Hawthorne District

Home to fun digs such as the Bagdad Theater (where patrons can watch a movie while enjoying beer and pizza) and an electic mix of local high-end fashion, Hawthorne Blvd is a favorite hangout for anyone looking for good eateries and shopping.

The street is also home to the Powell's Home & Garden bookstore. Sure, more ubiquitous and less conspicuous brands such as Aveda and Coldstone have also moved in -- but don't let them fool you, there's plenty of fun to be had in this neighborhood still.
