A "must-see" site is the official Hollywood Walk of Fame outside of Grauman's Chinese Theatre. The street is paved with the handprints - and occasionally the prints of other body parts - celebrity stars and signatures of Hollywood icons. As you walk down the world's most famous sidewalk, you will meet the characters of Hollywood Boulevard-the street performers and vendors who have taken to the Walk of Fame over the decades.
Since opening in 2001, Dolby Theatre has served as a venue for televised theater performances.

Missed a Farmer's Market? Head over to Tom's Farms for fresh produce, homemade sweets, a variety of wines and beers, cheese and even a furniture store. You might want to grab a bite to eat while you are out there as well, at the hamburger or Mexican restaurants. On the weekends, be sure to stop by the crafts fair for some live music and local vendors. There is even a petting zoo for the kids.
