I don't really feel that there are great stores here. The typical - and with all of the variety in Los Angeles I am not sure why you'd go through the trouble. It has a great atmosphere at night, always busy and very hip. Parking is a pain and they charge you even if you validate.
We mostly just go for the movie theater. They do have the best Gap store I've found in the area.
Pros: nice atmosphere, hip and trendy
Cons: crowded, lame stores
