THE PERFECT SOUTH FLORIDA SEASIDE CITY
As
fabulous as Hollywood’s beach and broadwalk are another whole world of activity
lies less than two miles inland.
Some
go by car, but others walk Hollywood Boulevard due west – over the Intracoastal
Waterway along a Royal palm-lined grand thoroughfare dotted with historic homes
– to reach the revitalized downtown Hollywood.
Like
many cities, Hollywood’s downtown had suffered greatly while stores and
restaurants moved to new buildings along freeways and other routes.
Thankfully,
picturesque art deco structures were spared from the wrecking ball even during
downtown Hollywood’s darkest days.
With
a great deal of effort from city and business leaders, those magnificent
structures from the ’20s and ’30s are now filled with restaurants, shops and
clubs of every kind.
Downtown
Hollywood’s Harrison Street, Young Circle, Hollywood Boulevard and dozens of
streets in between feature more activity on a weeknight than most city’s
downtowns can boast on a summer Saturday night.
Music
can be heard inside jazz, blues and rock clubs – or outside on street corners
most any night of the week.
Dining
runs the gamut from homestyle diners with dirt cheap breakfast specials to fine
dinner houses serving Italian, Thai – even Romanian fare.
