Arts District
About
The Arts District, on the east edge of Downtown near the LA River, was warehouses and factories until artists started moving in during the '70s. The old buildings now hold cafés, restaurants, breweries, galleries and design shops, with murals on tons of walls. Hauser & Wirth and Row DTLA are here; it's best for a daytime walk and street photography.
Jasmine says
Every coffee shop looks like a design show,
every building deliberately looks unfinished.
Warehouses, murals, galleries and very expensive rent:
the Arts District is the corner of DTLA that poses hardest,
but it really does pose well.
Have a meal at Bestia, see a show at Hauser & Wirth,
then a matcha einspänner.
Every coffee shop is a design show; every building looks unfinished on purpose.
