Shopping in SoCal: Century City

A few years back Westfield Shopping Center's Century City was a snoozy little mall, pretty much a second-hand or third-hand stop after the Beverly Center and anything along Rodeo Drive. But we used to frequent it because a) it was close to our apartment; b) it had a Bloomingdale's and a Macy's and c) no one was ever there, meaning parking was a cinch.

Alas, this is not true anymore. Century City went under a huge renovation last year (parts of it are still undergoing changes) unveiling a brand-spanking new AMC theater, a modern trendy food court (no Auntie Anne's Pretzels here) and in addition to all the mall staples, a slew of cool new stores like an Apple Store, The Container Store, and most recently, a hip new hangout/restaurant called Pink Taco. (The other location is in the Hard Rock in Las Vegas.) And yes, this is still considered a family center.

Parking gets pretty tricky on the weekends but the good news is that it's free for the first three hours.
