Hollywood: Sunday stroll through the Hollywood Farmers Market
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Vegetarian Food stand at the Farmers Market - Los Angeles
    The Vegetarian Food stand at
    the Farmers Market

    I'm a fan of local farmer's markets and craft fairs. This one is a great place when you need to get away from the LA big city rush. They section off a T of streets, allowing over 60 vendors to put up their tents. The stands range from local honey, fresh flowers, nurserys, bison, bread, cheese, and gorgeous vegtables of all shapes and sizes--including garbanzo beans still on the stalk. One side street is committed to food stands where you can eat Cuban, tamales---or vegetarian to die for (see the photo). Musicians of all abilities pepper the streets, and one small section houses nice handicrafts like homemade soaps and woven shawls. A treat for Sunday morning!!! Goes from 8 to 1 so get there early. Located at the intersection of Selma and Ivar. Public parking for $3.

    Hollywood: Movies at a Tinseltown Cemetary..Hollywood Forever
  • Tip Rating:
  • Hollywood Forever Cemetary - Los Angeles
    Hollywood Forever Cemetary
    by bee77
    Send Photo to a Friend
    The idea of watching movies at a cemetary was creepy but intriguing. Only in LA! Hollywood Forever Cemetary is the final resting spot for Hollywood legends like Cecil B. DeMille and Jayne Mansfield. Movie screenings are shown over the weekends and on death anniversaries of some of the famous inhabitants of the park. Bring a picnic basket, wine, food and relax under the hollywood stars amongst Los Angelenos...everyone is friendly and cordial...what unites the crowd is the love of movies. Black and white, classics, film noir...indies...make sure to call before you. Entrance is $10 per person and park opens at 7pm. Truly a unique experience.

    Hollywood: El Capitan Theater
  • Tip Rating:
  • The El Capitan Theater was opened in 1926, one of three theatres developed by Charles Toberman in conjunction with Sid Grauman (the other two being the Egyptian and the famous Chinese theatre) in what was at the time a thriving entertainment district. It was used as a live theatre in the 1920s and 1930s, changed over to a movie theater in the 1940s and renamed the Hollywood Paramount. Unfortunately I didn't get to see the interior of this theatre, it has been restored by the Disney company and was reopened in 1991 as a movie theater which also holds special events on occasion so you have to buy a ticket to see the interior. Located at 6838 Hollywood Blvd. For some more photos, see the travelogue

    Hollywood: Maybe you would like to see a Movie?
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is going to be an odd suggestion since I have never been inside the El Capitan Theatre. My daughter has been several times. I hear it is a wonderful theatre, beautifully decorated inside. The seats are especially comfortable. Disney owns this theatre so more than likely you will end up seeing a Disney movie if you go there. It's right across the street from the Kodak Theatre on Hollywood Blvd.

    Hollywood: Egyptian Theater
  • Tip Rating:
  • Although the attached website says that the Egyptian was renovated and reopened in 1998, I took the attached photo from behind a barricade so there is still obviously some work going on. The Egyptian was Sid Grauman's first movie palace in Hollywood and the venue for the very first movie premiere, Robin Hood starring Douglas Fairbanks. It was closed in 1992 and according to the website reopened in 1998. There's a much better picture of the facade on their website, the barricades made a good picture impossible for me. The website says they are still showing movies there and I imagine with an infusion of $15 million that the interior was renovated pretty nicely so if you have a little extra time maybe you can catch a movie in one of the classic old time movie theaters in Hollywood. Located at 6712 Hollywood Blvd.

    Hollywood: Musso & Frank Grill
  • Tip Rating:
  • Virtually all of the legendary restaurants of Old Hollywood have vanished but Musso & Frank Grill opened in 1919 and Hollywood's oldest restaurant is still going strong. It was frequented by many celebrities, gossip columnists Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons frequently interviewed people here, Charlie Chaplin was a regular and a number of writers including Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Aldous Huxley and William Faulkner (who lived in a nearby hotel) dined here. I didn't eat here, the review in Fodor's says "Expect high prices and some attitude", the LA Times review is a bit more kind. Located at 6667 Hollywood Blvd.

    Hollywood: Pig 'n Whistle
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Pig 'n Whistle was Hollywood's first family restaurant that welcomed children, opened in 1927, and was the place to stop for a bite to eat after seeing a show at the nearby Egyptian theater. On either side of the name on the front of the building, you can see a dancing flute playing pig. Located at 6714 Hollywood Boulevard

    Hollywood: Hills of Hollywood!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Days have faded where you would be inclined to buy a "Map of the Star's Homes," but it is still interesting to drive up into the hills of Hollywood, Beverley Hills and Brentwood to see life from the perspective of the rich and famous past.

    Hollywood: Life in L.A. is extremely fast...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Life in L.A. is extremely fast paced. I haven't found many places to relax. I am used to the European type of get-together, which is more social then here. Nevertheless, one of few oasises is 'The Pig' in Hollywood. Its a student coffee house with 2 pool tables and an interesting crowd. Very kicked back. Franklin Ave.
