About
Hello, and thanks for reading
Golden Hour Notebook is a small personal site about Los Angeles. I have lived here for a number of years, in a couple of different neighbourhoods, and I started writing these notes mostly so I would remember the places I found and the days that went well.
I am not a guidebook and I'm not trying to be one. You won't find rankings, sponsored lists or the "ten best" anything. Places change quickly here, so I avoid prices and opening times and focus instead on what a neighbourhood feels like, how to walk it, and what is worth slowing down for.
What you'll find here
Walks and staircases, the weather and its many moods, getting around without a car, food eaten with friends, and the small everyday details that make a giant city feel like home.
I keep this site simple on purpose: no ads, no tracking, no comment section. Just words and a few doodles, written slowly and published when they're ready.
