Getting Around
At the 7th St/Metro Center you can transfer to other train lines (Ex. take the Metro blue EXPO line to Pico which takes you to the Staples Center) or exit at 7th St/Metro Center and check out 7th & Fig shopping center and restaurants. Macy's is also located at this stop (keep in mind, Macy's is under construction; however, still open for business).

There's a bar inside and an upscale (but not stuffy) restaurant surrounding the patio overlooking downtown L.A. Sometimes there's a live band playing. One floor above is the roof top lounge and bar which is very chill with nice seating and fire pits with a beautiful view of downtown.

Everything under the sun is right here in one place. Some of my favorites are, Egg Slut (beware of the long line like all day), Sticky Rice - Thai food, this Ice Cream spot directly across from the Thai place, Bombo - try the Paella! and sooooo much more.

Amazing Italian food tucked away in a small laid back hole in the wall restaurant. My favorite thing is the ravioli stuffed with pumpkin!

It's in little Tokyo, right next to downtown. Really good Mediterranean street food....Doner Kebab wraps and baskets. There's usually cool music playing and the place has artsy decor and vibe. You can play games at the table while you eat.
