A Tourist’s Guide to Studio City’s Hidden Gems

Studio City, California, is known as the “Jewel of the Valley” for a reason: It’s populated with Hollywood stars, full of beautiful boutiques, great restaurants, and it offers dozens (maybe hundreds) of things to do within a short radius.

 But, as much fun as it is to discuss the big attractions like Universal Studios, the CityWalk, and the celebrity-filled Farmer’s Market, it can be even more fun to visit the obscure and funky spots located off the beaten path. Before you do, stop at WHTC LA for your pick of top-quality weed and plan a day exploring Studio City’s hidden gems.

Gallery1988

This isn’t your typical stuffy art museum. Gallery1988 opened in 2004 as the first pop-culture-focused art gallery in the world. It’s also a place to find emerging artists before they rise to stardom. It’s not quite a secret, because some of the most famous people in the world visit it regularly. It is, however, a great place to spend the day enjoying some trippy art.

Amir’s Garden

This beautiful ornamental garden offers plenty of shade and places to relax. Over thirty years ago, Amir Dialameh set out on a mission to provide shade to this once barren landscape. Now, everyone gets to benefit from the fruits of his and countless other volunteers’ labor.
