  Not for Tourists Guide to Los Angeles 2010, half anti-guidebook, half urban manual, is the ultimate little black book. It reveals everything from the best art galleries and cultural landmarks (both underrated and overrated) to the loveliest beaches and marinas, or simply where to catch a movie and find great cupcakes! Whether you've called Los Angeles your home for decades or just arrived last night, you ignore at your peril this new 2010 edition with its caustic neighbourhood summaries and refreshing, politically incorrect descriptions. Meticulously researched and written by folks who actually live there, NFT presents the city along with its good, its bad and its downright hideous. In over 400 pages of glorious content, this survival handbook features simply everywhere, from Central LA, West Side & the Beach to South Bay and The Valley, also covering the city's sports grounds and shopping malls. Designed for street-savvy locals, commuters, business travellers, and yes, tourists, NFT Los Angeles includes a highly graphical map for every neighbourhood featured. User-friendly map icons highlight everything from coffee shops, supermarkets, liquor stores, banks and libraries, to hardware stores, gas stations, gyms and pharmacies. So if you're meeting friends in an unfamiliar part of the city or find yourself off the beaten track, NFT is a must-have resource. But NFT doesn't waste your time by serving up five zillion options just because they're in a database: contributors have gone back to eat, drink, dance and shop their way through last year's listings to check that they're still worth knowing.
