To grasp LA's cultural and culinary renaissance, head downtown to the Grand Central Market on Broadway. The indoor foodie Mecca buzzes with its multicultural mix of purveyors: Wexler’s Deli serves the tastiest house-cured pastrami on rye; G&B Coffee was singled out by the New York Times for pouring the best iced latte in America; EggSlut's breakfast sandwiches command a line; and Sarita’s Pupuseria is masterful at churning out pupusas – disc-shaped corn tortillas filled with everything from cheese and Loroco (an aromatic Central American flower) to pork and/or beans. While you’re there, check out the 1893-built Bradbury Building across the road. You may recognize its wrought-iron interior from the movie Blade Runner.
