The 3 Nightlife in Chinatown
Chinatown has 3 worth knowing. Ranked by how locals rate them, starting with Los Angeles State Historic Park, Center Theatre Group.
1
Los Angeles State Historic Park
A 32-acre open green space just north of Downtown, this park is one of the better spots in the area for concerts and large outdoor events, with long walkways and clear sightlines to the skyline. The grounds are flat and well-suited to spreading out, and the Downtown views alone make a walk here worthwhile.
1245 N Spring St
2
Center Theatre Group
One of LA's major theater organizations, based at 601 W Temple St, and consistently well regarded by the audiences who come through. Worth checking their calendar if you want live theater that takes itself seriously.
