DTLA Arts District Evening
Gallery-hop and street art in the Arts District, then dinner at one of LA's best restaurant corridors. A date for people who like to explore.
The Arts District is the densest concentration of interesting things to look at, talk about, and eat in Los Angeles. This route uses all three.
Why it works
Walking through the murals and galleries gives you shared experiences to talk about over dinner. The neighborhood is compact enough to explore on foot, and the restaurant options range from casual to truly special.
Your route
Arts District walk and gallery browse
Start at the corner of 3rd and Traction. Walk east along the murals and duck into any open gallery or studio. The Hauser & Wirth courtyard is free and impressive.
Pre-dinner drink
Angel City Brewery for craft beer in a converted warehouse, or a cocktail at one of the neighborhood bars.
Dinner
The corridor from Bestia to Bavel to Manuela has some of the best restaurants in LA. Pick one that matches your budget and reserve ahead.
Walk to the 6th Street Viaduct for city views at night, or catch a late show at a nearby venue.
If galleries are closed, Grand Central Market is a 10-minute drive and works for browsing and eating in one stop.
