Los Angeles, United States of America
Abbot Kinney Boulevard

Where you can find the most obscure necessities of any hipster.

Forget the high end labels and spotlighted rarities found in the high end shopping districts of LA. Your treasured finds along Abbott Kinney would fall into the category of uniquely quaint instead. From scented bottles of self-care products to vintage fittings for your twin wheeled daily transport, there’s no guessing what you might find in the endless aisles of boutiques and cafes down the boulevard.


Entering the Heist, you’re greeted by the aesthetic arrangement of neutral tones and nude colors in minimalist beauty within the bare brick walls of the outlet. Headed by Nilou Ghodsi, this has all the classic necessities of the modern woman from velvet ankle boots to chic knitted products. If you’re at a loss as to what to gift to acquaintances once you return home, explore the shelves of The Burro. Though technically categorized as a stationary shop, it really is a jack of all trades with a vast array of trinkets and items for you to pocket back. A dab of the Scandinavian highlands, a touch of Japanese sensibilities and a quick spin sprinkled with bold Mexican outlines, home appliances of a dozen characters await to be discovered. Even if you aren’t intent on toting back bags laden with goods, the streets are still plenty for your eyes to linger on and appreciate.

Tips Before You Go
On the first Friday of each month, food trucks line up along the boulevard for a much anticipated food market. These trucks are hardly run of the mill, ensuring that LA staples like lobster rolls are served up but also dishing out goods from other states such as Philly cheese steaks. Yet the highlight of the show has to be the slightly mind boggling food creations that appear as a fad each year like the sushirritos or fusion baos.
