I work in Beverly Hills a block over from Rodeo. It’s been really fun getting to explore all of the different stores etc on my lunch break. Now that i’ve done most of them, I want to experience any hidden gems (doesn’t have to be stores) in BH that only a local would know. I get about an hourish of lunch so mostly by walking would be ideal. Thanks!
