With it being summer, I wanted to avoid the desert heat at the Cabazon Outlets, so I decided to…read moremake the drive to the Citadel Outlets instead and honestly, I'm so glad I did. I originally came with the intention of just relaxing and window shopping... you know how that goes. Somehow, those are always the shopping trips where you find the best deals. I ended up leaving with way more than I planned, including a bunch of cute clothes and new shoes. Can we also talk about the lululemon outlet? Where have these deals been hiding?! It was such an unexpected gem, and I found so many pieces I loved. Another thing I appreciated was how easy everything felt. Parking was simple, walking around the outlets was stress-free, and the overall atmosphere was much more relaxed than I expected for an LA shopping center. If you're looking for a fun shopping day without melting in the summer heat, I'd definitely recommend making the trip. Just be warned... if you tell yourself you're "only window shopping," you're probably going home with shopping bags.

Prepare for hot weather too: sunglasses and hat.

I've been here several times to eat at some of the restaurants. Parking is plentiful. You can spend an entire day here browsing the stores, watching a movie, and grabbing a bite to eat.

Refer to the pic I posted. As soon as you enter it's on the right hand side. They have bread, flans, jello, fruit. I came in and looked at the bread and there was A HUGE FLY INSIDE where the bread was at!! It was flying super slow like it had been in there for a while. I told one of the girls and she dare give me attitude because I told her there was a fly in there!! She said "what else did you need" I said "nothing else! Just need you to take care of this!" And she said okay. I walked away and went to other little stores. As I was leaving I looked to see if she got rid of the bread and the bread was in there still. Same one as when I told her to get rid of the fly. All she did was get rid of the fly and she left the tainted bread in there!!!! Disgusting!!! This is people's health ya'll are playing with!!! Not okay and never going back there. People pay $$ for edible food , and these establishments just don't gaf. I told everyone I know about my experience so they can be aware!! As for other restaurants here, it's always a hit or miss!!! Not coming back!!!

I'm kind of a regular at ROW DTLA so about time I write a review. You can find me often at…read moreSmorgasburg on Sundays! The big food festival that happens every week is what initially brought me to the Row and there is so much to discover there. I also often come here to charge my Tesla ~ charging on Level 5. The Row opened almost 10 years ago on the edge of Arts District and is spread across 30 acres. As mentioned with the charging, they do have a parking garage which is really nice when coming here. And it's a nice garage, well kept and clean, free for 2 hours with validation. You never need to worry about parking when you come here! Like much of Arts District, it's kind of industrial chic vibes. It's an open-air spot with just lovely landscaping and seating all around. There are some excellent food options like Pikunico and Hayato, as well as Go Get Em Tiger for coffee needs. Very cool stores including concept spots and trendy clothing shops. And i'm def getting my next tattoo at Nonfromseoul. Aside from the brick & mortar shops and restaurants and weekly Sunday Smorgasburg, I've been to some other smaller cultural fests & pop ups here. It's always trendy and cute at ROW DTLA!

I really want to give this place 5 stars but I think with its current iteration it isn't quite…read morethere yet only because there's so much space that needs businesses to come in. That being said, ROW DTLA is a dreamscape when it comes to filming content and just catching city vibes in a safe space. Located near the Arts District this space of buildings used to be utilized for the textile industry. With multi floored buildings creating rows of foot traffic on the ground this space is perfect for events, pop ups, and get togethers. It's one of the reasons why Smorgasburg is held here on Sundays. It's why on any given weekend there may be an event being held, whether it be to celebrate AAPI month or the different creatives in the area. This space is filled with homegrown businesses and unique shops to visit. One of my favorite places is Hightide which is a Japanese stationary and supplies shop. The vibes are immaculate and walking in really feels like being in a store in Japan. Another popular space is Scent Bar for those who love perfume and are aromaphiles. With plenty of small curated artists being featured in this apothecary of aromas, Scent Bar is a nice stop whilst visiting the Row. If you're looking for interesting and discussion worthy furniture A+R is a must, located at one of the ends of the Row. For good coffee with artistic vibes you got to check out GGET (Go Get Em Tiger). Next to that if you're looking for stronger waters is Flask & Field with smaller batch and independent distilleries and crafters. All of this and the parking is free for the first 2 hours. In LA, that's unheard of! And it's a large parking structure with modern infrastructure. Blessed. With all this, hopefully ROW DTLA will continue to grow with more businesses and still retain its charm as time marches forward. Good for a short stay or half a day, if you're looking for things to do in LA proper, ROW DTLA is worth your drive.

I can easily see this being a must go to place once all the commercial spaces are full. A few spots already open are COSM, Cinepolis Luxury Theatre, out door bar with food in the middle of the food court, JD shoes, ICONIX GYM, and a few others. The service is good at all the businesses except Cinepolis Luxury Theatre, they have their own issues to fix with service quality. The prices are specific to each business and seem to be fair for the service and experience you receive. I'm really excited to see what this marketplace will become once it's fully opened.

Long before social media, discount stores (like Dollar Tree, Big Lots, DDs, etc) you could go to your local swapmeet in LA and get all of things you needed along with barter a price if it was priced outside of your budget! Those days are long gone and it's looking dismal inside. There were several tattoo, gold jewelry and t shirt options and a beauty supply store with few places selling clothing items. It's LA nostalgia for me so I couldn't lend a low rating because I still like that it's still standing and helping the local community and entrepreneurs.
