What Do You See in Hollywood

ollywood, California, where stardom lays just a breath and a dream away. This mecca of wanderlust, fantasy, and decades of celluloid whimsy is as beautiful and magical in its reality as in the wishes of millions who step into the city each year. Beneath the plush houses on the hills surrounding that oh so famous sign, lay streets paved with stars not just from the footsteps of those following the paths of legends, but literally in the form of the celebrated Walk of Fame. Several movie studios, record labels, and publishing companies can be found there as well. Tourists can spend hours, days even, sightseeing along Hollywood Boulevard taking in everything from the mundane and nostalgic to the downright cutting edge and absurd.

When the sun sets, catch a summertime concert at the world famous Hollywood Bowl or hit the clubs of the more infamous Sunset Strip where rock legends past and present have turned a troubadour's life of debauchery and excess into an art form.

More than the sum total of its famous landmarks, Hollywood is also home to one of the country's most popular hot dog stands and eateries. Some of the hippest coffee shops and happening dinner theater scenes can be found along these streets. For something a little different take a trip down to the local historic cemetery. Pack some fine wine, a bountiful dinner that you might even purchase at one of the great restaurants in the area, a blanket, and a chair or two and prepare to sit back with friends under the cool night sky and enjoy an old black and white movie displayed against one of the cemeteries large back walls.

If visiting, check out one of the many hotels in the area, most of which offer an environment and accommodations that are anything but standard.
