5 Design Things to Do in July

A+R and ROW DTLA reopens! Rose Apodaca, the fast-talking, walking style encyclopedia, and her partner Andy Griffith own the curated design store A+R. They were among pioneer retailers in ROW DTLA, the shopping and dining destination in converted, century old warehouses and manufacturing buildings. Like every store in town, they had to close up during the pandemic and are now gingerly reopening, with by appointment access, Monday thru Saturday, from 11am to 6pm. Their neighbors at ROW DTLA are opening too. ROW DTLA, which feels vaguely like a sunny, Soho-lite (albeit self-contained and you drive to get there), is always pleasant to walk around and window shop. CDC- and City of LA-recommended safety protocols are in effect throughout.
