Melrose Avenue
- Category: Neighborhoods/Streets
- Location: West Hollywood
Fodor's Review:
Back when alternative music was, well, alternative (and not Top 40), Melrose drew a colorful crowd of underground punks and heavy metal peacocks scouring the anti-conformist clothing shops and record stores along the "strip" between Fairfax and Poinsettia. Today, Melrose's hip factor has been tempered with mainstreamer additions such as Urban Outfitters and Starbucks. You'll find a good selection of vintage wear at resale shops Wasteland and Aardvarks' Odd Ark, then get your designer fix by traveling farther west to higher-end shops such as Fred Segal, Maxfield, Miu Miu, Agent Provocateur, and Betsy Johnson. Don't bother trying to hit the stores here early: shops usually don't start opening until noon.
