The considered guideLos Angeles

Downtown to Echo Park, with an encore

Two art stops, a market meal, the lake and a live-music finish. Los Angeles in chapters, with time to move between them.

Keep the first part of the day around Grand Avenue, with a selective visit to The Broad and MOCA. Make Grand Central Market the food chapter, then travel to Echo Park Lake before the evening programme at The Echo.

This route calls for transport between downtown and Echo Park. Check current museum admission and leave enough time for traffic before a show. At the lake, follow posted access notices. The Echo and Echoplex are different rooms; the itinerary ends at the Sunset Boulevard venue, so match your ticket to that address.
