Downtown Los Angeles is the central business district of Los Angeles, California, located close to the geographic center of the metropolitan area. Due to city planning of the 1950's and 1960's, the sprawling, multi-centered megacity is such that its downtown core is often considered just another district like Hollywood or Venice, even though it is home to the city and county governments and the region's tallest skyscrapers.

About this place:

The downtown area of Los Angeles, is one of the weirdest, desolate, sad and cold downtowns in the world. LA is a great city, but if you get caught downtown after sunset, the best thing to do is leave. Although I have heard that it is about to undergo some serious gentrification. There are already some chic bars and clubs popping up.

    Some people had "urban angst" - not knowing how to deal with downtowns. During the day, LA is a typical busy city. After dark, the markets and financial district shut down and the restaurants and clubs open. Head to Little Tokyo for the best cheap food around. Second Thursdays, the galleries have evening hours. Try the new restaruants getting ready to move into the gentrified buildings.

    It's cool!
