Northeast Santa Monica

Northeast Santa Monica is a charming neighborhood of parks and beautiful homes, a world away from the touristy districts along the beach.

Tucked up in Griffith Park, at the end of Canyon Road just above Hollywood, is the semi-famous Bronson Cave. The former gravel quarry has been used as a set for numerous low-budget films and TV shows, most famously as the entrance to the Batcave in the Adam West Batman series.

Most of our readers are likely familiar with LA’s transit system, but for those who aren’t, your first time riding transit can be intimidating. How do I plan my trip? How do I pay? Where do I sit? Is it safe? In this guide, we explain how to safely and courteously ride LA’s transit system.

Today marked the first day of Metro Micro service in Pasadena and Northeast LA! If you haven't heard of it, it's an on-demand shared ride service that operates in several zones around the city--basically Metro's version of Uber or Lyft for places where the bus service is lacking. Today I used it to zoom across town up to Eaton Canyon, which normally would be a drag to reach by transit--the mountains are suddenly way more accessible!

A year ago, we wrote about the Southwest Museum in Mount Washington for our very first Transiting Los Angeles post. Today, after being closed for over a year, @theautry has finally reopened the museum to the public!

Today marks the 1-year anniversary of the launch of Transiting Los Angeles! It has been a wild year, but the pandemic and the stay-at-home orders really underscored how much it means to be able to get outside and explore and see other people. We hope that our guides inspired you to get out and (safely) see something new! As Los Angeles begins to reopen, we encourage you to go through the archives on our website and check out all the guides we created over the past year--you might find something for you!
