Robertson Blvd, Mid-City West

This stretch of Robertson is a far cry from the industrial wasteland that it becomes as it makes its way down to Culver City. Up here, you have some of the best shopping in LA - Kitson, Rock & Republic, Madison - all the boutiques that carry the latest designers' wares are here. Go even more northward, and you start to hit some hot restaurants (Fat Fish sushi comes to mind) and some fun weekend clubs, some of the catering to the gay male crowd. It is best to park your car here on a sunny day and to walk up and down Robertson - you will miss all the tucked-away boutiques otherwise.
