Summary: Upscale Magazine review
Comment: Originally from chicago, I missed Chicago Magazine. Now I have the local Los Angeles Version of the Chicago Magazine.
I find it enjoyable and informative.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Magazine for Those Who Love LA
Comment: This magazine is helpful and informative to those who live in Los Angeles or even those traveling to it. There is much useful information and they even spend time interviewing people, etc. More than worth the cost for a year!
Customer Rating:
Summary: I enjoy it very much
Comment: I love having this come to my home. I used to read it only in doctor's offices and want to tear out pages of information. Hey, if you live in Los Angeles. It is great to have this subscription. The restaurant breakdowns and reviews alone are worth it. Plus you can always find out about new things to do and see. It's classy and adult.

Summary: Overall it's pretty good, but there's a lot of repetition :-l
Comment: Being that LA is my favourite city anywhere, I used to always buy this at my local Borders (until they decided to no longer keep this and keep instead a thousand magazines on stitchcraft or fishing etc). Now I always look forward to picking up a couple of copies when in America. However, I find that between trips, it's only the articles that change. They still review and list the same restuarants and don't change them up as much as they probably could/should.
I do love the articles about various people around town or the things going on in the city, but there is too much of the same material in various editions. I don't want to keep reading the same restaurant listings and the same advertising at the back of the magazine all the time. I agree with another reviewer that this isn't as good as the New Yorker.
Customer Rating:
Summary: So much potential
Comment: If only LA had a magazine as polished and informative as The New Yorker. It's not like there isn't an audience for it -- more New Yorker subscribers live in California than in New York. It's true!
I sympathize with the writers on Los Angeles Magazine because it's actually harder to compete as a serious, quality up-to-date magazine like the New Yorker when you're a monthly mag instead of a weekly.
There used to be a monthly called "Buzz" that was better, but it folded. LA Magazine sort of absorbed it, and you can see a relic of that in their "Buzzcuts"column. I wish they'd incorporated more of the old "Buzz."
That being said, LA Magazine gets it right about every other issue. And their annual "Best Of LA" always has good ideas. If they could just incorporate more elements of an LA Weekly into their pages...
