About
I'm Nick, but most people around here know me as NoHo Nick.
What is the San Fernando Valley Directory?
This is a curated directory of businesses, events, meetups, groups, and clubs for the San Fernando Valley.
I run a weekly newsletter called NoHo Nick that goes out to thousands of people every Thursday morning, sharing the best of the Valley.
This directory is an extension of that, a way to give local businesses and events ongoing visibility. I cover every neighborhood in the Valley.
How does it work?
If you're looking for a coffee shop in Burbank or a pet sitter in San Fernando, you can browse by neighborhood or category.
These are spots that multiple people in the community have recommended, places I actually go, or businesses my readers trust.
Business owners can submit their business for free. No tricks, no extortion.
Why did I make this?
Other websites make it hard to discover cool new spots. Plus, they often pressure businesses to pay up or risk getting buried.
I wanted something better: hyperlocal focus, community curation, and built-in traffic from people who actually live here.
