Welcome to Meet the (818)

It’s official! Meet the 818 is live and ready to bring you adventures and stories from and around the San Fernando Valley. Why the San Fernando Valley you ask? As a local, I’ve always liked exploring my neighborhood: from coffee shops to the local brewery to the newly opened axe throwing place in North Hollywood. The San Fernando Valley has a lot to offer. You just have to be willing to venture out and try something new. It’s a huge community and you’re bound to find something you like.

Meet the 818 shares favorite local spots, brings you new places to try and old places to rediscover—it might be a new breakfast place you’ve always passed on your drive to work. Or that new chicken place you’ve heard of but the mixed reviews make you a little hesitant. Or even that new gym across the street you’ve always wanted to try but found, well, intimidating. Don’t worry! We got you covered!

Meet the 818 will bring you the inside scoop about your local businesses and the stories behind your local spots. We’ll feature business owners, local writers, podcasters, and even dance groups. If it’s in the 818, we’ll make sure you hear about it.

So, tune in, friends, as Meet the 818 brings the San Fernando Valley community right at your fingertips! Live. Love. Local.
