As a shopping center staple of the 818 it's an "OZ" like hub of some of my favorite haunts in the Los Angeles Valley... Including Vegan Studio, the heart aka hearty eat spot that I discovered in 2020... Residuals, a great divey bar for liquid courage, in the corner of this shopping ceneter and Drip & Roll, the brain or rather brain freeze you didn't know you needed with non-dairy options as well as many classic curds but more so whey like frozen desserts. The parking lot is fairly easy to navigate and usually you'll be in luck, however as more businesses shift back into running at some larger capacity for indoor and/or outdoor enjoyment... Street parking is always your friend and there's plenty of it! Get your haircut, your back kneaded, your nails did and maybe a tattoo via the famous Studio City Tattoo just next door to this perfect plaza of local small biz enjoyment. Don't forget to fuel up at many choice food spots as well like Sushi Dan or Tortas Mexico or my choice pick My Vegan Studio. Many more small businesses just next door and beside here with a big public transit hub for a more green day and central to tons of spots and conveniences... What more could you want!

You also get free 90 minutes parking here and have to give the valet people your key because of the way the parking spots work. You might get boxed in or you'll be the one boxing in the other car. The scenery here is amazing with the little ponds and sitting area. The atmosphere here makes you feel like you're at a park. My wife and I came here because she wanted to visited Hoka store to try their comfortable shows. Then she wanted to go to Erewhon to try their overpriced smoothies.

Uh oh. The marriage of two luxury giants in one high-end shopping center is bound to create a…read moreparking headache. They've done the best they can, but Equinox and Erewon in one place? Catastrophe. Here's the deal: most parking is tandem; if you're the first one in to your spot, no problem. If you're the next car, blocking the first one, a valet attendant will take your key just in case #1 wants to leave before you do. 90 minutes free. I was recently there for about two hours and it was $3. Once you've parked, it's awfully nice in this outdoor shopping center. Half-a-dozen stores (I like Wittmore for high style guy's stuff) and the main attraction -- restaurants --including Uovo (I could eat that Bolognese every day), Sugarfish, and a fancy-fast-food burger place called HiHo. Lazy day outdoor seating, with some nice shady spots to enjoy your single slice of Coconut Cake from Erewon ($18).

Who says malls are dead? Apparently they have not been to Fashion Square because it was poppin!…read more I have not been to a mall in ages. Normally, they're just not my thing. I prefer shopping with individual merchants in my neighborhood. But eventually, we all have to take a trip to the Apple Store, or to a department store. It's inevitable. What I forgot about is how friendly all the merchants are. I parked at the wrong end of the mall and couldn't seem to find my bearing. All I had to do was ask any Merchant and they all directed me with a smile to where I needed to go. Even when I didn't buy anything from them. People were just very accommodating and happy. I guess malls are a happy place. Retail therapy is real. I can't speak much to value, because of course prices range from hide below, depending up on where you're going. I went to Bloomingdale's for lunch and then I went to H&M for jeans. High to low. I must say that everything is so convenient. I picked up things I didn't really intend to because I remember I needed them and I was there. All in all, I would say it was a great experience. I'll probably be going back to the mall again.

Parking is limited here so you'll likely have a difficult time finding a spot if you come in the afternoon. I was lucky to see someone leaving so I got their spot. Some cars like to double park and it's a narrow spot so just be aware. Trader Joe's is here which is likely the reason there a lot of people taking up the parking spots.

I don't think I go out of my way to visit the Grove, considering the distance and the difficulty of getting parking. Huge crowds, have to pay for parking, and even if you walk farther away, it's a risk to get towed and there's metered parking too that hit a 2 hour maximum, at least the last time I went there. Aside from accidentally wandering in here or being here for a specific event (seeing Yoshiki over a decade ago or the 20th anniversary Rilakkuma pop up, which was absolutely fisted with people), I've only wandered here on accident when hanging out with friends elsewhere. There's a good number of shops and eateries though, especially since it sort of shares the space/is right next to the Farmer's Market (great open area to go shop and to go dine). Large overlap of the same shops and eateries as the Americana, but there's things there that we don't have in Glendale. Lot of higher end businesses. Big fan of the La La Land Kind Cafe and what they do, their drinks, and their aesthetic. It's not a bad outdoors mall, considering how "fancy" it is, the fact that it's outside in the California sunshine, and the fountain with the Bellagio style musical water shows, but just know that the parking can get hideous.

I love all the specialty stores there.... such as the NBA store, I had to buy a Lakers jersey with my favorite player, Luka 77! The prices not bad compared to Universal! I don't know how parents do it these days with the price of souvenirs, food, drink! Save up so you don't miss the experience! We found the chocolate emporium which is a steam punk theme! We met Thomas the bartender, I love a bartender who makes you feel special from the time you seat down until you leave! The happy hour was perfect! A glass of Chardonnay for $8. The food was super good there too! No charge to split a salad! We went early before the park was closed so it was nice to have no crowds. If you have any questions, please reach out to me!! Have fun and go makes some memories!!

Visually, superior to Downtown Disney. Selection of shops and eateries, I cannot say the same. I've…read moregone to Disney more, so apologies for the constant comparison. Parking varies if on if you have a pass, if you're just going to the theme park, and if you're going to do validation only for City Walk. Though, it's pretty cool that it's reduced after 5 PM (technically you can do this for Disney, and , but it's after 7-ish instead). The scale of everything and the neon lights, and photo ops are much more impressive. Great to look at, at night and this was the location of my senior prom. Wish I had the intellect to just wander around City Walk instead of being forced to be in one of their event buildings only with some of the most cringe people I've met in my life. But I digress. Dining options are tad more limited with more desserts and quick service, standard fast food chains (probably the craziest Raising Cane's I've ever seen), and a couple of sit down restaurants. Neat that they have a Pink's since it's so closely tied to Hollywood history. For shopping, they do have a bunch of businesses that you can find at your local mall like Lids, Hot Topic, Shoe Palace (lol), Tilly's and much more. I think for the must stops and unique shops, it'd be the Sanrio and Hello Kitty Cafe, that chocolate emporium place (insane name), the Line Friends shop, and of course the shop that sells all the merch from Universal Studios. Due to the distance and the cost, it's not a place I'd go out of my way for, but if you're already at Universal or it's after 5 PM, it's worth it as a tourist and to explore.

It's not a very big shopping center, but it was packed when I was here. Parking was slightly challenging as there are some tight space. Just be careful when backing up and exiting. Hence, 4 stars. I don't live nearby Burbank. I probably may not return back to this shopping center. If I'm in the area for whatever reason, I will definitely drop by to shop at a few of the other businesses within this shopping center. Thank you Lakeside SC!
