Ultimate Guide to L.A.: Where Apple TV+ Characters Hang Out in Los Angeles

If you’re a fan of the Apple TV+ hit “The Studio,” you know that the characters are constantly navigating the high-pressure world of Continental Studios. But when they do manage to break free from their crazy schedules, they offer viewers a peek into the sardonic yet affectionate side of Los Angeles. It’s a place where dreams can come true, as long as you avoid getting stuck on the 405 during rush hour, which seems to be all day, every day.

The show’s creators, Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, describe L.A. as a wild and crazy place filled with ambitious and creative people. They paint the city as a magical and artistic haven for those looking to share their creative energy with the world.

So, how do the characters of “The Studio” channel that creative energy during their downtime in the City of Angels? Let’s take a look at some insider tips from the Emmy-nominated actors themselves, including Ike Barinholtz, Kathryn Hahn, Catherine O’Hara, and Seth Rogen.

Starting with Ike Barinholtz’s character, Sal Saperstein, the creative exec at Continental Studios and a divorced dad who’s trying to navigate the new sensibilities of Hollywood. Sal calls the Hollywood Hills his home because, well, it has “Hollywood” in the name, and he still believes it’s the place to be if you’re super successful and single. Who needs a backyard or space for kids when you’re living the bachelor life?

Sal’s last concert at the Hollywood Bowl was with a much younger actress to see Imagine Dragons, which he didn’t exactly enjoy. When it comes to fashion, Sal rocks Tim Robbins’ Armani suits from “The Player,” slightly oversized and all. He’s a big fan of Nordstrom, where he loves to splurge on earth-toned clothing.

For a date night, Sal’s go-to spot is Sunset Tower, although he’s currently on the outs with San Vicente Bungalows for making his date put a sticker over her phone camera. After a heated debate with the maître d’, they finally allowed her to take it off, leading to a frenzy of celebrity photos. Needless to say, Sal’s relationship with the establishment isn’t the best at the moment.
