LA live is what should've happened when someone saw an aerial view of Staples center and the LA convention center within close proximity. It definitely creates that entertainment center feel in downtown LA and was much needed for DTLA 's revitalization. Love that there are restaurants but too many chains. But what can you do. It's like citywalk but with sports and comic conventions and the occasional corporate conventions that happen at the convention center and the JW Marriott. Wish there were just good food options. Tried the fast Lawry's place, the Japanese place and yard house.. Not too thrilled. Smash burger is a quick option. But overall a great open area to hang out before a game and watch sportscasters do their thing.
