Westwood Village
A charming college town, located at the entrance
to the giant UCLA campus, Westwood was always a
popular shopping and entertainment destination.
Long before the dawn of the movie megaplex, Westwood
offered the largest concentration of movie theatres
in any one place (and it's still the first choice
for gala movie premieres today.) It offers restaurants,
boutiques, quaint Old World architecture, an upscale
crowd, a party atmosphere after dark, and more movie
theatres than you could shake a stick at. All of
this nestled in the safety of the posh West Side.

Rodeo Drive
The stretch of shops and boutiques on Rodeo Drive
is only three blocks long. It begins at Wilshire
Boulevard on the south, and runs north to Santa
Monica Boulevard, where the commercial section of
the street gives way to an affluent residential
neighborhood. But those three short blocks constitute
the most famous shopping district in America, and
probably the most expensive three blocks of shops
in the world. The most celebrated clothing designers
in the world have boutiques here: Armani, Gucci,
Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Valentino...
The jewelry stores boast names like Cartier and
Tiffany. Other nearby stores include I. Magnin,
Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Yves Saint Laurent,
& Pierre Deux. |
