While many of the shopping locations are becoming very corporate, but there are also some really great boutiques around as well. If you are looking to rock a new style, there is an array of store options to shop with. Many of the styles venture from rocker-style to bohemian, to business, and home. The shopping in Los Angeles is fit for anyone with a wallet and the urge to buy something.

The area is a cultural hub, housing many different festivals, and with a Buddhist temple just around the corner. There is a Hello Kitty store, and a Tokyo Outlet that is full of adorable stuffed animals, incense, cooking supplies, and more. This is a great place to shop and eat.

Los Angeles is a well established city in the foodie scene, and food trucks are a huge part of that culture. First Fridays is a fun way to try a few different places in one evening. Also, as it is located right on Abbot Kinney, there are a lot of really cool shops along the road as you hunt for culinary gold.

They bake their own french and ciabatta bread fresh daily, and the sandwiches they make with them are outstanding. Getting there early is a must, though, because they stop making sandwiches when they run out of bread (which happens more often and earlier in the day than you'd think).

A local music shop unlike any other. The back room is great for people who want to use guitars and add an extra something to their set-up. The main showroom hosts dozens of new gear you will not find at any large chain store, and you wouldn't want to, the environment is as sweet as the free candy they always offer.

If you're looking to sample local cuisine, there isn't a better place. Los Angeles cannot be defined by a single type of food--we have adopted so many cultural staples that it is impossible to pick just one. Here, you won't have to.

Comedy shows happen almost every night of the week in the back room, in an intimate and personal setting that allows for a lot of audience participation. While the lineup is usually available before the show, you never know who might pop in.

Vendors are usually the artists themselves, so the market is a great opportunity to chat with the creators about their wares. Its a great place to people watch, and to experience some of the food-truck culture of LA.

The store has a great energy to it--they play great music, and the staff is fun, friendly, and can usually be found singing along. There is also a small gallery contained in the back of the store that houses strange and thought-provoking exhibits.

The staff at Dementia are compassionate and very friendly. While the prices are a little higher than some of the Chinese glass shops around, the products are well worth the penny. The art glass collection at Dementia is some of the best I have scene in Los Angeles.
