If you're looking for action and buskers, Hollywood is where you want to be. The daytime can be a little mild because this area really comes alive at night. If you're looking for an upscale dinner, a swanky bar, or a nightclub - Hollywood can provide all that and more.
Parking is available at various lots in the area, but Uber/Lyft is highly suggested - especially if you plan on having a night out drinking.
