Retail Therapy: How to Navigate L.A.’s Best Shopping Neighborhoods

The Arts District was once known as an industrial hub crawling with manufacturing warehouses, but this quirky neighborhood has since transformed into one of downtown’s top dining and shopping destinations. Row DTLA operates as its own community entirely, featuring an abundance of high-end restaurants and boutiques behind iron gates and concrete walls. Explore some of the most exclusive vintage finds at Arcade before finding your new favorite perfume at Scent Bar. If you’re in the market for a new hat, head to celebrity-loved Gladys Tamez, or stock up on new home goods at Joybird. In between stores, sit down for a slice at Pizzeria Bianco or hang out until dinnertime for a more formal, Michelin-starred meal at Kato.
