One of the oldest revival houses in the area, the New Beverly began life in the twenties as a vaudeville theater and went through a few more incarnations before emerging as the repertory movie-house it is today. Double features run daily for a set price of seven dollars. A lot of the programming is of the arty European sort, but there’s a fair share of blockbusters and cult favorites (“Raiders of the Lost Ark,” for example) that children will love seeing on a big screen with a packed audience.

When you need to please a wide range of tastes, the Farmers Market is the perfect place to take your children.

Korean BBQ, crepes, New Orleans gumbo, and homemade ice cream are just a few of the incredibly broad range of options to be found. If you’re overwhelmed by too much choice, head to Loteria, renowned for its delicious gourmet interpretations of traditional Mexican dishes like enchiladas and chilaquiles.
