Book Description

Dummies Travel September 13, 2002
There’s a lot more to Los Angeles than stars, studios, and glamour hounds flashing credit cards on Rodeo Drive.

  • All the pointers you need to paint the town red at the hottest bars, clubs, and restaurants
  • A complete guide to making the shopping scene on Melrose Avenue, Sunset Plaza, and more

About the Author

Mary Herczog is a relative anomaly in Los Angeles, a secondgeneration native. Her mom sat next to Norma Jean Baker in home room, and since Norma Jean went on to become Marilyn Monroe, this clearly gives Mary ample authority to talk about Los Angeles and, of course, celebrity scandals. She also writes Frommer's New Orleans, Frommer's Las Vegas, and Las Vegas For Dummies, plus one half of California For Dummies, and when she's not doing that, she works in the film industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Old dogs can learn new tricks!, March 27, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Los Angeles and Disneyland for Dummies (Paperback)
My husband travels to Los Angeles often for business
so he knows a lot about the city but I went for the
first time on his last trip. Since he was going to be
in meetings a lot I was worried about being on my own
so I bought this LA for Dummies guide and I'm so glad
I did! It was fun to read and so informative - it
even showed my husband the "LA expert" a few tricks.
I totally recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, March 26, 2003
By 
This review is from: Los Angeles and Disneyland for Dummies (Paperback)
We visited Los Angeles for the first time recently and were worried about what we had heard - that the city is a big sprawling mess, difficult to get around, etc. All of which is true, but this book made it less intimidating and actually a lot of fun. We took the author's advice to heart and wound up not feeling like dummies at all! This is a great book for the first time visitor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good For Locals Too, January 27, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Los Angeles and Disneyland for Dummies (Paperback)
Some friends of mine from high school were coming to visit me here in LA and bought this book and had a great vacation, largely due to the terrific advice given in it. LA is a big sprawling mess of a city and the book helps narrow it down to a manageable size, especially for first time visitors. The surprising part was when I looked at the book while they were here - the stuff I learned on restaurants, attractions, and more that I never knew existed was amazing. It's opened my eyes to a whole new LA. Excellent all the way around.
