San Fernando Valley: Los Angeles

What do Knocked Up, Valentine's Day, and Superbad all have in common? They were all filmed in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley or "The Valley", as it's known to locals. Home of major movie studios Warner Brothers, Disney, and CBS, the Valley hails as one of the hottest regions for filmmaking and movie production.

Home of the famous Valley Accent, visitors can find anything they need in the Valley from affordable accommodations to cheap family-style meals. Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, and the Kardashians all reside in the wealthy family-friendly suburb of Calabasas. Studio City, known as the "Beverly Hills" of the Valley, boasts a growing number of shops, restaurants, and nightlife along Ventura Boulevard.

Brunch early at Sweet Butter, take a leisurely hike along Fryman Canyon, and hit up the specialty boutiques around Laurel Canyon Boulevard to scoop up the latest trends in L.A. fashion. Get your sushi on at the original Katsuya for dinner and saunter over to Black Market Liquor or Laurel Tavern for a nightcap. © NileGuide
