A Day in Downtown
-
Morning
Begin your day with the historic El Pueblo, which will take you back to the city’s vibrant Mexican and Spanish past. Browse colorful Olvera Street for authentic crafts and food, and then cross Alameda Street for a close-up of the grand Union Station.
Next, go west along Cesar Chavez Boulevard, before turning right on Broadway for a stroll through exotic Chinatown and a superb dim sum lunch at the Empress Pavilion .
Afternoon
Ride the DASH bus “B” from Broadway to Temple Street, dominated by the new Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. After admiring Rafael Moneo’s Modernist masterpiece, head south along Grand Avenue, past the Music Center and the Walt Disney Concert Hall to check out the latest exhibits at the MOCA.
Stroll down Bunker Hill Steps , stopping to gaze at “Source Figure,” Robert Graham’s exquisite sculpture and the Central Library . Walk to Pershing Square , lorded over by the baronial Millennium Biltmore , a nice place for tea or coffee. Leave in time to make it to the Victorian Bradbury Building before 5pm. Browse for treasures in the bountiful aisles of the Grand Central Market.
To get back to El Pueblo, board DASH bus “D” on Spring Street, changing to “B” at Temple Street.
