Lifestyle

Start your morning with an oat latte and a roasted heirloom tomato scramble at bright and airy Verve Coffee Roasters or grab a cappuccino and fresh bagels to go at The Bread Lounge, right across the street from Warner Music’s Corporate HQ.

For brunch, head to Poppy + Rose for chicken & waffles and rose mojitos or Bottega Louie for smoked salmon benedicts, portobello fries, and outstanding bloody marys.

Take your pooch for a walk around the beautiful, 32-acre Los Angeles State Historic Park, where you can also have a picnic, fly a kite, or catch an outdoor craft festival on the weekends. On Sundays, try some new treats at Smorgasburg, downtown’s weekly outdoor street fair, then spend a chill afternoon relaxing at Grand Park.

The whole family will enjoy bowling and playing arcade games at XLanes and have a blast with the VR games, escape rooms, and robot bartender at Two Bit Circus.

For an adventure higher up, head to the US Bank Tower and take the elevator to its OUE Skyspace, where you can look down over the city while you go down the glass slide.

Dinner can be as simple as street tacos from Sonoratown, as hip as glazed pork shanks and mango margaritas at The Girl and the Goat, or as fancy as steak frites and Bordeaux on the patio at Perch, where you can have a cocktail on the rooftop bar and watch the sun set over the skyline.

There is no shortage of delights to be had in DTLA.
