Sunset Boulevard

Sunset Boulevard is a street in Los Angeles County, California that reaches from downtown Los Angeles to Pacific Coast Highway along the Pacific Ocean near Malibu. In between, it passes through or near Echo Park, Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, UCLA, Brentwood and Pacific Palisades. The best-known section of Sunset Boulevard is probably the Sunset Strip.

The street (approximately 22 miles long) used to be longer, but the easternmost portion of Sunset Blvd. (from Interstate 110 to Mission Road) was renamed Cesar Chavez Avenue in honor of the late Mexican-American union leader.

Landmarks of Sunset Boulevard include—in absolutely no order at all—the Chateau Marmont, Rock 'n' Roll Ralphs and the Rock Walk, Crossroads of the World, the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Viper Room, the Whiskey-a-Go-Go nightclub, the Cinerama Dome, several movie studios—including the historic KCET studios, William S. Hart Park, a Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles (technically on Gower, but close enough), the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine, the Hollywood Palladium, the Hotel Bel-Air, Book Soup, Tiki Ti, the Standard Hotel and Will Rogers State Historic Park.

There is also a movie and a musical named for the street.
