Time Out #28 | Monday 22 March 2021

Is L.A. the most beautiful city in the world? Tell us why or why not.

For the past few years, we’ve been asking city-dwellers to tell us what they love most about their home as part of the Time Out Index. Los Angeles has picked up some laudable accolades as a result of these, and now we again want to find out how you’re feeling about L.A.—particularly after everything that’s gone on over the past year.
