Located in Los Angeles, The Grove is a beautiful sight to see. This outdoor mall has a variety of shops, restaurants, and a theater. Some stores include Anthropologie, Banana Republic, a three-floor Barnes and Nobles (OMG!), and the only Topshop (Topman) in California. The Grove holds fun events during the year, including a beautiful Christmas tree and illusions of falling “snow” during the holidays. This is a definite place to hang out with friends while at UCI!
