The Grove

The Grove is one of the ultimate shopping and entertaining destinations of LA. Built in 2002, the 575,000 square foot center incorporates the intact Farmers Market and retains a lot of its original ambiance. The Grove is not a typical hustling mall. With its faux main street modeled on indigenous Los Angeles buildings, gleaming green streetcar and choreographed fountains it is more like a town's marketplace full of fun stuff and goodies. Packed with upscale boutiques and brand stores, the complex attracts enormous numbers of shoppers and those seeking some cool entertainment in its copious restaurants and diners, movie theaters and the water feature-adorned park. Celeb spotting guaranteed.
