Hollywood is a real town with supermarkets, small retail shops and such. Tourists expect to see movie stars on every corner, but the reality is that movie stars living in LA don't go to Hollywood unless there is something going on at a specific venue. West Hollywood has great bistros and restaurants, but Hollywood in general is a big disappointment... More

It's definitely helpful learning the history from someone that actually knows. My family took a food tour with Tourific Escapes, there's driving around, walking around and great food stops along the way. It's the entertainment capital of the world!

"Hollywood: is only nice around the one-block area of the Chinese Theater/Hollywood Mall area. The rest of the neighborhood and area is dirty, run-down, and frequented by bums and runaways that ask for money. Every time I walk around there (mainly to get to the Egyptian Theater), I feel like I have to keep an eye on my back. I... More

We caught the subway from Union Station to Beverly & Wiltshire and walked around seeing the walk of fame, all the characters dressed up, Grumans Chinese Theatre and other Hollywood icons. We then went to the viewing platform at the Beverly Wiltshire Centre to see and photograph the Hollywood sign. We didn't do anything special while we were there but... More

I really wish I had enjoyed it but it was just not my type of thing. The typical tourist thing and a lot of ticket touts. It may sound bad but I really don't want to go round and sit at the end of the street and look at people's houses! The walk of fame is also a bit of... More

I 've lived most of my adult life in Hollywood. Most Southern Californians greet that news with incredulity. Hollywood means drugs, runaway children and hookers. The neighborhood had that. Today, the property is in flux, if not upscale. The recession cooled the building boom. The neighborhood between Hillhurst Avenue and Laurel Canyon lacks hotels. SEATAC has more hotel choice than...
