So many stores and styles to choose from. I definatley loved that you could find items that you cant get at a regular mall. Definately a must for shoppers !

I've heard, "cute boutiques and funky shops." 1st of all, nothing opens till the afternoon. 2nd, the shops are more like tattoo parlors and "intimacy boutiques." My 15 yr old was mortified. And it's very dirty. East of Orlando has about 2 blocks of very upscale shops. Dash is there and the main reason my daugther wanted to go. But... More

You must shop this street if you come to LA - the independent boutiques are fun and intriguing even if you arrive from another large city !

I found that most of the merchants I visited delivered personal service and were welcoming, which is always nice. Perhaps they knew that I had money to spend? I would hope that they would treat those browsing the same way, but in this area one never knows. Street parking is an issue. There is a paid parking lot nearby.

We recently wandered down Melrose from around Sweetzer (where our hotel was located) to LaBrea. It was a beautiful day and the window shopping and people watching was excellent.

If your like $100 used levi jeans this is the spot. It's great to wander the shops. Good Johnny Rockets right on the sidewalk with tons of outdoor eating. Still the hip area of LA.

An interesting strip of shops, cafes and restaurants. There is something for everybody here, from high end designers down one end to second-hand shops down the other. It also has the chain stores like Urban Outfitters. A mix of places to stop and eat/drink also. We enjoyed Melrose Ave so much the first time that we returned our next stop... More

Okay...There are some cute shops that are worthy of patronage, for sure, but I don't like a lot of the styles Melrose promotes, considering that jeans with huge holes in them fetch thousands of dollars merely because the label sewn inside is "prestigious"...Also, so many of the clothes are poorly constructed. There are three or four shops I do, and... More

My daughter adored the shopping experience while I could have gone without. Many of the stores carry the exact same thing so it was like walking into the same store over and over again... and the stores worth visiting you can find anywhere really. Robertson, Beverly Center etc. That being said, it was still a fun day and it made... More
