Americana at Brand

The people behind the Grove opened this outdoor mall in 2008, bringing some top-notch retailers -- and a touch of Vegas -- to the Valley. There's a Barneys New York Co-Op, H&M, Kitson, Calvin Klein, Sur La Table, and Kate Spade for shopping; an 18-screen movie theater; and restaurants like Katsuya and Frida Mexican Cuisine. During the summer, Good Humor men sell ice-cream treats from old-fashioned trucks; during the winter holidays, there's a nightly fake snowfall to get people in the spirit. It looks pretty much like soapy suds, but for those Angelenos who've never seen snow, it does the trick.
