Los Angeles - Broadway

General

The original cinemas of previous decades, several of which still serve their original purpose, have become places of entertainment for the growing Hispanic population (known in Los Angeles as "latinos"), with mainly Spanish and Mexican films. Today Broadway has become the main shopping street of the latinos. Consequently it is loud and lively here.

Places of interest

On Broadway you will find the interesting and very reasonable Clifton Cafeteria (608 S.), as well as more cinemas, the oldest of which are the Cameo (528 S.) and the Arcade (534 S.), both built in 1919. The Palace (611 S.) dates from 1913, the Rialto (810 S.) from 1917, and the richly decorated Million Dollar, in which Sid Graumann began his career
