Robertson Boulevard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robertson Boulevard is a street in Los Angeles. The northern part of the street in West Hollywood is a trendy tree-lined shopping district.

Robertson is best known as a recent celebrity hangout. This is partially due to a large influx of unique boutiques and designer clothing stores such as Agnes B, Curve, Lisa Kline, and most famously, Kitson, which is a mecca for many celebrity shoppers. In addition, several popular celebrity infused eateries are on Robertson, such as The Ivy and Newsroom Cafe. The Kabbalah Centre is also located further south on the street.

In addition to being a shopping district, Robertson is a major north-south thoroughfare in central Los Angeles. Its northern end is slightly to the north of Santa Monica Boulevard and its southern end is at Venice Boulevard. The southern portion of Robertson constitutes a historical and upper middle class Jewish community, Beverlywood. Robertson is parallel to La Cienega Boulevard. Alexander Hamilton School, a highly diverse high school, is on the southern end of Robertson.

The Robertson Branch of Los Angeles Public Library is located at 1719 S. Robertson near the intersection of Airdrome.
