- Mauro’s Cafe (at Fred Segal) on Melrose…frequented by celebrities at lunchtime. Also, just walk around the stores at Fred Segal, many celebrities shop there.
- Barney’s Greengrass (on top of Barney’s department store in Beverly Hills) is another celebrity-frequented lunch spot. Also, walk around the store itself, as I’ve seen a number of celebrities shopping there.
- Robertson Blvd. - check out Kitson, Lisa Kline, and if you can eat dinner at The Ivy, your chances of spotting a celebrity are pretty high.
- Some other restaurants I frequently see celebrities;
- Matsuhisa
- Mr. Chow
- Spago
- Katsuya (either the one in Brentwood or Hollywood)
- Koi
- Il Fornaio
- Nobu (Malibu)

If you do happen to see one out in public, the proper etiquette is to leave them alone. Don’t scream, gush, ask for an autograph, or try to talk to them. Some are nice about it, but you could find yourself quickly removed from the premesis. Most often, they can be spotted dining out, shopping, or doing other mundane things. Many times, they are “dressed down”, wearing jeans, tees, sunglasses, and a hat. I’ve lived here for decades, and don’t see them often at all. Even though I work across the street from Warner Bros. studios, it’s not like I see one regularly.

If you want to try spotting one, try these spots:

Gelson’s Market
Pink’s Hot Dogs
Canter’s Deli
Spago
The Ivey

You can definitely spot a few celebs at Laker games. Especially Jack.

Don’t try to get into one of the nightclubs they hang out in. You’ll never get past the velvet rope unless you have a few Benjamins to throw at the doorman. But if you had that kind of dough, I doubt you would be hanging around this forum.
