Two Rodeo Drive

Chabad Of Northern Beverly Hills Put On A Fantastic Chanukah Event!
For the Very First Night back on Sunday, December 6, 2015, it was such a lovely and lively Event held at Two Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills where all the tourists go to take pictures at, Believe It Or Not!
They not only lit the menorah, but they gave out latkes, doughnuts, hot chocolate and even had a magician performing as well.
They also played live music and had games for the children to play.
I want to give the Chabad Of Northern Beverly Hills a Big Round Of Applause for Making My First Night Of Chanukah A Memorable One and a Big Thank You to Two Rodeo Drive for allowing US to use your space for the Chanukah Lighting Event!

Great place to visit whilst in LA.

Great starting point if you want to be touristy on rodeo
Great photo spots etc
Pretty and fitting for Beverly Hills

One of the «Must Take Visitors» places in Beverly Hills, CA is Two Rodeo Drive. It is located on Rodeo Drive at the corners of Wilshire Boulevard and Dayton Way. I like the cobblestone street where the place is found. Gives a little feeling of being in Europe.
Two Rodeo Drive is a very high-​end outdoor shopping plaza. Retailers such as Tiffany & Co., Versace, and Jimmy Choo reside here. We do not come here to shop, though. We come to take pictures with family and friends. Maybe even celebrities, if we’re lucky.
Yes, it is touristy. I do like this touristy place. It sure beats going to Hollywood! No panhandlers here!

Two Rodeo Drive is incredibly short and filled with high end shops that most people can only dream of shopping here. So you have a lot of people who just walk along the beautiful cobblestone street window shopping.
I came here last month with my cousin who was visiting from out of the country because he had his heart set on going here during his visit (for some reason, all out of country and out of state people think all of the notable places in LA must be really close together). We just kind of walked through this little street in 10 minutes (really it is that short). My cousin took some pictures at the end of the drive (pretty famous spot) so he could post it on his facebook page (true story, he really did and it is currently apart of his profile photo)
Honestly, there really isn’t a whole lot to see here but hopefully you will use your trusty Unilocal app to find some great restaurants to dine at to make your drive worth coming out here (it took over an hour for us to get out here since I’m from the San Gabriel Valley).

Very popular location for many movies and TV shows. Great place for pictures. When you are done, you can walk around to Tiffany and company, Porsche Design, Versace, Stefano Ricco, Vertu or eat at their café. You never know who you might see or meet.

Its pretty nicely developed and well situated.
However, most of the stores close at 6 and lot of window displays are taken off! Free valet parking is ONLY for cars entering before 6 PM and they wont tell you this even if you call them!

Nothing special. Overpriced shops and judgmental salespeople.

Iconic, I remember coming here as a kid, posing for pictures.
Then again every few years, what do out of towners want to see?
Rodeo Drive.
Two Rodeo is even prettier, a tiny winding street, cobbelstones, it feels very European.
Pedestrian only, it is empty here every time I come.
More of a «tourist attraction» than shopping destination.
I have been through the boutiques, window shopping, though there are better deals to be had pretty much anywhere else.
A must see at least once in your lifetime!

Friends or family from parts of which I came some 25+ years ago require maintenance, make that high maintenance when they visit their Bev Hills connection, make that moi!
In the interest of integrity, pride of zipcode, providing a visitor experience they’ll write home about, I created «The Beverly Hills Fashion/​Fitness Walk”©.
2 Rodeo is about midway in this 4-​mile trek that begins at Roxbury Park
. Plenty of ooh and aah photo ops… cobble stone, fountain, high end shopping, European ambiance
, «Pretty Woman» hotel
across the street, all the stuff when you live here you take for granted.
After we get through that, the tour proceeds on north Rodeo where I direct their attention to Robert Graham’s sculpture, Torso
, Van Cleef & Arpels (Beverly Hills Cop
), Harry Winston (glitz loaned to Oscar red carpet starlets
), more designer shopping AND just being on THE hottest street in the 90 210.
At this point my guests have no idea Beverly Gardens Park
awaits (all the way to Doheny, nearly into WeHo) but so does breakfast and/​or lunch on my dime at a resto they’ll remember.
OK, that’s the tourist stuff. Listen up locals. If you’re into art grab a look-​see where 2 Rodeo ends at Dayton Way and Rodeo Drive meet. Find Deborah Butterfield’s «Storm Castle»
, powerful bronze horse sculpture corralled now through the end of this month. A focal point in Beverly Hill’s Year Of The Horse Chinese New Year celebration, you’ll kick yourself if you miss it.

My eyes have seen the glory of the one percent! Whether you stroll down Rodeo Drive or the Italian looking elevated Two Rodeo Drive you know how it must feel to be not wealthy but very very wealthy.
The jewelery shops on either level display what has to be hundreds of thousands of dollars if not more. Take a picture with or without your wife, does it really matter. On the one block long upper level or the five block long Rodeo Drive, you know you are in Beverly Hills.
Cars, cars and more high end and very rare autos sit parked along the famous avenue. Dozens of visitors, mostly foreigners stand out into the street taking photos.
Meanwhile some of the best known and most expensive shops line both sides of the street. This is an amazing experience even for me.
Yet, my wife was offered and accepted a free facial from a beauty shop during our stroll. You don’t know what to expect and you thought all it takes is a lot of money.
Sadly it came to an end as we were soon boarding a bus for Century City.
Was this a dream? I hope not, my wife still has a tube of that facial cream.
Take our LA Tour, click on to my photo. Day 2 of 9. Start at 2÷10÷14.

#174. You probably won’t be buying much here, but Rodeo Drive is a must if you’re visiting the area. This place reminds me of Santana Row in the bay, but obviously much fancier. You will most likely be doing a lot of window shopping and photographing. There are fancy cars (
), fancy people, fancy dogs, etc. If you can’t find street parking, there is free parking in select garages if you’re not staying for long.

This street was so much fun to photograph. Even though I couldn’t afford to shop there, I enjoyed looking at the architecture of the buildings and people’s fancy outfits.
It’s a nice place to visit if you’re in LA area.
Wanna see the pictures I took in Rodeo Drive? Feel free to check them out here:

Rodeo Drive and, in particular, the Two Rodeo Drive complex seem straight out of the movies. $$$$ stores, impeccably dressed people, and a parade of Lamborghinis and Aston Martins congregate under chic, European style architecture. But unlike Santana Row in San Jose, the faux European buildings at Two Rodeo Drive actually look fancy with their detailed columns and arches. Two Rodeo Drive also has 2 HOUR FREE VALET parking (no validation needed), something you’d never encounter in the Bay Area.
It’s comical, really. One minute you’re driving up Santa Monica Boulevard surrounded by Toyotas and Chevys and the next moment you’re turning left onto Rodeo surrounded by S-​Class Mercedes. Where did they come from, you ask? But before you can answer that you’re turning right onto Dayton Way and pulling into the free underground parking at Two Rodeo Drive. You hand your keys to the valet and notice that the two cars parked right next to the valet are worth at least $ 1 million. What are the odds? You ask yourself the same question once you’ve taken the elevator up to the ground floor and walk out onto Rodeo, noticing that every rare street level parking spot is taken up by a Ferrari or Bugatti. Are these people just luckier than the rest of us? Or do they have a staff of personal attendant who wait around, securing prime parking spots for them to show off their cars?
Too often, reality isn’t what you see in the movies or read in the papers. Growing up in Palo Alto, the incubator for so many of today’s largest tech companies, you don’t realize how talented the people around you are: You just see trees, sleepy suburban neighborhoods, and coffee shops. But in Beverly Hills reality is larger than the big screen: Cars are really fancier, people are dressed pristinely, and the shopping districts rival those of the world’s largest cities. It’s almost as if everyone is putting on a big show to keep up with the city’s reputation. Which begs the question: Which came first: The city or the myth?

Likes: How can anyone NOT want to come here? There is valet parking that is free for the first 2 hours. Take the elevator up and boom, you’re on Rodeo Drive and surrounded by plenty of places to eat and shop and lighten your wallet.

DEr Rodeo Drive stand ja eigentlich nur auf meiner LA Sightseeing Liste, und nicht auf der Shoppingliste.
Trotzdem war ich etwas «enttäuscht»…es war nicht wirklich aufregend meiner Meinung nach. Eine Straßen (und Nebenstrassen) mit den teuersten Geschäften die alle von Securities überwacht werden, und in denen dann eben die Reichen & Prominenten shoppen gehen.
Aber spektakulär war da wirklich nichts.
Mein highlight war dann die Cheescake Factory & der Starbucks :-p
Aber man kanns ja mal gesehen haben… und wer es sich leisten kann, kann auch shoppen gehn :)

Prepare to spend that money, honey.
That is all.
Oh and parking is a big biznatch.

voila ca casse pas 3 pattes a un canard :)

What can go wrong on Rodeo Drive on a beautiful sunny Sunday. All of my favorite stores and the beautiful walkway, even if you’re poor you’ll feel rich walking around this area. Ever store you walk into from Chanel to Bebe everything is nicely organized and the staffs are friendly. Even if you’re there just to window shop it’s a beautiful area to enjoy a nice breeze.

For most of us, Rodeo Drive is more a tourist spot than a shopping destination. A visit to L.A. without a stroll along this street of fame, fortune, and fashion is like eating an ice cream sundae without a cherry on top — satisfying, but incomplete.
Two Rodeo Drive (between the corners of Wilshire Blvd. and Dayton Way) is an inescapable lure with its small European cobblestone street charm and Disneyland cleanliness. Any schlep can walk and gawk at the luxury shopping options. Often it is remarkably quiet like a ghost town after hours, so, come while businesses are open.
The shops at Two Rodeo include Versace, Tiffany & Co., Lanvin, and Jimmy Choo. For dining, world-​renowned, elite, & über-​pricey Japanese sushi house Urasawa is the crown jewel at Two Rodeo, but 208 Rodeo Restaurant or McCormick & Schmick’s may fit more budgets.
Two Rodeo Drive is almost like a movie set … a picturesque and expensive set. The steps by Wilshire and the Fountain are photo spot #1. The other is at the corner of Via Rodeo and N. Rodeo Drive with the famous Rodeo street sign so you can let all your friends back home know that you came, you saw, and you took a picture.
«A girl (or guy) can dream, right!»

Technically, Two Rodeo Drive is the ultra high-​end mini-​mall that’s located between Dayton Way and Wilshire Blvd, and parallel to Via/​N. Rodeo Dr. It’s a very popular tourist spot in Beverly Hills. While some of the stores, such as Jimmy Choo, Lalique, and Georg Jensen, face Rodeo, the «heart» of the development is a pedestrian-​only stretch that consists of Spanish cobblestone steps with boutiques on either side. Brands along this small path include Versace, Tiffany & Co. (and other fine jewelers), Porsche Design, and Vertu. At the intersection of Rodeo and Dayton is the metallic statue that was seen in Julia Robert’s 1990 movie Pretty Woman.
While most people can’t afford to shop here, it’s still a nice place for a quick stroll. The block has a heavy European influence to it. The «Spanish Steps» on the Wilshire Blvd. end has an elegant fountain which is perfect for photo ops.
Follow Rodeo Dr. two blocks northwest of Two Rodeo to find the rest of this shopping district’s stores and restaurants. Some of the more «mainstream» brands can be found along this stretch, such as Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren, and Lacoste. That’s not to say there aren’t any luxurious brands either. Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana, Emporio Armani, and Hermes can also be found here.
I can’t write about Rodeo Drive without mentioning Bijon, known as one of the most expensive stores in the world. By appointment only (and the appointments cost a lot of money), the store has a $ 1.7 million sports car sitting outside its doors. Inside, suits for men start at $ 50,000. Bottles of perfume have price tags of $ 700. Several wealthy and powerful men own Bijan suits including Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Michael Jordan. Also in the neighborhood is Dr. Zein Obagi’s office, founder of Obagi Skin Care.
There’s an underground parking deck at Two Rodeo, but your best bet is probably to street park and pay at one of the individual parking meters. The meters work in 15-​minute increments, every 15-​minutes costing 50 cents, and they take credit card.

Probably one of the must visit locations when one is in LA. Since we visited in early afternoon hours we were able to locate parking easily. But I suppose it would be difficult to find parking during peak rush hours.
I think almost all the leading fashion labels have the stores on Rodeo drive. One needs couple of hours to explore the entire stretch. I didn’t run into any celebrities maybe next I would be the lucky one.
