AS YOU LIKE IT by William Shakespeare at Independent Shakespeare Fest! Fall in love this summer with our As You Like It, a screwball romantic comedy with songs inspired by 1930’s crooner, Al Bowlly. Irrepressible cousins, Rosalind and Celia, fall afoul of the Duke, and make their escape into the Forest of Arden. There, they discover a world of vivid characters and romantic possibilities. When class and gender boundaries shatter, they discover both themselves and a beguiling truth: transformation is always possible. In the hour before the performance, you’re invited to explore the world of the play during an immersive prologue. There, you will have the opportunity to interact with characters as well as learn a few secrets. Once the play begins, you’ll get cozy in your spot and enjoy one of Shakespeare’s most heartfelt and witty comedies. Be advised: although audience members of all ages are welcome and encouraged to come, Shakespeare’s plays all deal with the adult themes that invariably arise in human relationships, and include allusions to both sexuality and violence. This production contains no nudity nor graphic violence. It does however include shameless flirting, double entendres, and may make you want to get up and dance. July 10 - September 1 Wednesday - Sunday @ 7:00 pm

Día de los Muertos at Hollywood Forever The largest Day of the Dead celebration in California, and we wouldn’t doubt it: art exhibitions, dance rituals, musical performances, arts and crafts projects and food vendors (and crowds) aplenty. This year’s theme, “Tonas and Nahuales,” celebrates the spiritual guides and guardians central to indigenous Mesoamerican cultures, and it’s sure to be a spectacular display, as always. And after a couple of years of being split into two sessions, the 2024 edition will return to an all-day event, albeit one with staggered admission times (10am–2pm, 2–6pm and 6–11pm). Regardless of when you enter the Día de los Muertos event, you can stick around until the midnight close. The glowing, flickering altars look absolutely incredible after dark—though that’s also when the crowds tend to be the thickest. Oct 26, 2024

Celebrating 60 Years of the Century City Shopping Center From the debut of the Music Center downtown to the construction of the new LACMA on the Miracle Mile, Los Angeles was on a building boom in 1964. An entire new district came online in Century City, transforming 176 acres on the westside into offices, shops, and a grand hotel. The city was in the midst of creating epic monuments in what some observers have called the era of ‘Imperial Los Angeles.’ At the same time that L.A. art and culture were elevated to new heights, Century City debuted its landmark shopping center, now operated by Westfield, which is set to celebrate its 60th anniversary October 12-13.

Hollywood, the epitome of glitz and glamour, located near the bustling city of Los Angeles, holds within it secrets and hidden gems waiting to be explored. At Kikihub, we offer you a unique platform for anonymous chats where you can gain genuine local insights, real opinions, and little-known secrets from residents and long-time dwellers. Let's dive into the authentic Hollywood experience like never before!
Hollywood's Hidden Gems for Food Enthusiasts
When it comes to culinary adventures, Hollywood is not just about the high-end restaurants that cater to the stars. Dive deeper into the backstreets, and you'll discover eateries that are local favorites. Take a stroll to "Musso & Frank Grill," the oldest restaurant in Hollywood, where the martini is said to be legendary. Yet, for something even more undisclosed, head to "No Vacancy," a hidden speakeasy with a whimsical throwback to old Hollywood. Located in a Victorian house, it offers a unique setting and tantalizing cocktails that transport you to the 1920s.
For a fresh farm-to-table experience, don’t overlook "The Butcher’s Daughter," a trendy, plant-based café tucked away on Sunset Boulevard. This hotspot offers eclectic dishes that appeal to vegans and non-vegans alike, making it a hidden gem preferred by local health nuts.
Explore Local Art and Culture Scenes
While the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Dolby Theatre attract millions, there's a thriving underground art scene that's just as mesmerizing. Take a tip from local artists who frequent "Street Art House," an unconventional gallery showcasing contemporary street art and interactive installations. These exhibits are often kept secret until just before their opening, creating an air of exclusivity and excitement.
For those who are into indie and experimental theater, the "Vagabond Theatre" on Melrose Avenue offers plays and performances that you won't find anywhere else. This hidden gem is a platform for emerging playwrights and directors. It's where Hollywood’s future talents get their start, often offering shows that critically engage with the community in ways mainstream platforms can’t.
An Adventure into Nature and History
Besides the Hollywood Hills and Griffith Park, adventure seekers must explore some lesser-known natural hideouts. "Runyon Canyon" is a favorite local spot offering not just hiking trails but scenic yoga sessions. Early mornings or late afternoons are the perfect times for hiking as you’re more likely to encounter residents, each with their own piece of insider knowledge to share.
For a different kind of adventure, visit the "Hollywood Forever Cemetery." Often overlooked by tourists, this historical site doesn't just house the graves of celebrities but also offers outdoor movie screenings, ghost tours, and cultural events—all secrets locals are happy to share in anonymous chats on Kikihub.
Anonymous Insights on Hollywood Nightlife
Hollywood's nightlife is as dazzling as its daytime attractions, but the key to discovering the best spots is hearing from those who frequent them. Hit up "The Bungalow" for a laid-back vibe with cozy lounges reminiscent of a beach house in Santa Monica. Locals hype it for its relaxed atmosphere and classic cocktails.
Another local favorite is "Madame Siam," a somewhat hidden circus-themed bar. Its unique aesthetic, complete with burlesque shows and live music, offers an exclusive experience that often flies under the tourist radar. Get the inside scoop by chatting with locals on Kikihub before your night out.
Trending Local Favorites
Hollywood is constantly evolving, and keeping up with what's trending can be a challenge unless you have local insights. Residents often rave about "The Line Hotel," a trendy spot with stylish, modern décor and a rooftop pool that offers stunning views of the cityscape. This hotel is not just for travelers but serves as a hotspot for locals looking to unwind and socialize.
Thanks to Kikihub’s anonymous chat options, you can get realtime updates on what's hot and what's not. For instance, boba tea enthusiasts recommend "Boba Guys" on Sunset Blvd, where innovative flavors and environmentally friendly practices make it a favorite among the eco-conscious hip crowd.
Hollywood near LA is a treasure trove of experiences, from hidden eateries to clandestine bars and nature trails often known only to locals. With Kikihub's anonymous chat platform, you can explore these hotspots, uncover hidden gems, and embark on authentic adventures based on real opinions and local insights. Dive into Hollywood the way the locals do, and discover a side of this iconic neighborhood that’s often left out of guidebooks.
