I couldnt agree more, Im from LA and whenever I get friends and family they all want to see Hollywood Blvd and I always see the look of disappointment when I take them.
100% agree with Hollywood not being as nice as you think it will be. I have been twice (from Australia) and absolutely loved it both times and will go back again! I think the key is to go there with realistic expectations! :)
I have a friend who used to work at a store down by Hollywood and Wilcox and sometimes I would just hang out there for hours just walking up and down Hollywood boulevard, from the Pantages theater all the way down to the Chinese theater and back, just going back and forth, back and forth for hours - I've seen all kinds of weird and wacky things and people on Hollywood boulevard at all times of the day and that's actually one of the things I really enjoyed and miss about my trips to LA
I grew up in Hollywood and spent my summers going to watch movies at the Hollywood Blvd theaters. It sure was different in my day. But this video took me back regardless. Great vid Chris!
Thanks Chris & Topher for all of your fantastic travel videos, we've watched your videos before all of our overseas holidays so far and your channel is always the first thing we look up when planning our next trips! Such fun to watch and so much great information - especially about food! From Hannah & Steve in South Australia
i love the historical buildings in hollywood. right around the corner where i lived on yucca, carol burnet lived there when she was a girl.i see that this video was done in 2018 and the blvd has definately improved.
Yet another fine production. Maybe the best pizza slices I've ever had were at Two Guys from Italy, on Hollywood Blvd. I see they are still around and still have high ratings. Near them is Kino Sushi. However, I don't know if that's the same sushi restaurant I used to go to back in the 60s before sushi was . . . sushi. Crazy, some of us were eating sushi in L.A. 50 years ago.
Loving your videos , new subbie here! 💖 Just a little fun fact : A lot of movies and tv shows are also filmed in Toronto, Canada, called " the Hollywood North" 😉 I am a background performer here. Can't wait to go back to LA again, it's been years. So sad for all the fires happening now.
I have done a day trip through Hollywood. Me and my friends trying to not look like tourists. This Fall I am doing a real trip to Hollywood, Ill be there for four days. Lots of walking and learning to use the Metro. This video was very helpful.
the real Hollywood is in Burbank, at the studios-- oh and take the subway to universal, free shuttle up the hill and you can walk Citywalk for free. mels diner is a good place off hollywood blvd.
Have to agree, got a shock when we stepped out of the subway. Parts are very seedy and rundown. Got sick of people shoving snakes or CD's in my face. Enjoyed Universal studios though.
Hollywood is different today then in 1970”sand 1980”s that’s why I spend 10 months out of the year in Thailand and Vietnam great beaches friendly people
Avoid walking around late at night. Hollywood Boulevard is okay, but our hotel was at Sunset Boulevard. There are a lot of homeless people. A homeless guy with a knife threatened us at Sunset Boulevard. Luckily nothing happened. I think that he was crazy, because he ended up screaming at cars while walking away from us. When we went to Hollywood Boulevard the next day there were people in costumes who like to take picture and then ask money for it. But that didn't bother me to be honest. Because I knew that they did the same in New York.
Great information Chris and I'll definitely check out Ernest's channel. I lived in California when I was a child and have gone back and explored many times. There are definitely gorgeous areas. However, I've never had a desire to go to Hollywood. What is the draw for tourists to go to Hollywood Blvd. I feel like I am missing some element since so many seem to visit. Is it just the 'movie' star attraction?
Definitely the movie star attraction. Everybody sees the celebrities on TV when they get their star on the walk of Fame, and people want to see it in person. The van tours of the movie star houses are popular too
For your information I’ve grown up in Hollywood California 1957 there’s still so much to do in Hollywood and surrounding area went to Hollywood high school and property owner in area (l.a zoo for children-Santa Monica pier-go around lake Hollywood and you can see Hollywood sign or up beachwood drive above franklin ave Griffith park and observatory located top of Vermont ave north tell you find it👍😎
Lynn Rinaldo,ITOTALLY agree! I was there in the daytime walking around and I was afraid! in the daytime.there were all sorts of creepy looking people, it was filthy and he's right it's not like you see on tv. 😜😝
You are absolutely right Hollywood blvd isn’t impressive at all especially when there’s a premiere traffic is insane and takes forever to get across the street, the best part is the Dolby theatre, be wary of street Chewbacca he went off when people didn’t want to take pictures with him, luckily street Spider-Man was there to put him in his place. That souvenir shop is awesome has a lot of great stuff inside and the staff was very nice
Thanks for the video! Hollywood Blvd almost feels like a tourist trap although the Walk of Fame looks really cool. Maybe you and Topher will have a star there someday!
Hey...fun video. What about the guys giving away free tickets for talk shows etc. I was there quite a few years ago and had a guy trying to give us tickets to a tape of the tonight show. Do they even do that any longer and is it a scam or legit? 😊

same with Venice Beach
It's definitely one of those "check box" destinations! You have to check the box that you've been there.. but once is enough :)
@@Carl_Johnson_from_grove_street you mean Verona Beach
So... if your a GTA5 player for the past 5 years...
If I hire a muscle car and toured for 2 weeks will i be disappointed?
Lmao!!!
Thanks Chris for exploring Hollywood with me! We had a great time and look forward to more collaborations with your channel. 😊
I had a great time shooting with you too Ernest! Yes... more collaborations ahead! :)

It's definitely a great place for people watching for sure!

Great tips chaps, I love Hollywood & all of its craziness
Thanks Mark!

Thanks Seth!
The blvd is awesome! Lived here for 30 yrs. Always something to see and never boring

Awesome.. I've got a whole bunch of other videos on Los Angeles, including how to ride the Subway.. make sure to check those out if you haven't yet!

mels diner is a good place off hollywood blvd.
I totally agree. I was just there last week.
Great video! Very informative and helpful...thanks!!
Thanks Stuart!
I'm visiting LA in November. This video is rightly timed for me. Excited 🤩
be sure to try Fat Sal's
High end? Musso & Franks. Old time Hollywood meetings vibe. I'm from L.A. but have lived in NY for years.
Never knew about the subway; im gonna have to try it next time. Thank you for the tip
*Hollywood is everything Hollywood*
Have to agree, got a shock when we stepped out of the subway. Parts are very seedy and rundown. Got sick of people shoving snakes or CD's in my face. Enjoyed Universal studios though.
snakes?!?
Yes, non venomous but some were quite large. also there were several people with them.
No snakes the say we were there... But we did get lots of CDs shoved in our face :)
Came out in the afternoon, the later it got the more there were.
No Place Like LA❤️😘

Thank you for sharing these tips!

Parking very easy: Sunday morning is free, you have to stop in a side street. (and no big crowd!)
Do you know if the parking garage at Hollywood and Highland Center is open during this time?

Hey Chris.. My flight gets me into LAX around 6pm when I go on my trip. I want to see this and the santa monica pier. Which should I do first?
Santa Monica is closer to LAX and is a good evening destination. Hollywood Blvd is definitely a daytime attraction
Man Greco's is good!
nice video in good idea.....who knows you will become movies star, although in now you only have become a video star. kakakakakakak
So true about Hollywood
Love your videos
Thanks Felipe!

Hah! Street Chewbacca was going off on people when we were there too! :)
Yellow Productions lol I’m sad I didn’t get it on film
GREAT ADVICE AND INFORMATION
Your videos are so helpful, keep doing a good job 😃❤️

Amazing video
Thanks Tanishk!
Thanks for the video! Hollywood Blvd almost feels like a tourist trap although the Walk of Fame looks really cool. Maybe you and Topher will have a star there someday!
Looking forward to that star! :)
I WAS ON THAT SIDE ABOUT 3AM
Hey...fun video. What about the guys giving away free tickets for talk shows etc. I was there quite a few years ago and had a guy trying to give us tickets to a tape of the tonight show. Do they even do that any longer and is it a scam or legit? 😊
Yes. They still do it. And it's legit
@@YellowProductions thanks so much Chris!
Only Thing I Like Is The Starline Tour Bus
Never knew Los Angeles had an underground rail line
Sounds like the Strip
It's worse than the strip
Literally have no desire to ever go back
3:40 I ate there before! Never again!
Your friend is so cute ;)
That’s the place I almost died😃
Doh. How'd that almost happen?
17$ is a arm and a leg
Don't put down my hood
Subway 🚇 is nasty 🤢
