Melrose Avenue

Melrose Avenue between La Brea and Fairfax is the place to be for those wanting to see the latest fashion. Unlike the rest of Melrose and Rodeo drive, this strip of Melrose is for the younger crowd. The designs at these stores are reasonably priced and straight from LA's downtown design studios.

There are also many trendy eateries, coffee shops, music stores, and tattoo parlors, and each shop demonstrates a decidedly unique flair.  The people who frequent Melrose Avenue are often just as funky and eclectic as the establishments, so people-watching here is superb.  It's a part of Los Angeles that is many times ignored by tourists.
