explore chinatown in l.a.
downtown los angeles's chinatown, sometimes known as new chinatown, was developed around the central plaza in 1938, just west of old chinatown, where union station is now. before the move, this area was l.a.'s little italy and is still home to st. peter's italian church and casa italiana cultural center. chinatown here is less dense than new york or san francisco—the shops don't line the streets as thickly—but there are still a few cute stores and plazas through the serpent gateway heading north on broadway from cesar chavez. the neon pagoda lights and lanterns at central plaza make a colorful display at night.

browse at the last bookstore
the last bookstore, at the corner of 5th and spring in downtown los angeles, has become an international tourist draw. the shop is located on two floors of a re-purposed historic bank building that also houses the crocker club — one of downtown la's coolest clubs. the address is on spring street, but the entrance is around the corner on 5th. they don't just sell, buy and trade second-hand books and records at the last bookstore. they've created an intriguing combination of quirky art and wide-ranging literature in a really unique space. the bones of the original architecture are allowed to shine through with a painted beamed ceiling supported by classic columns. the second floor wraps around the open first floor with a balcony walkway, keeping your eyes busy with everything going on above and below. upstairs houses unique art studios and galleries, a knitting shop and a labyrinth of more books, including the dollar room, with over 100,000 books for $1. several bookcases are organized by color — in case you need them for purely decorative purposes. in addition to the art studios and galleries, themed art installations, large and small, are scattered throughout. one of the most popular is the tunnel of books on the 2nd floor adjacent to the vault housing the crime and horror collection. there's a second vault downstairs in the children's section, with kid-size benches for reading. there are some overstuffed sofas and chairs around for reading, but you're as likely to see people pull up a spot on the floor wherever they've discovered treasure among the stacks. the last bookstore hosts a variety of events from book signings, author talks and art openings to comedy shows, music performances and open mic nights.
