Shopping in LA?
My family and I intend to go to LA from 20th to 25th DEC and have the
following questions:
* Which are the good shopping Malls for trendy non-European designer
women’s fashion and what is the distance from the 4 Seasons Hotel?
* Which are the good antique shops specialising in Art Deco and their
location/distance from the hotel.
* ditto dealers that deal in Antique wristwatches?
*Which is a good Tex/Mex,Mexican,Pizza and Chinese to take along a 9
year old child near Wilshire?
*Where is the best place to get women’s eye brows shaped in the
locality of the 4 seasons Hotel?
* which is a good reliable and inexpensive limo Cmpany and what are
their per day charges?
* The Four Seasons Los Angeles
The Four Seasons (located at 300 South Doheny Drive, which is in Beverly Hills) itself offers limo service from the airport (rates listed on its website,
http://www.los.angeles.the-hotels.com/four-seasons-los-angeles.htm)
* Beverly Hills
The following two sites offer general information on tourism in Beverly Hills, including shopping, dining and other interests such as beauty salons and concierge services:
Beverly Hills Tourism (http://www.beverlyhillstourism.com/english/index.htm)
All About Beverly Hills (http://www.allaboutbeverlyhills.com/)
* Shopping
Rodeo Drive is 2 miles away from the Four Seasons, and the Beverly Center (a shopping mall) is also 2 miles away.
The Beverly Center (www.beverlycenter.com) has a long list of women’s clothing stores, from the Gap and Guess to DKNY and Betsy Johnson.
Los Angeles magazine (http://www.losangeles.com/shopping/index.shtml)
provides an overview of the top shopping areas in Los Angeles, which include Rodeo Drive, Melrose Avenue, Beverly Boulevard, Third Street, and La Brea, which are all close to each other and to the Four Seasons.
* Art Deco
For Art Deco, I found several dealers of reproductions, but for actual antiques, I came up with Ann Hauck Art Deco
(http://www.annehauckartdeco.com/), which is at 8738 Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles. The website features an online catalog.
The Shapes Collection (www.shapescollection.com) deals in French art deco, and is located at 10201 National Blvd. in Los Angeles. This location is 4.4 miles from the Four Seasons, according to Yahoo! Maps.
* Wristwatches
Wanna Buy A Watch? (www.wannabuyawatch.com) features vintage watches and is located at 7366 Melrose Ave. This location is 2.5 miles from your hotel, according to Yahoo! Maps.
* Food
For Mexican food on Wilshire, Citysearch.com’s readers recommend El Cholo, at 1025 Wilshire Blvd. in Santa Monica. This is approx. 10 miles from the Four Seasons hotel. Also on Wilshire (12217 Wilshire) is Citysearch editors’ pick Casa Antigua (approx. 5 miles from the
Four Seasons). They also recommend the kid-friendly Loteria Grill at 6333 W 3rd St. (2 miles from the Four Seasons).
For pizza, the reader poll on Citysearch suggests Mulberry St. Pizza at 240 S. Beverly Dr. in Beverly Hills (1.2 miles from the Four Seasons).
For Chinese, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro (121 N. La Cienega Blvd.) is a popular chain restaurant. You might also want to consider a trip to Los Angeles’ Chinatown (http://www.chinatownla.com/) for authentic
Chinese food.
For kid-friendly food not in the categories you mentioned, consider Jerry’s Famous Deli at 8701 Beverly Blvd. (less than one mile from the Four Seasons). Jerry’s is known for its celebrity clientele.
You may also wish to browse the Zagat Guide for top Los Angeles restaurants for more suggstions.

* Eyebrow Shaping
Beverly Hills offers a choice of spas that provide this service. Some of them include:
Rafflesamrita Spa (http://www.rafflesamritaspa.com/trea/) has brow shaping for $30. They are located at 9291 Burton Way in Beverly Hills.
Reservations are recommended.
George Michael Beverly Hills
(http://www.georgemichael-longhair.com/services.html) offers brow shaping for $15. They are located at 9845 Little Santa Monica Blvd. in Beverly Hills.
J’ai of Beverly Hills Studio
(http://www.jaiofbeverlyhills.com/services.html) comes recommended by Allure and USA Today. The location is 404 S. Bedford Dr. in Beverly Hills.
* Limousines
LimoFind.com offers a listing of Los Angeles area limo services:
http://www.limofind.com/California/Limousine_Limo_Services/Los_Angeles/home.html
One of the better looking ones from their list, assuming you want something more than a ride from the airport, include Executive Transportation (http://www.execlimoservice.com/).
