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.

It's literally right next to where Smorgasburg is being held, so we spent whatever little time we had there and didn't really explore the rest of ROW DTLA. Though I have to say that I was very surprised that were even still in LA. No graffiti, trash everywhere, smell of human wastes or anything. Very clean, modern, spacious, and calming even with the crowds of people there. Felt like an oasis in LA. Though that comes with the price, seeing the businesses here. Yes they look nice but it's giving hoity toity performative LA folks vibe and I can see why rent to live in LA is so high. Nothing really piqued my interest as a non normie, but I'm sure if you are one or like these kind of non franchise, off label places, for normie looking, better quality clothes, home goods, etc. this is for you.

The payment process is bizarre. Sure, you take a ticket at the entry gate as usual. You don't use it to exit - see below Yes, the escalators don't work and obviously never will. They are used as staircases now, which is bad because the individual steps are much bigger, making it especially tricky to use. There are locked restrooms on P1. Just hope you can find someone to open them. You supposedly need to show that you have a parking ticket. There was a "security" woman sleeping in the office nearby You take elevators up to Pershing Square, so no problems there After returning you go to machines on P1, insert the ticket and payment card to receive another card, which you are supposed to use at the exit gates. You are reminded by many signs that there are no cashiers at the gates. Well, there was a man at the gate I approached. He kept pointing (at what?) and I was eventually told to go to another gate (no reason why), which was staffed by another non-cashier.

Solution: nice security guard saved me: 424 threee oh two 65 one oneeeee! FUCK THIS SHIT. The garage is technically open -- the elevator works and cars can exit via sensor -- but the passenger gate is locked, which makes retrieving a car at night unreasonably difficult. I even spoke to the police, and they suggested I Uber home and return in the morning. That seems like an unfair setup.

They do not say anywhere that they close at midnight! Do not park here. Such an inconvenience!read more

From a decade ago until now, I don't think there was ever that much at this mall. A handful of restaurants, another market, a pretty cheap karaoke place (a plus), and the neat Japanese pottery shop, are all the highlights that this place has. Though I have to admit that the new Hapibara Station with artist goods is a nice touch and I do like that the community is trying to invigorate Little Tokyo by having events here (flea markets, cup sleeve events, K-pop events, etc.). There's validated parking at the attached structure, just be sure to make some purchases and the validation stacks, which is nice.

As for restaurants, food looked geared towards tourists not authentic. I would skip this place for shopping and eating. There is a grocery store in plaza. Sushi prices seemed ok but not sure of quality. There is a parking lot next to plaza for a charge. Some places offer validation. Plus there are metered spots on the street.

The Blue Line stations are not as aesthetically pleasing as many of the newer stations on the newer rail lines, but the platform here is well lit and very visible from the street, etc. Not a lot of riders get on and off here except during rush hours. Not much in the way of destinations, but definitely gets people to and from their jobs in the area. It also gets me to Restaurant Depot for unconventional cooking supplies (like CO2 cartridges.)

It's hard to beat the price for such a prime location. I also really like that they use the Metropolis parking system. No paper tickets, no fumbling at the gate. They scan your license plate on entry and exit, and it automatically charges the credit card you have on file. Super quick and seamless -- perfect for busy mornings when you just want to get in and out without waiting in line. Clean, well-lit, and easy access. Definitely one of my go-to parking spots in DTLA.

The clothes or mostly cheap clubwear, lots of workout gear, and some decent designer knockoffs. Very much reminded me of Canal Street in New York. If you are looking for sexy shoes, look no further!

The Santeria Alley is about 3-4 blocks wide full of local vendors selling clothes,Jewelry, shoes, purses, puppies, perfume, and more. Reasonably priced items, and hard working locals. There are food vendors on every corner, so be sure to grab you a bite to eat. Parking is located in one of the many parking garages or if you get there early, you can snag a spot on the street. This particular visit, the Alley wasn't crowded, and most of the stores weren't open. But I did manage to grab a few body oils as it's hard to come by where i live. I also grabbed a few pieces of jewelry to add to my collection. Every vendor i interacted with was so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back when I'm in town.
