I always thought First Draft could be where I shared my city guides as a fun thank you to paid subscribers. I spend a lot of time making them and love sharing them with my friends & family. They’re personal, curated, and looking back they capture a moment in time. The LA edit is packed with recommendations and it features:

  • where (and what) to eat (including the best halal Philly cheesesteak)

  • where to write!

  • favorite bookstores, including one hidden one

  • parks/activities/ & classes that are good for kids

  • classes that are good for you

  • places to get film cameras, stationary, and an amazing sticker store that would have been a dream come true for me in the 90’s

  • & the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life (unfortunately it’s also the best coffee many have ever had, so you’ll either have to show up at 7 AM like I used to, or brave a very, very long line)

Here it is, hope there’s something in here for you to enjoy.
