Founded in 1781, the oldest of all the L.A. neighborhoods, Downtown Los Angeles also seems to be the newest because of the accelerated urban revitalization and rapidly growing skyline. While we're living and working here, we are witness to Downtown's second golden age, revealing cultural shifts, design cues and typography trends reminiscent of the city's first golden age in city living, speakeasies, sign painting, craft cocktails, public transit and more.
Pizza that tastes like New Orleans.
It's like a visual candy store for designers, and well literally, a candy store for everyone else.
The contemporary design of the space inside the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels is amazing, but we love the outdoor areas of the complex so much more. Spanish architect José Rafael Moneo designed the main structure (third largest cathedral in the world) and serves as a great backdrop to an alfresco square surrounded by gardens, a fountain, a shop, an eatery, and a playground. A walkway framed by etched angel windows overlooking the 101 freeway completes our religious devotion to Los Angeles.
