7 Postcards
ROW DTLA is a vibrant hub of shops, eateries, and offices in a chic, repurposed American Apparel factory, perfect for shopping and weekend lounging.
"Almost like a fairytale, this locally-sourced food hidden gem is situated in a lush alleyway between two buildings on Industrial. Ivy covers the walls, bricks line the walkway. Be sure to sit outside! Order the Guildsmith sandwich for a plate of baked cheese goodness and spicy pesto, or the Farmer's sandwich for more roasted vegetables and spicy guacamole than you thought could fit between two slices of olive bread. Of course, they have salads and sides, too, but who can order anything more beautiful than those two sandwiches? We dare you." - verynice
"AAPI LA hosts its annual market with food vendors like Beard Papa’s, Nam Coffee, The Ugly Bao, and Unreal Poke." - Rebecca Roland
"The ROW has helmed the flourishing Arts District for years, but hits a new high with forthcoming hotels and galleries."
"COVID-19 update: Open for in-store shopping and curbside pickup depending on the business—please check ahead of your visit. There’s no way to grasp the size and scope of ROW DTLA without seeing it in person, so we won’t attempt to describe this massive conglomerate of industrial structures as anything but WOW. What we can put into words is the impressive the curation of places to eat, shop, work, and just chill. A sampling of restaurants includes San Francisco’s Tartine Manufactory, Japanese food at Hayato (order a bento box), and the flakiest, crunchiest Japanese fried chicken we’ve ever had at chef Kuniko Yagi’s Pikunico. Stores are focused on locally owned businesses, like Erica Tanov, Kinto, Ahlem, and Bodega—arguably the most well-stocked sneaker store in the city. On weekends, the streets are closed off to cars, leaving ample space for kids to shake the willies out. On Sundays, Smorgasburg LA takes over ROW DTLA’a neighbor, the Alameda Produce Market. COVID-19 disclaimer: We are working hard to keep our listings as up to date as possible (deliveries, outdoor dining, etc.), but given the evolving nature of local COVID-19 restrictions, we recommend double-checking the information in this guide with any business you plan on visiting. Also, please note that we have not vetted any businesses listed within our guides for their compliance with applicable safety regulations."
"M. Georgina now sits in its happy home that is The Row DTLA, a sprawling shopping mall conglomerate comprised of 65 restaurants and shops, pop-ups and Chad Robertson and Elisabeth Prueitt’s gargantuan The Manufactory." - Abbe Baker
