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.
On Wednesday afternoons, this open-air market and food bazaar is where the lunch crowd goes for diverse offerings like pierogi, poke, grilled cheese and tamales. You can grab bottles of fresh-pressed organic juice and sheep’s milk yogurt in flavors like wood apple, dill and carrot. Located in front of TV network offices and directly across from the SAG/AFTRA building, it’s worthy of a midday walk.
