Take a revealing drive down Sunset Boulevard through West Hollywood, the Sunset Strip, and Sunset Plaza to see the growing number of vacant storefronts, shuttered restaurants, abandoned buildings, and former Hollywood institutions that once helped make this one of the most famous streets in America.
Along the route, we look at the changing face of the Sunset Strip and revisit businesses that have closed in recent years, including Le Petit Four after 44 years, Chin Chin after more than 40 years, The Den on Sunset, Rock & Reilly’s, and Tesse. We also pass locations tied to legendary Sunset Boulevard landmarks that are now gone, including Tower Records, the original House of Blues Sunset Strip, which closed in 2015, and The Standard Hollywood, which permanently closed in 2021.
From rows of FOR LEASE signs and empty restaurants to properties waiting for their next chapter, this 4K tour reveals what Sunset Boulevard looks like today, and asks whether the legendary Sunset Strip can ever regain the energy and nightlife that made it famous.
