Especially on the city’s well-known street, Miracle Mile, a shopping and dining destination offering a little bit of everything to everyone. Maybe it’s the lively environment buzzing with visitors. Maybe it’s the delicious smells wafting out of the different restaurants as you walk past them. Or, maybe, just maybe, it’s the fact that being in the area makes you feel like anything is possible.
