Century City

Before towering buildings and a giant mall, there were films. 20th Century Fox Studios used to own the property here, and Fox developed the real estate in the mid-1950s and erected its first office tower in 1963. Century City never looked back, and its skyscrapers now form a distinct skyline on the Westside.

One place comes to mind when you think of shopping in Century City. Westfield Century City is LA’s epicenter of shopping and entertainment.

Wilshire

Traffic and urban commotion converge at central Los Angeles’ main thoroughfare. But Wilshire Boulevard’s central location is also home to many cultural establishments and famous shopping destinations, making it an exciting neighborhood community.

History of Wilshire Boulevard

Mid-Wilshire earned its nickname, “Miracle Mile,” from its history as the first main thoroughfare in Los Angeles to accommodate car traffic, eclectic housing, and Art Deco buildings. From the May Co. Building on the west to the E. Clem Wilson Building on the east, Miracle Mile boasts some of the greatest collections of intact Art Deco architecture in the world.

Following World War II, the area welcomed mid-rise office complexes like the Prudential Building, a massive apartment complex at Park La Brea, and the now-iconic LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) on the district’s western end. With these landmarks still standing and art enthusiasts visiting the area, Wilshire Boulevard’s cultural significance to Los Angeles continues to flourish.

Dining in Wilshire

Shopping and exploring the city’s top-notch art exhibits work up an appetite. Fortunately, Wilshire and its surrounding areas deliver great food options to satisfy everyone’s cravings.

Owned by actor-turned-restaurateur Danny Trejo, Trejo’s Tacos is a casual, Mexican-inspired taqueria. Made from locally sourced ingredients, its menu of 10 different taco options includes steak asada tacos and blackened salmon tacos—all of which can be served with Trejo’s signature hot sauce.

Tucked inside Wilshire Hotel’s rooftop terrace is The Roof on Willshire, offering visitors a respite from the city’s hustle and bustle. Diners can enjoy The Next Iron Chef contestant Eric Greenspan’s inventive menu featuring dishes such as pancake lasagna (layers of pancakes, scrambled eggs, crumbled sausage and bacon, and maple bechamel) and goat cheese polenta and pear pie – all served alongside 360-degree views of the city.

A great date or brunch spot, République, is a French café by day and restaurant by night.

Hollywood

Located in the central region of Los Angeles, Hollywood is famous for its prominent film industry and celebrities. Known as the capital of global entertainment, Columbia Pictures, Disney, Paramount Pictures, Warner Brothers, and Universal Pictures were founded here. Hollywood comprises 4 different boroughs: North Hollywood, South Hollywood, East Hollywood, and West Hollywood.

Hollywood provides residents and visitors with an urban feel and many bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and parks to enjoy. Hollywood, with a population of around 74,000, is well known for its diversity among residents.

History of Hollywood

Originally a thriving agricultural community, Hollywood was established in 1853. Known as the “Father of Hollywood,” H.J. Whitley purchased the 480-acre piece of land that would later be named by Daeida Wilcox, who donated land to aid the development of Hollywood. Wilcox chose the name Hollywood “simply because it sounds nice and because I’m superstitious and holly brings good luck.” By 1900, Hollywood had established a post office, newspaper, hotel, and two markets. It was recognized as a municipality in 1903. In 1910, the city voted to merge Hollywood with Los Angeles to secure an adequate water supply and gain access to the LA sewer system.

By 1912, major motion picture studios began setting up production in Hollywood, attracted to the warmer weather and wanting to escape the climate extremes and politics on the East Coast. In 1923, a sign reading “Hollywoodland” was built in the Hollywood Hills to advertise the nearby housing district. It wasn’t until 1949 that the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce agreed to a contract with the City of LA to repair and rebuild the sign. The rebuilt sign spelled “Hollywood,” referring to the entire district rather than just the housing community. Soon after, the Hollywood Freeway was constructed, and many of the iconic Hollywood landmarks were established. For example, Capitol Records was built in 1956, the Hollywood Walk of Fame was created in 1958, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was launched in 1985, and the Dolby Theatre opened in 2001.

Despite experiencing a serious decline during the 1980s, Hollywood was gentrified due to revitalization by private enterprises and public planners. Over 1,200 new hotel rooms were added to the neighborhood between 2001 and 2016, and 4,000 new apartments and over 30 low- to mid-rise development projects were approved in 2019 alone. Today, Hollywood is among the densest neighborhoods in LA County. The median age for a Hollywood resident is 31, and the area is known for its highly diverse population.

West Los Angeles

Considered one of the best places to live in Los Angeles, West Los Angeles offers locals and visitors a dense urban setting where museums, schools, parks, cafés, bars, and restaurants are within easy reach.

History of West Los Angeles

After the Spanish colonization, most of what is now West Los Angeles was incorporated into the Rancho San Vicente y Santa Monica. The original Californio landowners sold out after the Mexican-American war, turning most of the area into bean and wheat fields. Japanese settlers also established orchards and nurseries, some of which are still in business today.

West Los Angeles was originally its own municipality known as Sawtelle. In the 1920s, Sawtelle was annexed by the City of Los Angeles. 

Dining in West Los Angeles

While its dining scene is not as vibrant or popular as its surrounding neighborhoods, West Los Angeles offers more than enough options for a delicious and, sometimes, extraordinary meal.

Established in 1986, Javan Restaurant serves authentic Persian cuisine highlighting rich culinary traditions and unique flavors. Meat, fish, and poultry are delicately seasoned with signature Persian spices such as sun-dried limes, saffron, and Advieh. Portions are large too. A combo consisting of chicken koobideh, beef koobideh, beef tenderloin kabob, a salad, and basmati rice easily feeds five hungry diners. 

Chef Jan Yao blends his Taiwanese and San Gabriel Valley roots to create his Michelin-starred tasting menu at Kato. Diners are treated to elevated pan-Asian comfort food, and some of his artfully prepared classics include black tapioca buns filled with sweet pork, tuna tartare on a white soy cracker, crab porridge, Taiwanese fried chicken, smoked Hamachi, and buttermilk pudding.

A taqueria that proves that tacos are not just fast food, Sonoritas Prime Tacos serves tasty Mexican eats made from seasonal, local, and organic ingredients. Everything from corn tortillas to their salsa is homemade. Their tender and juicy steaks are cooked to the diner’s preference. Their prime tacos include rib eye, filet mignon, shrimp, and lengua.

Beverlywood

Beverlywood is a neighborhood on the west side of Los Angeles, CA. It is bordered by Pico-Robertson on the north, Mid-City on the east, Palms on the south, and Cheviot Hills on the west. Though it shares part of its name and history with Beverly Hills, Beverlywood is known as being slightly more attainable for the average budget.

History of Beverlywood

Beverlywood was developed in 1940 by real-estate developer Walter H. Leimert. Despite having no trees, an intersection in the middle of the countryside, empty sidewalks, and a lone streetlight, Leimert saw the potential for the area and felt Beverlywood could be the next popular city.

Like many other developments, Leimert’s growth lagged during WWII. But once veterans returned home with a GI Bill mortgage, residents quickly planted roots in Beverlywood. It was the perfect area for a middle-class family.

In recent years, the neighborhood has become a hotspot for mansionization. Despite complying with HOA regulations, many residents believe that the newer and larger homes ruin the feel of the community.

Beverlywood is a family-friendly neighborhood, predominantly residential areas, with limited restaurants and businesses. Beverlywood offers its residents an urban-suburban vibe and a strong sense of community. With above-average public schools, Beverlywood was ranked the #1 place to raise a family in LA by niche.com.

History of Beverly Grove

Constructed during the 1920s, Beverly Grove was once a sleepy series of car-oriented subdivisions. The neighborhood was formed from the oil-rich plains of the old Rancho La Brea tar pits and was a popular destination for Jewish Angelenos. Beverly Park, a popular amusement park where Walt Disney was said to have drawn inspiration for Disneyland, was once at the center of Beverly Grove.

Today, the neighborhood consists of massive, modern homes, paparazzi-filled streets, and high-end retail stores. The LA Times describes Beverly Grove as “popular, dynamic, fast-changing, and a locus of concern about the threat of the mansionization of LA’s historic suburbs” (LA Times 2017).
