  The Time Out Group's core businesses are located in London, New York and Paris, where Time Out's weekly publications and local guides are recognized as the leading source of information for both residents and visitors. In 1990, Penguin Books launched the Time Out city guides series, starting with London, Paris and New York. The series continues to expand each year, and the books have become firmly established as indispensable guides to some of the world's most visited cities. Written by resident journalists, and updated at least every two years, they are packed with insider information on what to do and where to go. The Time Out Guides series is complemented by a range of fiction, walks and reference titles, plus the latest addition, the eating & drinking guide series, all of which showcase Time Out's trademark strengths of attitude, accuracy and eclecticism.

  California may be in turmoil, but to visit Los Angeles, you wouldn't really know it. For the most part, life here is lived much as it has been since time immemorial: decadently, stylishly and glitzily, all under bliss-inducing, cloudless skies. Classic Los Angeles is there if you want it, of course, whether at the 40-year-old, star-studded Beverly Hills restaurant Dan Tana's or on the ever-fruity Venice Beach. But that's not to suggest LA is standing still; far from it. The new Walt Disney Concert Hall, designed by Frank Gehry, is testament to the ongoing regeneration of Downtown; the city's restaurants are better and more varied than ever before, with more opening all the time; and the regeneration of Hollywood, especially the Hollywood & Highland complex in which sits the Kodak Theatre, the new home of the Academy Awards, is paying dividends in terms of increased visitor numbers. Time Out Los Angeles takes you to all these venues and thousands more besides, over 320 full-colour pages.
