For a more upscale vibe head on over to Artisan House for California-and Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Located in the Pacific Electric Building, the restaurant-market hybrid produces its own pastas, sauces, bases and stocks from scratch. Plus, they have a really cool bar made from the building’s original doors.
Mirrored columns, tiled floors, marble counters, and old sewing machines, with designer-inspired cocktails: it is the bar of the Fashion District. We recommend you try The McQueen and some tapas! Patten Bar is located across from the California Market Center has happy hour f 5-7p.m.
Next door to Pattern Bar, the brand new beauty salon offers a 10% discount to all first-timers and an excellent express mani and pedi. It’s open until 6 p.m. Monday and Tuesday and until 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.
The CMC Home and Gift Market doesn’t start until the March 18, but it’s a great place to visit for storefront décor ideas, and if you’re already in the building, why not head up to the 12th floor? You won’t be disappointed.
