Auto buffs can explore vintage cars at the Petersen Automotive Museum and art
enthusiasts will revel in a day at LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) or one of the
visiting exhibits like Van Gogh in the adjacent event's building,
(advanced tickets are generally required for special exhibits).
After nine PM, the mood on the Mile switches
from educational to entertainment. Musical acts and other forms of entertainment
play nightly at the El Rey. Or, if you prefer live Salsa, dance the night away at the
Conga Room or club hop among the other entertainment venues and multiple
night clubs along the Miracle Mile Strip.
Hancock
Park and its beautiful manicured grounds surrounding the La Brea Tar Pits is the perfect
picnic place. On Friday afternoons from 5 PM to 8 PM year around, free live Jazz
music and no host beer and wine are available in the LACMA courtyard.
You can bring children to this. This happy
hour event can attract over 500 people any given Friday.
For fine dining enthusiasts, some LA's best restaurants,
(all highly recommended) are less than a mile
away on La Brea Avenue including Sonora Café (High Class Authentic Mexican Food),
Campanile's and Cá Brea (Upscale Italian Food). Beverly Hills is just two miles to
the west and includes such landmark restaurants as The Ivy (California Cuisine) on
Robertson, Spago (Wolfgang Puck's flagship restaurant) on Canon, and our favorite romantic
getaway, Le Colonial (French Vietnamese and California Cuisine) off Beverly Boulevard.
Reservations are recommended for all restaurants mentioned and all parking is valet.
Miracle Mile is also home to many well known companies including Spelling
Productions, Variety Magazine, E! Entertainment Television and The Screen Actors Guild.
Keep you're eyes open. You just might see a star.
Warnings:
Miracle Mile is a very upscale singles community. It is also very high in car theft (though other crimes
are rare). We strongly recommend using one of the fee paid lots, rather than parking
on the streets if at all possible, especially if you plan to stay in the area past nine
o'clock at night.
