Escape to Little Saigon…

Donna Wares’ new Great Escapes: Southern California hits shelves in May, offering up twenty-three short getaways and weekend trips throughout SoCal. I was delighted to hear about Little Saigon–home to the world’s largest Vietnamese community outside of Vietnam. If you’re willing to venture just 15-minutes past Disneyland, you can stop in to sip some pho or visit one of the 80-odd beef-noodle restaurants in the neighborhood. If you’re hankering for a distinctive getaway this weekend, drop in on Little Saigon with the help of this sample chapter from the book.
