What is the best thing to do in hollywood?

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! !|||Visit hollywood walk of fame. Its actually very pretty.|||Hollywood %26amp; Highland center. Decent shopping and you MUST check out the restuarant called Uwink there, its insane!


Just a short walk from the H%26amp;H center is the walk of fame area, its very entertaining there, lots of street performers and impersonators.





|||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 %26amp; 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%26amp;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!|||uwink, h%26amp;h center, fancy restaunts, famous people spottign hahah|||i would stay away from hollywood ... too many seedy people there


|||Hollywood and Highland. Specially Friday and Saturday night. |||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!

---%26gt;Enjoy your trip!|||Listen to Obviousman.|||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: http://www.discoverlosangeles.com/visito鈥?/a>





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.|||See Wicked.
