Everything Else
A new plaza with Golds Gym, Target, H&M, Zara, CPK, and many other shops as well as an AMAZING food court. I know Food Court may not sound great, but the options inside are all amazing in my opinion.

Parks & Nature
The newest park added to DTLA. Not much shade there, but a nice change of pace for the area. During the summer they host cool flea markets and live music in the park.

This park is not in Downtown area, but it is one of our bigger and better parks here in LA. Its the home of The Greek Theatre, The Obervatory, several hiking trails, and also can lead you up to the HOLLYWOOD sign (if the right trail is taken)
