In the 3rd episode of our Hooray for Hollywood series, Kim wraps up the right side of Hollywood Boulevard at Universal Studios Florida with a deep dive into the final stretch of facades—including Ralphs Grocery, Café Montmartre, the iconic Pantages Theater, and Café La Bamba. Discover the Hollywood legends behind these buildings, the stories etched into their plaques, and how Universal has lovingly recreated them for guests to enjoy.
Whether it’s mannequins in a vintage makeup shop or a fountain raising funds for Give Kids The World, there’s more to these buildings than meets the eye. Join us as we celebrate the detail, charm, and legacy tucked into every corner.
