The goal of many visitors to Hollywood and Beverly Hills is to spot a celebrity. Timing is everything. Some guests have stayed in the heart of Beverly Hills for a week, hit all the right streets and restaurants, and left without one single sighting. Others comment on seeing a dozen stars before they even check into their hotel. I recommend heading over to The Grove and The Farmer’s Market off of Fairfax and Beverly. 
Brad Pitt, Selena Gomez, Seal and Heidi Klum, Khloe and Kim Kardashian, Ashley Tisdale and countless others have been spotted here. Not only do you have CBS Studios next door (This is where they tape Dancing With the Stars, American Idol, The Young and the Restless, and The Price is Right) but Mario Lopez usually tapes Extra at various locations around The Grove most weekdays between 9a-3p. Usually you don’t have to fight the crowds to watch the taping. From Snooki to Snoop Dog, the interviews take place among the fans. Jennifer Lopez, however, attracted 1000’s of people hoping to steal a glimpse. Even if you’re unlucky catching your favorite stars dining or shopping, you’ll love this venue, which is a true favorite of the locals. Just a few of your shopping, entertainment and dining options at The Grove: Abercrombie & Fitch, Anthropologie, American Girl Place, Banana Republic, Apple, Gap, Barnes and Noble, Crate and Barrel, Nordstrom, La Piazza Ristorante Italiano, The Cheesecake Factory, Michael Kors, Pacific Theaters, Maggiano’s Little Italy, and dozens of other stores and restaurants to keep you busy on a beautiful Los Angeles day or warm summer evening.
