"In the courtyard of Ovation Hollywood (6801 Hollywood Boulevard) I learned that the Korean Kimchi Festival comes to Hollywood on Saturday, November 12 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.; it is free to the public and features kimchi-making demonstrations, kimchi tastings, influencer segments, and more." - Cathy Chaplin
"I think now is a good time to get over to Ovation Hollywood (still 'Hollywood & Highland' to locals) to try the Yolo Cotton Candy machine—insert a credit card to receive a customized stick of liquified sugar, as TikTok user Narisa Suzuki demonstrates." - Mona Holmes
"Mentioned alongside other Hollywood clubs where Cody worked for nearly a decade, Derriere figures into the list of venues that shaped his bartending career before he pivoted out of the industry." - Mona Holmes
"This popular tourist complex that anchors Hollywood's visitor core has long been a hub for street food vendors, trinket sellers, and sidewalk performers—known for colorful sidewalk shows and late-night bacon-wrapped hot dogs. City officials have created a 'special enforcement zone' along nearby Hollywood Boulevard and, citing obstructed walkways and crowded sidewalks, council staff together with the Bureau of Street Services and property-owner groups are using a public-property rule (section 56.11) to remove any 'bulky items' that wouldn't fit in a single 60‑gallon container; that standard would effectively preclude traditional food carts selling churros, fruit, and juice drinks. The crackdown has alarmed street-vending activists and vendors, highlights tensions between business interests and informal commerce, and comes as the city still lacks a final framework for vendor legalization amid growing concerns about assaults and robberies targeting vendors, including a high-profile attack on a nearby elote seller." - Farley Elliott
"Channeling 1950s Hollywood glamour, the dining room pairs old-school luxury with a modern, restrained execution under executive chef Johnny Besch. Highlights include a thoroughly modern, deconstructed shrimp cocktail—hefty prawns plated on horseradish panna cotta with spiced-tomato gastrique and lemon confit—and an astounding cauliflower course with perfect texture and a balanced mix of sweet, salty, bitter, spicy and umami notes. Entrées like a beautiful halibut in a spicy kimchi broth and an especially flavorful leg of lamb hold their own, and the meal culminates in theatrical desserts such as an over-the-top hot-fudge brownie sundae and sticky toffee pudding with dulce de leche ice cream." - Jeffy Mai
