On a Sunday Afternoon (in Downtown LA)

A couple of weekends ago, we decided to drive downtown to check out MoCA's First Thirty Years collection. So on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning, we drove out to Bunker Hill and parked at a meter. (Sundays are free parking days if you find a metered spot!)

We walked up to "Tom's favorite spot" that became Summer's too, and I enjoyed it as well.

A quick walk up to Grand and we spent an hour at MOCA, loving the interactive Chocolate Room and the Four Corner Piece from the 1940-1980 installation.

And with museum ticket in hand, we hopped on the free Dash shuttle that took us to The Geffen and continued the collection.

Right next door was also the Giant Robot exhibit at the Japanese American National Museum.

We stopped in and enjoyed the art exhibition of Giant Robot's Asian pop culture focus.

But all the museum going made us hungry. What better way than to stop and have lunch at Little Tokyo's Daikokuya.

Lucky for us, we put our names down before a crowd of people after us and only had to wait about 5 minutes to be seated.

We ordered the pork fried rice which was a nice compliment to the Daikokuya ramen.

A great way to spend a Sunday in Downtown LA!
