Schmap Los Angeles guide and map

This stretch of Wilshire Boulevard is also known as Museum Row, and with good reason. Most of the city's main museums are located here, as well as several small but influential, art galleries. After checking them out, take a quick drive up Fairfax to another Los Angeles historical monument, Canter's Fairfax. This Jewish-American diner has been a Hollywood tradition for more than 50 years. After your first bite of a Canter's Deli sandwich you will know why stars, locals and tourists have made this eatery a Los Angeles must-see location.

After indulging in all the best that Canter's has to offer, finish the day off with the astounding glamour of the mansions in Hancock Park, a neighborhood dotted with homes built in the golden years of Hollywood.

Canter's Fairfax

Granddaddy of delis

419 North Fairfax Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90036
United States
+1 323 651 2030

Since 1928, this L.A. standby has been offering 24-hour casual dining in the heart of the Fairfax district. You'll find the food here authentic and the people-watching amazing. Everyone from The Wallflowers to K.D. Lang and Madonna has stopped in to eat here. Favorites include the in-house pickled corned beef pastrami, the hot corned beef, the tender beef brisket and the many offerings from the in-house bakery. Next door is the Kibitz Room, where there's live music most nights. A full bar and decent wines work well with the food.

Hollywood

Los Angeles
United States
The big sign just about says it all. The center of things is, without a doubt, Hollywood Boulevard, location of world-famous tourist spots that include Mann's Chinese Theater, the Hollywood Walk of Fame and countless souvenir shops. The Miracle Mile/Hancock Park area is another of L.A.'s historical neighborhoods. Here you will find Wilshire Boulevard's Museum Row. The museums are contained within Hancock Park, a small but peaceful oasis in the center of hectic urban activity. Ritzy West Hollywood is home to one of the city's most famous (or infamous) attractions: the Sunset Strip. Here you'll find most of the city's hippest and hottest clubs, as well as some of the city's finest shopping and hotels. West Hollywood is also the center of the city's gay and lesbian community, and it puts on one of the bawdiest and most exhilarating annual Halloween Parades in the state.
