Visit Amoeba Music in Hollywood to explore a vast selection of music media, from vinyls to CDs, and discover unique merchandise like vintage tees and posters.

Record Shopping

✅ Before you go
• it’s right on Hollywood Boulevard, so definitely recommend ubering! Otherwise, parking on Argyle or Selma might be easiest 🚗

Head to Amoeba Music

So my brother got me a record player for Christmas.

And while I love listening to the one Taylor Swift vinyl that I own,

I thought it might finally be time to head down the street to Amoeba

Music which takes the cake as the greatest record store here in Hollywood.

You can get every type of music device, modality or merch here.

And every time I visit, I find entirely new sections,

there are vintage Tees, posters, books, cds, cassettes, vinyls, Funko pops

and so much more. Personally, I'm balling on a budget

So I hit up the clearance section where I found

these incredible records for just a dollar each! afterwards.

I decided to search for my favorite OG album,

The Gogos Beauty and the Beat which I can now proudly say I've owned in every format.

I hope you're able to find some old friends or new gems just like

this Diet Cig album I picked up just because I loved the cover art.

If you’re wondering what I’m up to on Sunday mornings…this is an ideal day-in-the-life. Going to the Silverlake Flea and looking at all the cool things to buy is already therapeutic…but then hitting up Stories afterwards? This is such a dynamic duo and the perfect thing for a cute solo date. 

Here's your plan for leisurely browsing the Silverlake Flea, then relaxing with books at Stories bookstore

Chill Morning in Echo Park!

Hunt for unique vintage finds and handcrafted goodies at Silverlake Flea, a bustling open-air market perfect for leisurely browsing on a Sunday morning.

Flea Market Shopping

✅ Before you go
• The market happens on Fridays from 10 am to 3:30 pm  /  Saturdays from 8:30 am to 3:30  pm / Sundays from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm

• Parking is TERRIBLE in this area. As much as I want to give you guidance here it’s definitely a “may the odds be ever in your favor” type of vibe…for this reason I recommend showing up on the earlier side so you have the best shot at getting a spot 

💪 Pro tips
• Bring a tote bag to put your flea market finds in! A lot of the vendors don’t have shopping bags available

Roam Around the Flea

Stories in Echo Park is a charming café-bookstore with a cozy patio, perfect for browsing books or relaxing after a morning out. Ideal for solo or quiet afternoons.

• Again…parking is super tricky in this area. 

💪 Pro tips

This is my ideal Sunday morning solo date.

which is a super popular flea market in East LA.

I like coming here because I always find really cool,

And then when I'm done prancing around the flea market,

there's a really cute cafe bookstore that's like a 5 minute walk called Stories.

They always have really cool books and cool stuff to just look at.

there's nothing like a good flea market & bookstore combo

which I think is key to a beautiful solo Sunday.
