Your Beverly Hills Shopping Trip

Head to the Golden Triangle/Rodeo Drive district for some "un-mall" shopping fun


Photo of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California, USA




If shopping in Beverly Hills seems a bit nostalgic...well, it should! The Beverly Hills shopping district was developed many years ago, before malls were "invented." Shopping on Main Streets throughout the country was just "what people did."

A lot of "yesterday" remains in the Beverly Hills shopping district today...which adds to the charm of the area. Do you remember what it was like before malls and superstores came along, extending shopping hours until 9 pm...or even later? Stores used to close in the late afternoon...which is still the practice in many Beverly Hills stores, which close around 5 to 7 pm.

Do you remember when saving change to feed parking meters was something that always stayed in the back of your mind? Well, Beverly Hills still has on-street parking meters, and you'll need to save your quarters to feed them! (Of course, there are parking lots, as well...both self-parking and valet. We'll talk about parking lot locations at the end of this page.)

For awhile, when indoor shopping malls were the rage, the Beverly Hills shopping district seemed rather quaint. Of course, times change, and now it's OUTDOOR malls that are ultra-popular in Southern California. And, the Beverly Hills district can seem like one giant outdoor mall, with stores beckoning you from every direction!








Beverly Hills Shopping -- Beverly Drive

In Beverly Hills, the most popular shopping district is called the "Golden Triangle" (or simply "The triangle") because it's laid out in the shape of a triangle....bordered by the streets of Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica Blvd, and Crescent Ave. While Rodeo Drive is the most famous of the shopping streets in this area, its sister street, Beverly Drive, seems more vibrant and "fun." Families gravitate to Beverly Drive for the several delightful children's shops ono the street. Plus, as a tourist to Southern California, you might just find yourself on Beverly Drive, anyway...because that's where the delightful Museum of Television and Radio can be found.
  • At the Museum of Television and Radio, you'll be able to enjoy using their collection of 120,000+ classic radio and TV episodes. (They even have vintage advertisements, as well!) Choosing what you'd like to hear and/or see first is a fun-but-tough decision! Naturally, there are exhibits interpreting various aspects of the broadcasting industry that you can look at while you're visiting the museum, as well.

    The Museum of Television and Radio address is: 465 N. Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, CA. The Museum of Television and Radio phone number is: 310/786-1025. This is the telephone number for recorded info about the museum, including hours of operation and ticket prices. (As of this writing, entrance to the museum costs $10/adults and $5/youth age 14 and under. Of course, you may wish to check the current prices immediately before making your visit.)

    For further information about the interesting attractions you'll find at the Museum of TV & Radio, you may use the following link to view the Museum of Television and Radio official website.

    Though I don't plan to cover the area's many restaurants on this page, there are a number of family-friendly restaurants where you can get a meal or a snack in the 400 North block of Beverly Drive, where your kids will always be welcome.

    Nate 'n Al's Delicatessen is a local "favorite." Located here on Beverly Drive since 1945, this is a long-time hangout which even sells its own "Nate 'n Al" gear! The Nate 'n Al Deli phone number is 310/274-0101; address 414 N. Beverly Dr. You may use the following link to view the Nate 'n Al Delicatessen official website.

    Other kid-friendly restaurants on Beverly Drive include The Beverly Hills Diner, phone number 310/271-2222; address, 474 N Beverly Dr. This cute "50's style" diner is famous for its juicy burgers and milkshakes so thick that a straw will stand alone.

    Children will also love the Beverly Hills location of the Cheesecake Factory, phone number 310/278-7270; address 364 N. Beverly Dr. After their meal, kids will have so many choices of the restaurant's famed cheesecakes (and other desserst) that they'll have a hard time making up their minds.

    The Baja Fresh Mexican Grill, phone number 310/858-6690 (address, 475 N Beverly Dr) is another casual dining location which welcomes kids. And at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, telephone 310/278-1865, (address, 445 N. Beverly Drive) you can make a quick stop in for your favorite specialty coffee or tea and a quick snack.

    While I'm talking about snacking places which children enjoy, permit me to mention another kid's "favorite," even though it's not on Beverly Drive. The Sprinkles Cupcake Store is a child's (and adult's, too!) delight. Located at the northern edge of The Triangle shopping district (the Sprinkle's Cupcake address is 9635 Santa Monica Blvd), you'll find an aroma-filled palace of confection when you enter Sprinkles. Only gourmet ingredients are used in a Sprinkles cupcake, which is why each flavor is so deliciously mouth-watering. The cupcake selection rotates daily, so you'll never be bored! You can call Sprinkle's Cupcakes at phone number 310/274-8765, if you'd like, to find out the ahead of time the cupcake varieties which will be available on the day you plan to visit.
