About This Ugly Beautiful City

This newsletter is a companion to the blog This Ugly Beautiful City. This Ugly Beautiful City is a local’s guide to Los Angeles that deep dives into the city’s neighborhoods one by one, giving readers a comprehensive list of recommendations for things to do, see, and eat.

However, that limitation makes it harder to talk about all of the Los Angeles neighborhoods at once–there are 400 of them. On Substack, you will have the opportunity to see what I am exploring and, get sneak peeks at upcoming posts, join a community of Los Angeles explorers.

The free newsletter will arrive in your inbox, RSS feed, or however you access Substack content monthly.
