Brentwood, the affluent but laid-back neighborhood,  is home to numerous stars – Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have a home there – and an amazing concentration of sophisticated Italian restaurants; Phillip Starck-designed Katsuya offers Japanese fare. Brentwood Country Mart, at San Vicente Boulevard and 26^th Street, offers casual dining and boutiques including James Perse. But the biggest draw is nearby Getty Center, a spectacular travertine-clad hilltop museum featuring European art from the Middle Ages to the present. Richard Meier designed the buildings, Robert Irwin the contemporary Central Garden.
