L.A Crawl - The Broad
To celebrate CNY, we decided to take grandma out again. This time, we started our day at Perch LA for brunch, then we would visit The Broad.
The Pearch LA, a rooftop restaurant located at the historic Pershing Square area, is LA chic at its best. The Broad, a non-profit organization and art conservatory founded by entrepreneur Eli Broad, is a architecture eye feast and houses some of the most interesting contemporary art including works from Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Jeff Koons.
The walk from Pershing Square to the Broad crosses some of the most impressive high rises in DTLA and the Walt Disney Concert Hall as well as the historic Grand Central Market. We certainly felt we got away in this area coming from the suburbs.
