Burbank & Studio City
Where the magic gets made — backlots, water towers, and Bob's Big Boy at midnight.
Burbank, Universal City, and Studio City form the working heart of Hollywood. This isn't the Walk of Fame — it's where the trucks load in, where the writers eat lunch, where the water towers actually hold water. This hunt threads the publicly accessible edges of the studios with the diners, theaters, and side streets that the industry actually runs on.
