Around Pico-Union
The homes and duplexes on and around Bonnie Brae Street offer some classic examples of century-old Los Angeles architecture. Most units in Pico-Union are in large apartment complexes, however. Remember that downtown is directly to your east, past the convention center. Parking and noise levels are better on the west side of the neighborhood.
Many of Los Angeles' most authentic examples of international cuisine can be found in Pico-Union. In addition to the standard Cali-Mex options, you'll find real gems like Guatemalan bakeries and Argentinian steakhouses. The area also has some wonderful Korean food spilled over from Koreatown to the north.
You are likely to see families enjoying the nice weather, food trucks, and street carts selling popsicles almost year-round. Shoppers scour the local thrift stores and consignment shops looking for deals on vintage furniture and clothing. Visitors stop by the local restaurants before seeing shows at L.A.

Pico-Union also has some traditional night clubs and concert venues. On the whole though, it's a family-centric scene.
Walk down Olympic, Pico, or Venice Boulevard and hop between the food trucks, vintage shops, and bars to take in the local vibe. When you hear live music that sounds good, go with the flow and check it out. Parking is tough and Pico-Union is extremely dense, so it's best to make this a walking tour.
Breakfast burritos from your local corner taco shop, then walk to Terrace Park and relax in some shade. Grab some bacon-wrapped hot dogs for a late lunch or just maybe some watermelon agua fresca to cool off.
