Trasteverse - West Hollywood

Make sure to grab some fresh fruit from the older ladies selling it; they're lovely. As for the souvenir shops, I strongly advise against shopping there—they're double the price compared to other places. On a side note, I posted some pictures of my favorite stars; it was quite a long walk, but I managed to get photos of about half of them!

I really enjoy this place, especially because of the parking. They offer validation at Hard Rock if you dine there for lunch. While Hollywood Boulevard can be quite rundown overall, this shopping center really makes up for it. Plus, it provides a fantastic view of the Hollywood sign, perfect for tourists.

It’s a nice place to visit, but I probably wouldn’t go frequently. Many areas had unpleasant odors, and a lot of sections were closed off. However, I appreciated that they had a good number of security guards on duty.

This is always a fun spot to visit. If you go early in the morning, you can easily snap as many tourist photos as you like without any hassle. I took my dog for a walk around the Chinese Theatre area and H&H, and it was a smooth experience. One of the best perks of having a dog is that no one tries to coax you into joining a van tour—which I really can't stand.

The restaurant was much less crowded compared to my last visit. However, there were still some street scammers around. My best advice is to keep moving if someone tries to stop you, as they can be quite aggressive.
