Enjoy your stay. Don't worry about people telling you that it is too dangerous to get out of your ca in LA. Lol if you live in Texas do not be giving advice on traveling to LA. Ive been here 15 years and have never really had any "uh oh this is unsafe" moments. Including all night warehouse parties on skid row. Yes, there are lots of homeless downtown and surrounding areas. Most of them just mind their business. Some are mentally unstable. Mind you own business and all will be fine. It is a sad situation though.
Here's a few more spots in Downtown:
Hot Beef Dip Sandwiches. Two of the oldest establishments in DTLA both claim they invented the french dip sandwich. Philippe's seems to be somewhat more credited with being the first. But they are both completely amazing.
Philippe's. (Chinatown) -
Usually huge lines around lunch time. Get your sandwich double dipped.
Awesome home made horseradish mustard.
Coles. Right in the heart of downtown. 6th St.
Very old basement restaurant with amazing sandwiches.
In the very back is a hidden Speakeasy bar called The Varnish. Incredible cocktails and ambiance. Sometimes piano players etc.
The art's district downtown is a cool area.
-Wurstkuche - Awesome home made deluxe sausages and german beers on tap. Nice afternoon beer spot.
-Pie Hole....great pies.
-Golden Road Brewery. Good beer and they do brewery tours.
Hauser & Wirth Gallery. Beautiful new gallery and event space. Cool new restaurant inside.
I highly reccomend watching the documentary City Of Gold. It's about LA's premier food critic; Jonathon Gold and his love for LA and it's food. It's on Netflix....check it out. Any of his recomendations are always on point. He won't review a place unless he's eaten there like 10 times and had the whole menu.
