Best thing is to network and find a game that someone you know well is involved in. Without that, I travel a lot for business and have found several games in the US using the "bar poker" method.
Search internet for bar poker events and go attend. Since this is your home city you should be able to find a few. Might take a couple times, but watch for players who seem to know (or at least think) they know what they're doing. Strike up poker conversations with them offline, and if you hit it off with them they'll usually invite you to a game. It's simple networking from there.
Just fair warning though, it's not without risk. Be on your guard and don't express too much enthusiasm for getting into a game (like asking the whole bar/table about where you can play). Also beware if you observe the following:
1. Someone is practically selling a game to you (as opposed to casually mentioning it and then talking about something else)
2. Someone talks up a game but then starts telling you about all these wierd things you need to do to get in (like give them the buy-in in advance or some other nonsense)
3. You get past all that and the place to play turns out to be some dark rathole with no discernable human activity around it. Kinda hard to make this call all the time since a lot of UG games are in questionable places but cars in the parking lot is something I like to see, at a minimum.
4. The guy who invites you is wearing a**less chaps and has a ball-gag hanging out of his pocket.
