HOLLYWOOD ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT. This Hollywood Boulevard landmark has figured prominently in LA’s movie life since it opened in 1927. Old Hollywood stars frequented the bustling place until it closed in the 1950s. Reopened and renovated in 2001, the reborn Pig ‘N Whistle features Hollywood bistro cuisine and serves as both restaurant and bar. Go for a classic burger or a turkey club, or try pastas, pizzas, grilled fish, or shepherd’s pie for dinner. Stay late and nurse a single malt scotch or a glass of wine while you enjoy live bands or DJs as they get the crowds moving.
