Are you new to L.A. and wanting to get a handle on where to go and how to get there? Are you a tourist in L.A. and needing to know the best way to get around to the best places? Have you lived in L.A. for a while and seeking new or off the radar venues to delve into? This is your official "One Stop Shop" for attractions, activities, walking tours, restaurants, nightlife, shopping, and hotels. Listed sections like Historic Districts and Walking Tours save you time and allow you to concentrate on areas of most interest to you. With over 250 listings of what to see and where to go, from the historical (world's oldest movie palace district) to the hysterical (comedy clubs), from the hectic (Hollywood Blvd.) to the rustic (Santa Monica Mountain trails), from the iconic (Beverly Hills) to the eclectic (fairy tale styled houses), there is plenty for EVERYONE to enjoy here! Master architect/designer Frank Lloyd Wright said, "Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles." Starry-eyed dreamers, enterprising schemers, rebel misfits, and creative eccentrics will always find a welcome mat upon their arrival in L.A. If you're drawn to an artsy bohemian beach community vibe, then explore Venice, and enjoy the walking tour described in the guide. Relish the beach, but want a little more upscale city ambiance? Santa Monica is a better choice. Are you a film history fanatic and/or live theater buff, one who thrives in hectic, flamboyant surroundings? Plant yourself in Hollywood. Lean toward less hectic, more upscale with some film history of its own? Culver City has Sony Pictures, Culver Studios, and the Culver Hotel. Love the modern state of the art concert halls and arenas, with other close subway distance cultural attractions like Chinatown, Little Tokyo? Downtown L.A. is the way. Prefer a university atmosphere, close to some top museums? Westwood or Brentwood may be a better fit. Or, want to wrap yourself in posh Southern California celebrity chic?

An Omelette and a Glass of Wine, offers 62 articles originally written by Elizabeth David between 1955 and 1984 for numerous publications including The Spectator, Gourmet magazine, Vogue, and The Sunday Times. This revered classic volume contains delightful explorations of food and cooking, among which are the collection's namesake essay and other such gems as Syllabubs and Fruit Fools, Sweet Vegetables, Soft Wine, Pleasing Cheeses, and Whisky in the Kitchen. Her subjects range from the story of how her own cookery writing began to accounts of some restaurants in provincial France, of white truffles in Piedmont, wild risottos on the islands of the Venetian lagoon and odd happenings during rain-drenched seaside holidays in the British Isles. Here we can share her appreciation of books, people who influenced her, places she loved and the delicious meals she enjoyed. Some of the best essays are those about others who wrote about food such as Norman Douglas and Mrs Beeton. She writes so vividly that we can see, taste and even smell the dishes she describes. Many of these pieces, such as 'I'll Be with You in the Squeezing of a Lemon,' from 1969 - about cooking with lemons - barely show their age. But even if they did, you wouldn't care, because of the rich store of information that David shares and the literary grace with which she imparts it. Some articles include recipes, but for the most part this is a volume nicely sized to curl up with or to take on a trip. Articles, book reviews and travel pieces, they will be new to many of her readers and a delight to all for their highly personal flavor. Jane Grigson praised it for including all the dishes most closely associated with her, Spiced Beef, Salted Welsh Duck and Syllabub. Her many admirers will cherish this new hardback edition for its 320 high quality pages casually interspersed with charming black and white illustrations and some photographs. It is a book sure to appeal to the 'Elizabeth David' book collector.
