The sights, sounds, history, and shops on Sunset Boulevard have tempted tourists and L.A. natives for over a century. Located off the "Sunset Blvd" exit on California's notoriously crowded 101 freeway is the 22-mile road that runs down some of Hollywood's biggest, greatest, most expensive and historic spots one could hope to trek to.
Movies
The ArcLight is where entertainment history begins and thrives. This state of the art theater opens daily at 10 a.m. and closes around after midnight, or whenever the last movie finishes.
Aspiring stand-up comedian and ArcLight employee Rob Antus says one of the main reasons so many people walk through their doors is because "the seats are like sitting in a nice water bed!"
Live Music
If you’re not in the mood for ArcLight’s cozy seating, keep cruisin’ till you hit The Roxy, the quintessential, intimate concert venue. Nirvana and Tori Amos have graced the stage before going major; and ticket prices are typically savings account friendly.
You don't have to be a hardcore Doors or Motley Crue fan to appreciate the venue in which they performed. Whiskey a Go-Go is a small bar where you're bound to have a good time. Be prepared to yell over the loud music, and if tight, crammed spaces don't appease you, you should skip this one.
Who needs inhibition at the Key Club? The Key Club is the place where Kelly Clarkson jumped on stage, gulped down Jack Daniel's straight from the bottle and belted out "Sweet Child of Mine" on stage at a Metal Skool Key Club concert. However, find out who's playing before you arrive, or you may just share some space with very ‘eclectic’ individuals.
High Standards
For those who enjoy surrounding themselves with snobs, The Standard hotel is the place for you. However, be warned, even though the place goes off, the snooty service can become a burden.

Dine in at the Drive-In
After a night of partying, it’s time to eat greasy at Mel's Drive-In. Conveniently located near stores and clubs, many create their own after party at the diner. Open 24 hours for your munchies.
Night Fishing
For sushi cravings, there’s Miyagi's, "the world's largest sushi restaurant." However, for waitress Jackie Arroyo, Miyagi's allows her to pay her rent "stress free," which means this place must be getting good business. Miyagi's servers and cooks satisfy sushi cravings 5:30 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Booze Delivery
If you want to get trashed without going out, Pink Dot delivers! Pink Dot is a convenience store that delivers alcoholic beverages up until 3 a.m. Its service is also accommodating to procrastinators. Orders can be placed any time before 2 a.m. and orders are delivered until 3 a.m. Mike Evangelista works for Pink Dot and he’s met Rihanna, Kathy Griffin, Jenna Jameson and Steve-O, just to name a few.
"Stop by and say hi to the Pink Dot crew and hang out here if you want. Over here at Pink Dot we're laid back," Mike said. The convenience store is open until 2 a.m., and you already have an invite.
