For a small venue with great acoustics and top-notch local bands and headliners, stop by Whisky A Go-Go. Since opening in 1964, they have acted as an anchor on the Sunset Strip nightlife scene, hosting some of rock ‘n roll's most legendary bands and up-and-coming new artists.
A "must-see" site is the official Hollywood Walk of Fame outside of Grauman's Chinese Theatre. The street is paved with the handprints - and occasionally the prints of other body parts - celebrity stars and signatures of Hollywood icons. As you walk down the world's most famous sidewalk, you will meet the characters of Hollywood Boulevard-the street performers and vendors who have taken to the Walk of Fame over the decades.
Los Angeles has an overabundance of talented artists who participate in the multiple art walks scattered throughout the city. The Downtown LA Art Walk is the largest (120 square blocks!) and most popular, showcasing the best galleries, artists, vendors, restaurants and shops in downtown. Stop by every second Thursday of the month from noon until 9PM for an unforgettable experience.
For a NOTEworthy performance, stop by the Theatre of NOTE. This theatrical ensemble produces an average of four main stage shows annually, as well as an annual Hollywood Performance Marathon, a late night original 5-Minute One-Act Play Series, several development workshops and The Young Writers Project, an educational outreach program.
