Description

Beyond its maze of freeways, Los Angeles is a great place to walk. Step out of your car and set out on foot to discover hidden streets, architectural masterpieces, Hollywood romance, lost canyons, and vibrant SoCal culture in places like trendy Silver Lake, colorful Echo Park, eclectic Venice Beach, and more. Completely updated and expanded, the second edition of this award-winning book features expanded trips with dozens of additional points of interest, useful new information like nearby Metro stations, stroller-friendly walks and four new trips to family-friendly South Pasadena, San Pedro's developing waterfront district, Glendale's picturesque Brand Park and quaint Kenneth Village, and the uber-hip Atwater Village. The 38 walks include trivia about architecture, local culture and Hollywood history, plus tips on where to dine, have a drink, shop, or get a massage. Detailed maps and a “Points of Interest” section that summarizes each walk's highlights.
