L.A. is a great place to live, but to visit? It’s complicated. You have to navigate a vast expanse of land clogged by standstill traffic and through neighborhoods that can make it seem like you’re hopping from one universe to another. But, if you're game, just think of all you could fit in a single day!Housed in the former American Apparel manufacturing facility, the ROW DTLA is a massive development with offices, restaurants, shops, bars, and events spaces. You'll find some of the most artful bento boxes outside Japan (at Hayato), a sophisticated caffeine fix (at Go Get Em Tiger), and gluten-free karaage (at ). For shopping, there's the homegrown design boutique Poketo, Still Life Ceramics, and legendary sneaker shop Bodega (hidden speakeasy-style behind a false loading dock for an imaginary bodega).
