If you are in LA, this is a great stop! You get to travel through decades of music and interactive displays. If you favorite artist is here, the intimacy is INSANE.
GRAMMY Museum
I love the selection this K-pop Shop has! You have the fun photobooth, albums, and merch on the 1st floor. 2nd floor is Sanrio, photocards, and collectibles.
KPOP Bestie
If you are in Koreatown, go big or go home! The Koreatown Plaza is the largest mall in Koreatown and they have a great selection of food, cosmetics, clothes, and TWO Choice Music shops.
Koreatown Plaza
If you need a fun beach day, I loved Santa Monica beach. The walkways are nice, I loved the energy of the Pier, and the shops are so cute!

I loved my stay here! CitizenM is perfect for solo travel and incredibly advanced. I have never had such a cool room to stay in. The rates are good for LA and it is close to the Crypto.com Arena and Convention Center.
citizenM Los Angeles Downtown
This club was so cool! From a secret door, gravity defying sculptures, and a true retro disco floor, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is so much fun!

A Bite to Eat
This place is my favorite food stop in Koreatown. I dream of their pasta when I am back home in MN. For sure stop at Nandarang anytime you are in LA!
Nandarang Restaurant & Bar
I love the food here. Tom's watch bar is a vibrant bar & grill across from the convention center and next to the Grammy Museum. Perfect place to refuel.

SO GOOD. I love the pizza here. Whenever I am in LA, I always try to make a trip to Emmy Squared Pizza in LA Live.
EMMY SQUARED PIZZA Downtown Los Angeles - California
The K-BBQ here is so good and reasonably priced! I loved the selections of meats and veggies and the staff is great. Highly recommend for your LA stop!
