Updated: December 31, 2008
With beloved old-schoolers like Landis General Store and French newcomers like Lux, Larchmont's leafy street is a hodgepodge of ladies who lunch and movie folks who shop. With rents on the rise and small businesses under stress, now's a good time to hit this 'hood and see how the influx of cool is shaking up L.A.'s sweetest street.

Lux
Write a review143 N Larchmont Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90004 (map)
"As hard as it was not to select Noni for its incredible lines and accessories, I really think Lux is one of the chicest stores I've been to lately. Especially considering how mini it is. The bags, shoes and jewelry designed by Jacquie Aiche are all super-cool, the price points are not totally insane, and the French staff is delightful. They had me at 'Bonjour.'" --Cadien Clark

"When I first moved back to SoCal from a long stint in the Midwest, this was one of my go-to spots for Saturday morning breakfast. I still love the quaint charm of the place, even when the French guys are sounding off to one another and I can hardly make a move because the tables are crammed so closely. The eggs Florentine and blueberry pancakes are fabulous." -- Mar Yvette
