Few museums – even in LA – can match the grandeur of The Getty. The gardens, angles, landscaping and views are all meticulously laid out. So much so that you could spend a full afternoon simply appreciating the strange beauty of both the 405 and the Pacific Ocean from The Getty’s vantage point. Now, museum-goers… Read More The Getty
Downtown LA always lures me back. At this point, I’ve walked the streets of DTLA so many times I can’t count the miles – but I always find new art, hidden street art, shops and pockets of social commentary to appreciate. LA’s downtown is home to arts and museums districts, the “historic core” (which now has its own… Read More DTLA
These pictures represent a snippet of the DTLA arts district – a blend of funky businesses and industry, restaurants, artists studios and newly renovated lofts – and personality. And, of course, art is EVERYWHERE. 👏🏽🎨👀
I was lucky enough to see a master at work at last night’s DTLA Art Walk. The not-so-usual cast of characters was also there – in all of their amazing, colorful glory.

So, if you love books, live in LA AND HAVE NOT BEEN HERE YET, that’s problematic. From the seemingly 60s and 70s throwback staff to its architecture to the antiquated bag check as you pass over its threshold, The Last Bookstore is something you’ll think was built on sacred land where time stood still. The floor… Read More The Last Bookstore
The Broad has had both positive and negative media coverage. I say: ignore it all and make your own assessment. I can’t imagine any art lover would be disappointed with the collection(s) curated for the Broad’s opening. In addition to the art, the architecture – internally and externally – give The Broad life in a… Read More The Broad
DTLA Walking Tours has expanded its tour offerings to include a “Haunted” walking tour of DTLA, and it’s just in time for the season. Neel, DTLA Walking Tour’s owner and lead tour guide, has done an awesome job of pulling together facts, pictures, historical snippets and a winding path through some of DTLA’s most notorious… Read More Haunted DTLA Walking Tour
