Unlock Hollywood's Best Local Experiences

I’ve completely lost faith in men. Today, I asked myself: What am I doing wrong? When men invite me on dates, we go to cafes, restaurants, stroll around the city, drink coffee, play tennis, go to the movies, visit museums. We talk, we laugh — the meetings are always fun. But there’s no intimacy. I don’t go to their place, and I don’t invite them to mine. We spend time in neutral spaces. I don’t burden them with expectations like “a man should…” So, what’s wrong? I don’t get it. What do you men want? Honestly, I feel like telling you all to just fuck off!

Influenced to try Community Goods while in LA and so glad I did. Hopefully we’ll see them back in Miami for another pop-up soon 👀 Hands down one of the best iced matcha lattes - added their vanilla syrup + oat milk. The sliders were so pillowy and much lighter than I expected (thankfully) and the sauces!!! Herb Aioli and a sweet and sour hot sauce. The pistachio toast though, was just the cherry on top! Think Nutella but pistachio no chocolate, fresh nuts and honey on a rustic bread. Chefs kiss ✨ I got there super early on a weekday just after opening to avoid any famed hour long lines and had a lovely #slowmorning on their patio 🍵

Hike your way up to the Hollywood Sign Whether you’re looking for a way to work out, explore nature, or simply enjoy stunning sunset views over the city, a quick hike to the Hollywood Sign is always a great idea. If you’re already familiar with the area or prefer to make plans on your own, just lace up your sneakers and head up there, which is free. If you enjoy socializing with others and you’re new in town, you might want to book a ticket to join a group hike.

Chinese in West Hollywood! Modernized Dim Sum fa sho 😋 🥟 Ok, I have one traditional place for dim sum and it is in the SGV, it’s meant to family time and Sunday Breakfast. Soooo, West Hollywood + Dim Sum for dinner never went together in my mind. Buutttttt, BAO DIM SUM HOUSE reinvented that. And I am here for it bc it’s actually good. Shiu Mai (we got chicken) was very hefty, Har Gow was shrimp filled with a light wrap, sauces on the table were on point and other items like Spare Ribs were prepared very traditionally. Now, if you live in LA proper, you don’t always have to go to the valley for your dim sum fix 😋 🥟

To truly experience Hollywood like a local, one must dive into the lesser-known spots and popular attractions alike. With Kikihub's local anonymous chats, you can discover the most authentic recommendations and hidden gems that Hollywood has to offer.
Trending Experiences in Hollywood
Hollywood’s iconic landmarks are a must-see, but beyond the Walk of Fame and the Hollywood Sign, there’s a wealth of trending experiences waiting to be explored. Start your journey by visiting the historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, famously known for hosting the first Academy Awards. Not only does it offer a blend of vintage glamour and modern luxury, but it's also rumored to be haunted! For art lovers, the immersive art installation at The Museum of Dream Space (MODS) provides a surreal and Instagram-worthy experience.
Local Insights: Food and Dining
The culinary scene in Hollywood is as diverse as its entertainment offerings. For a local experience, visit the farmer's market at the Original Farmers Market on Fairfax Avenue, where you’ll find fresh produce and international cuisine. Craving a taste of Old Hollywood? Musso & Frank Grill, established in 1919, is a favorite among locals and visitors alike for its classic American fare and historic ambiance. Looking for something more modern? EP & LP on La Cienega Boulevard offers a seamless blend of Australian cuisine with an Asian twist, complete with a rooftop bar that provides stunning views of the Hollywood Hills.
Exploring the Nightlife
Hollywood's nightlife is legendary, and there are a myriad of options for those looking to party like a local. Skip the tourist-heavy clubs and head to No Vacancy, a speakeasy-style lounge hidden within a refurbished Victorian house. For live music enthusiasts, The Hotel Café on Cahuenga Boulevard is a renowned spot to catch up-and-coming artists and intimate performances. Don’t forget to visit the bar at La Descarga, where you can enjoy vintage cocktails amidst a Cuban-style setting complete with live salsa dance performances.
Socializing and Local Hotspots
To experience Hollywood’s social scene as locals do, check out some lesser-known hot spots. Griffith Park is a popular local spot for hiking and picnicking; the park also houses the Griffith Observatory, where one can gaze at the stars and take in panoramic views of Los Angeles. If you’re looking to blend culture with socializing, The Broad Stage in nearby Santa Monica offers an array of performances, from jazz concerts to contemporary theater. The area around Sunset Junction is another vibrant spot, packed with trendy cafes, bars, and vintage shops. It's the perfect place for people-watching and socializing over coffee.
Hidden Spots and Secret Finds
One of the best ways to uncover Hollywood's secrets is to engage with locals via our Kikihub chats. However, some secrets are too good to keep! For an off-the-beaten-path adventure, explore the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, which hosts outdoor movie nights and concerts under the stars. Another hidden gem is the Los Angeles Public Library – Richard J. Riordan Central Library. While it may not seem like a typical tourist spot, its beautiful architecture and fascinating history make it worth a visit. For a unique shopping experience, head to the Melrose Trading Post, a flea market held every Sunday at Fairfax High School where you can find everything from vintage clothing to artisan crafts.
Experience Hollywood Like a Local
The true essence of Hollywood is its seamless blend of glitz and authenticity. While popular attractions make for great photos, it’s the local experiences that leave a lasting impression.
