Like it or not – Britney Spears is an icon. While she may have had a few rough patches here and there (leave Britney alone!), she has come out with some killer music and iconic videos. The pop princess may have put her Vegas show on hold, but fans have a unique opportunity to experience Britney in a much more close-up and personal way. Just across the street from the popular Los Angeles Original Farmers Market and outdoor shopping complex, The Grove L.A., a Britney pop up has, well, popped up inside of a repurposed department store. The building is huge and features sets rebuilt from iconic Britney videos as well as curated items (donated by Britney herself), for fans enjoy. Have

May 6, 2019
Where do the locals go in Los Angeles for great food? It’s a question all of us at Glitterati Tours hear all the time from guests taking our private tours of Hollywood and Beverly Hills. There’s many answers to the question, but The Original Farmers Market always tops our list. Not only is it a famous landmark (going strong since 1934), but it’s also located adjacent to the equally popular, The Grove L.A., with even more dining and shopping options. This is actually our #1 meeting location for guests coming in from Santa Monica, Newport Beach, Long Beach, San Pedro, or other locations. It’s perfectly centered and gives visitors plenty of parking and a great location to dine/shop before or

Alo Yoga Thrive Event at The Grove

The Original Farmers Market in Hollywood
July 19, 2018
For over 84 years, The Original Farmers Market in Hollywood has been a local favorite. Even their tagline is “Meet Me at Third and Fairfax.” It’s at this intersection in 1934 that local farmers were invited to sell their goods off the back of trucks. Soon after, merchants and grocers joined in, and opened permanent kiosks or stalls that acted as their restaurants and stores. Since that time, it’s remained a must-visit for neighbors, celebrities, and of course travelers to our city. Everyone has visited this corner including Frank Sinatra, President Dwight Eisenhower, Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, Shirley Temple, and The Beatles. To this day, you can still see your favorite celebs. In fact, there’s a handful of tables by Bob’s
Healthy Hollywood Summer Treats

We live in the age of dietary restrictions. Whether you are battling an intolerance, trying to fix your “leaky gut,” or just trying to step up your health game, it can be hard to find a dessert that is cool, sweet, and good for the entire family.

This past week I had a few friends in town who have some pretty crazy dietary restrictions. Between my Celiac, her lactose intolerance / FODMAP, and his SIBO diet, it was hard to find something we could all enjoy together. Cut to an unexpected find as we were
