A Few Days in LA
Part one of a revisit to Los Angeles, staying in Hollywood this time, on the way home to New Zealand
ARRIVING in Los Angeles from Las Vegas, I decided that I was going to stay in Hollywood, the home of the American motion picture industry but also a suburb in its own right. I hadn’t been to that end of town before.
On Hollywood Boulevard, I found a nice hostel. I was in a women’s dorm. The Hostel provided free breakfast: bagels, cream cheese, and coffee. I could shop locally, for instance at a 7/11, and get three tacos for $8 and a beer for $4.
You could get all sorts of street food, and they have a lot of caravans. Places to eat were often out of the way, on the fourth or fifth floor of buildings, and in and around the Dolby Theatre and Grauman’s Chinese Theater.
Hollywood Boulevard is where they have the famous Walk of Fame, with nearly 2,800 stars along it.
