book Description
Ulysses Press's Hidden Guides are where vacations meet adventures. First, each book in the Hidden series reviews a destination's famed attractions. Then - and more importantly - it invites the reader to go further by exploring "hidden" spots that other guides overlook, including small inns and recommended restaurants. The guides feature places local residents enjoy, including beaches, parks, and non-touristy neighborhoods and contain the author's favorite picks, three-day getaway itineraries, driving and walking tours, website and email addresses, maps that "zoom in" on each area, and plenty of photos and illustrations. In Hidden Los Angeles there are a wide range of distinctive lodging choices, from affordable retro 1950s-style neon motels to historic Beverly Hills resorts that epitomize luxury and opulence. This top-notch Los Angeles dining guide offers over 200 opinionated reviews of everything from taco joints to restaurants serving cutting-edge California cuisine, and shows how to experience quintessential Los Angeles activities, from shopping at upscale boutiques to sitting on a sun-drenched beach watching surfers. Also featured is a special driving tour of movie stars' former mansions including Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio's Elizabethan cottage, Marlene Dietrich's 1930s-era art deco home, and Jimmy Stewart's brick Tudor house.
