Regular readers of The Source are familiar with Metro’s Destination Discounts program – our weekly picks spotlight the latest deals offered to Metro riders from our local community partners.

This week, in addition to our weekly picks, we’re going to highlight a community that has really embraced Destination Discounts: North Hollywood, simply known as NoHo.

This diverse neighborhood situated at the northern terminus of the Red Line and eastern terminus of the Orange Line is another example of how Metro has helped turn a suburb into a walkable urban center. NoHo is home to a burgeoning Art District, theaters, cafes and mixed-used development.

What follows is a list of NoHo establishments offering discounts to Metro riders. Make sure you stay tuned to The Source because we hear the list will be growing. In the meantime, Go Metro to NoHo and tell them you heard about it on The Source.
