Slightly underwhelming tour of fascinating area - I was a little disappointed by this tour. I was expecting to go away having understood more about how and why this area developed into such a fascinating cultural melting pot of creatives - but instead it felt like a random collection of slightly obscure facts about buildings we walked past (e.g. Anderson Cooper lives here, Jeff Goldblum liked to eat at the restaurant, the character Phoebe from Friends lived here etc)
