Dover Street Market Los Angeles
The super trendy DSM has finally opened in LA. Compared to the one in NYC, this one has more of LA's own style. The multi-story design is replaced by multiple compartments. In addition to Rei Kawakubo's own brand, there are plenty of other trendy brands as well.
Two Bit Circus Micro Amusement Park
An amusement park suitable for all ages, with many arcade and VR games, even private rooms for families. The atrium is a lounge where you can drink beer, chat, and entertain the kids.

Urban Radish
Compared to Whole Foods, Urban Radish has a stronger urban vibe, featuring an industrial style, simplicity, and eco-friendliness. The dining area at the entrance has a strong community feel.
Resident
Outdoor + Indoor Hybrid Bar + Performance Venue, with music performances every week.
Urth Caffé
The famous Urth Caffé is always crowded, but it doesn't feel cramped. I like their organic vegetables, but the coffee is just average.
The Squad Boys and Girls Club
Mainly sells unisex clothing accessories, probably hasn't been open for long, small and easy to miss.
Arts District Co-op
Next to Squad, inside there are many pop-up stores. This kind of space seems to be increasingly common both domestically and internationally. There is a Rotelli bicycle shop inside that I really like.
Hughes Estate Sales
I bought some old items from their store, although not from this branch. I recently discovered that there is one in the Arts District. Make sure to check the opening hours before you go.
Lot Stock and Barrel
Located in a small courtyard, the items sold here are not cheap, but they are quite stylish, with many vintage jeans.
Arts District Brewing Company
Tired from walking? Have a drink. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available. This bar is quite interesting. Besides brewing beer, it also has a mini restaurant, arcade games, and ping pong tables. If you don't want to drink, you can get a German sausage from the place diagonally opposite.
Apolis: Common Gallery
The philosophy of this fashion store is very similar to Guruin, which is to let everyone live a better life. Apolis means Global Citizen.
House of Woo
The storefront is inconspicuous and not on the main street, but it is a very fresh and elegant shop. I have seen a few such stores in Taipei.
