Ahhhh....The Grove!! Love this place! This outdoor shopping/entertainment/farmer's market is located in West Hollywood, near Beverly Hills. It is the site where Entertainment Tonight films and is often a place for the occasional celebrity sighting. I made sure to keep my eyes open for any celebrities, but to my dismay I had no luck! :(
My first visit to The Grove was with a new friend and fellow traveler Pam. We decided to meet for lunch and then do a little shopping. I have to say I was a little disappointed in the number and selection of stores. They did however have a Michael Kors store which I had been wanting to go to. I had been coveting a MK watch for a long time and decided to treat myself. I called it my "I've been living in LA for over a month and haven't bought myself anything expensive" present! Haha!
The best part of The Grove was the farmer's market located next to the shopping. It was a little cramped and filled with people, but it's still one of my favorite spots in LA so far! They have tons of stands and eateries filled with everything from fruits, veggies, sweets, nuts, pasta's, meats, etc. Pam and I decided to eat lunch at one of the eateries called The French Crepe Company. It was SO yummy!! Now, I've had crepes before, but I've only had them filled with fruits and sweet sauces. The French Crepe Company has tons of crepes filled with all kinds of lunch type stuff. I opted for the Marie Antoinette which you could customize to your liking. I decided on cheddar cheese, turkey, tomato, and avocado.
You could literally spend all day at The Grove! They even have one of the nicest movie theater's I've ever been in. I almost decided to stay and see a movie, but I just went in and took a picture.
It was a pretty fun and relaxing day! I can't wait to go back to The Grove and wander around the farmer's market and maybe even catch a glimpse of the filming of Entertainment tonight!
