  • Ditch the L.A. Traffic in West Hollywood, the Tiny Town Best Explored on Foot
    Ditch the L.A. Traffic in West Hollywood, the Tiny Town Best Explored on Foot They say nobody walks in Los Angeles. But tiny West Hollywood is a city that commonly forges its own path – a walkable one lined with iconic rock ‘n roll and comedy clubs, trendy shops with a twist and tastes for any kind of appetite. Rated as California’s most walkable city by Walk Score (with a 91/100 score), West Hollywood’s 1.9 square miles offer the most entertaining way to hit your step goals for the day, with a bonus for style goals. Here are some of the best ways to pound the pavement and see West Hollywood’s top highlights: HOOF IT The average person takes roughly 2,000 steps per mile, meaning it’s about 2,700 steps from the Sunset Tower Hotel to The Abbey; 2,800 steps from the Mondrian L.A. to the Troubadour; 2,000 steps from the Andaz West Hollywood to Michelin-starred Sushi Ginza Onodera; and 1,300 steps from the Sunset Marquis Hotel to the Whisky a Go Go. No matter which stylish WeHo hotel is your home away from home, you can get anywhere on foot – achieve your daily activity goals while stopping for shopping, a cocktail or two (you’re not driving, after all), some world-class cuisine and a late-night dancing sesh. GET YOUR WORKOUT ON Bikes and Hikes LA takes advantage of the glorious weather for active sightseeing. Rated the No. 1 outdoor activity in Los Angeles by TripAdvisor, the West Hollywood-based company is the starting point for a variety of tours including their signature tour, “LA in a Day” which takes bikers across 32 miles of Los Angeles in six hours, from West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip to Santa Monica Pier, and the Venice Canals to homes of the rich and famous.

  • West Hollywood, California's Go-To-Guide to the City's Three
    West Hollywood, California’s go-to-guide to the City’s Three Districts The Sunset Strip After decades of notoriety, the Sunset Strip continues to blaze its own path as a world-famous cultural landmark, setting trends in music, hotels, dining and shopping. This most famous stretch of Sunset Boulevard begins and ends in West Hollywood, and like the city it calls home, it is constantly breaking new ground and reinventing itself. Though it’s often been portrayed in movies like Sunset Boulevard, Almost Famous and Rock of Ages, visitors say that nothing compares to seeing the Sunset Strip up close and in person. Bordered on the west by Beverly Hills and on the east by Hollywood, this iconic 1.5 mile stretch of Sunset Boulevard features an array of world-class hotels, nightclubs, restaurants, shops and spas. Through the years, the Sunset Strip has seen it all, starting with the seedy glitz of the 1920s, when Prohibition fueled the rise of nightclubs and speakeasies. Because West Hollywood was not yet an incorporated city, this strip of Sunset Boulevard was lightly policed, making the Strip the perfect playground for the rebellious denizens of early Hollywood. By the 1940s, swanky nightclubs like Ciro’s, Trocadero and Mocambo reigned supreme, attracting A-list celebrity clientele like Marilyn Monroe along with less savory characters like gangster Bugsy Siegel, who called the Strip his stomping grounds. In the 1960s, the Sunset Strip became the major gathering place for the counterculture movement in Los Angeles. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison were fixtures of the Strip and the surrounding West Hollywood landscape.

  • Live on the Sunset Strip
    robert landau Excerpt: Live on the Sunset Strip The street that made music history Robert Landau’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Billboards of the Sunset Strip was published in October 2012 by Angel City Press. Downloaded from http://online.ucpress.edu/boom/article-pdf/2/4/79/381413/boom_2012_2_4_79.pdf by guest on 28 September 2021 The Sunset Strip is that 1.7-mile stretch of Sunset Boulevard that is now part of the city of West Hollywood, connecting Hollywood on the east (where funky Laurel Canyon descends to Sunset and meets Crescent Heights) with Beverly Hills to the west (where Doheny Road climbs to the posh mansions of 90210-land). There are actually many Sunset Strips—versions that live in real time and space, and versions that live in our collective fantasy. The actual landscape of the Strip is typical of Los Angeles, featuring buildings of every imaginable architectural style, a look captured perfectly by artist Ed Ruscha in his 1966 book Every Building on the Sunset Strip. Outdoor advertising permeates the vista, ready to capture the attention of the steady stream of eyeballs that comes with continuously heavy traffic. Billboards of varying sizes are sandwiched between and above colorful hotels, restaurants, offices, gas stations, sleazy strip malls, and trendy retail shops. Now, thanks to digital technology, billboards engulf entire buildings and cover whole city buses, adding even more visual congestion to an already over- saturated urban scene. By day, the Sunset Strip was where the business of the music industry was conducted in the Sixties and Seventies. Both high-rise luxury offices and older, cottage-style buildings have long housed record companies, producers, talent scouts, business managers, personal managers, public relations executives, advertising agencies, design firms, and even a few film, photo, and recording studios.

  • Michael Mina and SBE to Open XIV on Sunset Boulevard
    Media Contact: Susan Hosmer/Kalea Dunkleman Bullfrog & Baum [email protected]/ [email protected] 323.651.1380 Michael Mina and SBE to Open XIV on Sunset Boulevard Celebrated Chef Partners with Hospitality Leader to Create Innovative Restaurant Concept and Dining Experience (Los Angeles, CA): This October, one of the country’s preeminent chefs, Michael Mina, will collaborate with SBE to debut the restaurant XIV, an innovative experience in dining that promises to add an exciting new dimension to the Los Angeles culinary landscape. Located on Sunset Boulevard and designed by Philippe Starck to evoke a European chateau, XIV will feature Mina's modern American cuisine with a fluid, convivial atmosphere and unique menu structure. “Michel Mina is an amazing chef as well as a longtime friend,” said SBE CEO Sam Nazarian. “The stars have truly aligned to integrate Michael’s culinary concept with the stunning design of Philippe Starck at this incredible location on Sunset Boulevard. XIV will offer Angelenos the chance to experience Mina’s masterful craft right here in LA." The collaboration marks Michael Mina’s return to Los Angeles after a 20-year absence: he began his career as a pastry chef at the Hotel Bel Air. Known for his modern approach to American cuisine, Mina has received numerous honors including the coveted Bon Appétit Chef of the Year 2005, San Francisco Magazine Chef of the Year 2005, as well as the James Beard Foundation Best California Chef in 2002 and Rising Star Chef in 1997. Beloved for his eponymous restaurant in San Francisco, which received two stars from the Michelin Guide in 2007, Mina has opened 14 concept restaurants throughout the country including Stonehill Tavern at Monarch Beach, which received a three-star review from the Los Angeles Times and was voted one of the Top 10 Best New Restaurants by Zagat in 2008.

  • Quiet Days in Malibu
    The Library of America • Story of the Week From Joan Didion: The 1960s & 70s (Library of America, 2019), pages 900–10. Originally included in The White Album (1979). Parts of the essay were published in different form in the April and June 1976 issues of Esquire. Copyright © 1979 by Joan Didion. Reprinted by arrangement with Farrar, Straus and Giroux. All rights reserved. Quiet Days in Malibu JOAN DIDION N A WAY IT SEEMS the most idiosyncratic of beach communi- I ties, twenty- seven miles of coastline with no hotel, no pass- able restaurant, nothing to attract the traveler’s dollar. It is not a resort. No one “vacations” or “holidays,” as those words are conventionally understood, at Malibu. Its principal residential street, the Pacific Coast Highway, is quite literally a highway, California 1, which runs from the Mexican border to the Or- egon line and brings Greyhound buses and refrigerated pro- duce trucks and sixteen- wheel gasoline tankers hurtling past the front windows of houses frequently bought and sold for over a million dollars. The water off Malibu is neither as clear nor as tropically colored as the water off La Jolla. The beaches at Malibu are neither as white nor as wide as the beach at Car- mel. The hills are scrubby and barren, infested with bikers and rattlesnakes, scarred with cuts and old burns and new R.V. parks. For these and other reasons Malibu tends to astonish and disappoint those who have never before seen it, and yet its very name remains, in the imagination of people all over the world, a kind of shorthand for the easy life.
