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 Rooftop Bar at The Standard Hotel is one of those places that makes you feel like you're on top of the world. It's one of our all time faves. The rooftop, well, at least 270 degrees of it, is flanked by a gorgeous skyscape of Downtown, which makes you forget about the overpriced cocktails and dealing with the crazy drunks. But hey, with this view, it's tolerable. Then throw in bikini girls at the pool, waterbed pods, astroturf, ping pong and a biergarten and now you've got a great bar.
