Wilshire Boulvard, Museum Row and Farmer's Market
Map of Wilshire Boulvard, Museum Row and Farmer's Market
The three-block stretch of Wilshire Boulevard known as Museum Row, east of Fairfax Avenue, racks up five intriguing museums and a prehistoric tar pit to boot. Only a few blocks away is the historic Farmers Market and The Grove shopping mall, a great place to people-watch over breakfast. Wilshire Boulevard itself is something of a cultural monument -- it begins its grand 16-mi sweep to the sea in downtown Los Angeles.
