What is the best thing to do in hollywood?|141933

Me and my mom are going to hollywood for the weekend and i am trying to find something that we could do. I don_t want to do anything really touristy or boring!

Go clubbing and eat at fancy restaurants! !

Hmm, Hollywood is perhaps one of the most touristy areas in Los Angeles. That doesn_t mean it_s not fun though. A lesser-known music venue is The Hotel Cafe; it_s very intimate, low-key, etc. Pantages Theatre is well-known but is great (it_s playing Wicked right now).

The LA tourism bureau_s website might help you out. Here_s their guide to Hollywood:

You actually might like West Hollywood better, which is 15-20 minutes west. It_s much very hip and has a lot of cool places to hang out and explore.

The best thing to do in Hollywood? Try (if you can) to avoid all the prostitutes, homeless, beggars, pick-pockets, run-away kids (most of whom came here to _become an actor_),_dopers_, and of course , all the TOURISTS.

PS. Don_t expect to see any celebrities there. They don_t come to Hollywood unless they are required to attend an event.

I don_t get it. Why go to Hollywood if you don_t want anything touristy? Heck, I_m LOCAL and that_s exactly why I go there. It might be touristy, but it_s ultimately entertaining and NEVER boring. Never. EVER.

In addition to the Hollywood _ Highland Complex (and yes, UWink is a HOOT), you also have the Chinese Theater, Walk of Fame, and the El Capitan right across the street. The Pantages (where Wicked is playing) is just a few blocks away. You could easily spend all day in the H_H complex. You could also jump on the Red Line Subway to Universal City Walk. More places to eat and shop. Touristy? Yeah. Boring? Not even. How about some skydiving lessons at I Fly Hollywood (iflyhollywood.com), or a little cosmic bowling next door? Did you like the movie Forrest Gump? Then stop in for some shrimp at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company.

Have fun!

Maybe try exploring Haunted Hollywood. All sorts of locales around the Hollywood area are said to be haunted. Maybe you_ll see Marilyn Monroe_s ghost!

Here_s a good website to learn about some of the area_s hot spots for ghost activity!
