Los Angeles

Los Angeles is the land of sunshine and Hollywood and avocado toast brunches and some of the world's greatest places to have fun.

The entertainment capitol of the world.

Overview

LA is larger than life. A cinematic sprawling mash of chic and down and out, a rolling hilled gem, a jam packed pocket of 4 million dreamers who moved here for an LA that was promised to change their lives.

In this Cerca Guide, J.J Duncan takes us out for many dinners, we head out on an epic road trip, and she tells us some dark tales that make this sunny city a little knowable but also a little more mysterious. This is the Los Angeles you don’t see on the screen.
