Downtown Los Angeles Essentials

Los Angeles 101: A day filled with sightseeing and all the quintessential LA restaurants in 24 hours. Over the last decade, Downtown Los Angeles (endearingly referred to as DTLA by Angelenos) has become one of the most eclectic food scenes in the country, celebrating diversity and satisfying the palates of discerning locals who have had the privilege of being exposed to a smorgasbord of ethnic cuisines their entire lives. We’ve also included some local gems that only insiders know, like a small sushi joint in the corner of Little Tokyo Market and the restaurant where the French Dip Sandwich originated, complete with a hidden whiskey bar and live music. LA nightlife dies down around 1:00am, giving you plenty of time to keep the fun going at one of the local breweries or iconic family-owned pie shops just five minutes from the downtown Arts District.
