My favorite museum, EVER! If you enjoy contemporary art, The Broad Musuem is a must see. In addition to the stunning architecture, the collection features over 2,000 works of art by late 20th Century artists such as Warhol, Basquiat, Kruger, Raushenberg, and more. Free general admission and totally worth the trip. Don't miss Disney Hall while you are in the area. Have a meal nearby at Grand Central Market.

Grand Central market, a downtown landmark since 1917, brings together the cuisines and cultures of LA and is a great choice for a meal before or after a trip to the museum. My "go to" food venue is Olio Wood Fire pizzeria, but there are several other great options to choose from such as Wexler's Deli, Egg Slut (looks good but I've never tried it) and Sticky Rice. If you have a sweet tooth don't miss Valerie Confections or McConnell's Fine Ice Cream. Foodies have been raving about McConnell's for decades. Don't miss popping in to see the stunning interior of the Bradbury Bldg. across the street. There is a parking structure next to the market with cheap parking ($3). Enter from Hill St
