Once a dirt road, the 1.5-mile stretch of Wilshire Boulevard we call “Miracle Mile” is now home to iconic institutions like the LA County Museum of Art (LACMA), the La Brea Tar Pits and the Screen Actors Guild / AFTRA. Though it was originally designed as a commercial district catering to customers in cars, today a 15-minute walk takes you by Museum Row, bustling restaurants and Art Deco treasures. The development continues with major construction on museums, additional renovations and the Metro Purple Line Extension.
Contemporary art without attitude.
This light-filled, airy café offers a nice respite from the commotion of Wilshire. For a low-key lunch, grab a tasty farm-to-table sandwich on fresh bread. C+M also has amazing coffee and espresso (Intelligentsia), and seasonal pastries that you’ll remember all year long. Take an outdoor seat in the vast museum plaza to soak up some sun. For an extraordinary treat, try an organic “Milk Handshake” with a nip of some artisanal spirits.
