Where To Go If You Want To Be "Scene" In Los Angeles
If you want to see stars (or if you want to pretend to be one), here are some of LA's "scene-y" spots. We suggest putting on some enormous shades while you pretend to duck the paparazzi.
They should really change the name from “People” to “People Who Make More Money Than You For No Good Reason.”
If you go to this Beverly Hills Chinese restaurant and don’t see a celebrity then something is seriously wrong in the world. In fact, you might want to go home and wait for the impending apocalypse.

Crown Bar
7321 Santa Monica Blvd. Los Angeles , CA 90046
Who isn’t at Crown Bar? Party girl extraordinaire/train wreck Lindsay Lohan, party girl extraordinaire Paris Hilton, baby mama Nicole Richie, baby mama #2 Christina Aguilera, reality “star” Lauren Conrad… It seems like everyone’s here, well except for us “normal” people.
If you HAVE to go to the mall, then you simply have to go to the Grove. The parking situation is irritating, there’s a high likelihood you’ll get run over by a trolley while you’re walking around, and the place is overrun with high school students. And for some reason LA’s elite still keep coming back.

Robertson Boulevard (between Beverly and 3rd) is the mothership when it comes to scenes. Between celeb shopping meccas Kitson and Lisa Kline, you’re bound to see someone famous.

Where you can look like Paris…
Trust nightlife empire SBE to turn something as everyday as sushi into an “nightlife experience.” The Katsuya restaurants are designed by Phillipe Starck, so you can look super cool when all you’re doing is just sitting at a table! We hear Jay-Z comes here, maybe you can slip him our demo…

Do you feel like you’re being watched?
If you’re still waiting for your custom Bose speakers to arrive for your home theater, then head to the Arclight to get your movie fix. If it’s good enough for Justin Timberlake, it’s good enough for you.

Runyon Canyon
2001 N Fuller Ave Los Angeles , CA 90046
If you’ve got a pooch, this is the place to be seen walking it. This off-leash dog park is bombarded every day of the week with locals and their four-legged friends. Keep a lookout for animal-loving celebs like Drew Barrymore.
Les Deux
1638 N. Las Palmas Ave. Los Angeles , CA 90028
Any celeb worth their salt has been to Les Deux. While the place used to be a hangout for Madonna it has been downgraded to a place where cast members from “The Hills” and Wilmer Valderrama hang out. Still, just about every other celeb who’s gone to rehab has been to this legendary spot.
Stars: They’re just like you! Oh no, wait, actually they’re not.
CUT
9500 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles , CA 90024
All of Hollywood’s power couples come here to eat Wolfgang Puck’s deliciously expensive steaks. Tom and Katie, David and Victoria, Spencer and Heidi. Yes, we are disgusted with ourselves for referring to Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag as a “power couple.”
CUT
Cut into that $160 steak!
Foxtail Supper Club
9077 Santa Monica Blvd. Los Angeles , CA 90046
The Hiltons know it, the Maddens know it, the cast of “The Hills” knows it, so it’s about time you did too. Restaurants are SO passe. If you’re anybody, you eat at supper club, dahling.
Condiments are just so hip. So it only makes sense that a restaurant named after ketchup would be so… hip. Tara Reid has a stake in the place so it only makes sense that people like Lance Bass show up to eat there.

Where’s the mustard?
Where DID you get that perfectly faded vintage Mickey Mouse tee? Fred Segal, naturally. Celebs flock to this store like fat men flock to fried chicken. P Diddy, Paris Hilton, Christina Aguilera, and Sarah Jessica Parker are just some of the MANY celebs who have Fred fetishes.

God bless America (and Fred Segal).
Ridiculously expensive sushi? Count us in! But could you make our sushi with no rice? We’re trying to count carbs, thanks. Is that Jennifer Aniston? OMG, it’s the Olson twins!

Hyde
8029 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles , CA 90046
Where does Hilary Duff get drunk and Cameron Diaz snuggle with her date? Hyde, of course! This Sunset Strip club is all about the A-list crowd, so don’t be too upset when you can’t get in.
