Daytime: Lots of shops, both boutique and souvenir. Art galleries and frozen yoghurt. Many restaurants have outdoor dining. The walk of fame like Hollywood is kind of fun. Nighttime: Great restaurants, nightlife, theatre. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed. If you are there for a week, you could probably visit here three or four times without getting bored. Check out...

Palm Canyon seems to always be busy day or night. In addition to all of the restaurants, there are a variety of boutiques and some pretty nice souvenir shops (not just tacky T-shirts) along the drive.

Always enjoy the scene in PSP which is centered on Palm Canyon. The restaurants, shops and people watching are an event to itself. Thursday's street fair was a fun stroll.

I have been a resident for 3 years now. Whether you are vacationing, wanting to go shopping or wanting a scenic drive thru the lavishly historic city, Palm Canyon Drive will not let you down. In the daytime the palm trees lining the mountainview is breathtaking. Bring lots of film for your camera! At night, I love to roll down... More

Filled with good spots to eat, lots of choices for ice cream and touristy shops that haven't changed their decor--and in some cases their merchandise--since the 70's.

Historically the avenue to the old celebriteis old stomping grounds. Fun area to go to especially if you go on a Thursday when they have their open air arts, crafts and misc night market. Great food around there too.

What an awesome representation of an awesome icon! She's still lining them up! Make sure to get your pics. Someone said they're moving her this year.
