So I just made the move to DOWNTOWN LA...

[tee eye ehm]

coming down straight from the bay area. I posted up in General about it, but didnt get too many answers. So I just moved to DTLA, and I dont start work untilnext week. My girl is going to FIDM and will be busy with school and internships all week until at least 9pm. What the hell is there to do around downtown? Im gonna be bored as hell! LA folks help me out!

Here is the pic I posted in General of my living room:

Well, since you're living downtown(kudos to you btw), you can h it up LA LIve, that outdoor section right across the street from Staples Center.
And, you're not too far from Dodger's stadium either, so you might want to catch a few games.

Downtown is central to almost everything in LA. People watching in Melrose or Silverlake is always good. Check out the MOCA, eat at Full House in Chinatown........ seriously you're choices are endless.

Hit up RIFLA, assuming ur a sneakerhead, ummmmm roll around make friends with strangers

 

[flipjoint23]

hit up lil tokyo!
RIF and The archrival

check out blends and m'ouments at 125 west fourth street. it's in the old bank district, so there is some cool architecture and scenery.

Nice spot, getting used to the traffic yet?

Like everyone mentioned, you'll have plenty of options and you'll find a lot of things to do living in downtown LA since you're centralized to alot of spots. You'll just have to start getting familiar to the area.

I'm assuming you're walking distance to LA live so you can hit up that place for food, drinks, and concerts. Nokia Theatre and Club Nokia are both nicevenues to catch a concert.

For shopping, you can hit up Melrose and Beverly Center.

For nightlife, you're down the street from Elevate Lounge and The Standard hotel. Or you can make the drive to Hollywood Blvd. for the more trendy clubs.

Bottega Louie is AMAZING and is the most popular restaurant downtown. You need to go there for sure. Bring your lady. Thank me later.

You have a lot of options depending on what you want to do.

- Little Tokyo
- Olvera Street "La Placita"
- LA Live
- Chinatown
- Melrose/Hollywood area
- Pasadena (Colorado Blvd.)
- Silverlake area

Congrats. Looks like you hooked up your apt proper.

You're centrally located and close to a lot of things. LA's huge... try to check out different areas. There's a scene for everybody out here.
