A visit to L.A. is always interesting. There are many good places in the city; the most remarkable of which is Hollywood.
In there, Sunset Boulevard is a popular street where the iconic theaters and "Walk of Fame" are located.

Among the iconic theaters is the El Capitan. What is remarkable about this theater is that its facade is in Spanish Colonial style while its interior has colorful and lavish East Indian design.

One should also take a walk along the "Walk of Fame." Walking here will not make you an instant celebrity. But it has the feel of how is it being famous.

A popular stall in this place is the "Eggslut." Its famous specialty is the "Slut" which according to its website, a "cage-free coddled egg on top of a smooth potato purée, poached in a glass jar, topped with gray salt and chives, served with slices of baguette." All I can say is that this gourmet meal is truly tasty.

Nearby is a German or Austrian food stall offering wurst and beer. It brought back my memory to the wurstelstands of Vienna.
