Row DTLA

Row DTLA at 777 S Alameda St in downtown Los Angeles, California, is a redeveloped former warehouse and distribution district that now combines independent boutiques, design and lifestyle shops, restaurants, offices and event space. The complex occupies a large industrial campus in the Arts District area, and its brick and concrete buildings, loading docks and wide courtyards give it a distinctive converted-warehouse look. Retail leans toward independent and regional labels, home and design stores, vintage and gift shops rather than national mall chains, so the offering is more curated and less mainstream than a conventional mall. Goods are largely authentic, and the tourist-trinket share is low. Prices are fixed and bargaining is not customary; most shops accept cards and mobile payments, California sales tax applies, and there is no general tax-refund scheme for visitors. The best-known weekly event is Smorgasburg LA, an open-air food market held on Sundays from about 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with dozens of food vendors selling a range of cuisines, desserts and drinks, plus some craft stalls. Restaurants and cafes operate through the week as well. The atmosphere is spacious and low-key on weekdays and busy and social on Sundays, when families and groups fill the courtyard. Most shops open around 10:00 AM and close about 8:00 PM, though hours vary by tenant, so checking individual listings is useful. The district is a short drive or rideshare from Grand Central Market and the Arts District, and on-site parking is available for a fee, often with validation from tenants. Visitors planning a Sunday trip can combine the market with exploration of nearby galleries and murals.
