Hi Mark,
I recommend checking out Little Tokyo, Olvera Street and Chinatown if you want to walk around and get some good food. They are all in the general vicinity of downtown. You could also check out the Museum of Contemporary Art (http://www.moca.org)

Subject: OT: One night in LA
Here's one for the LA listees. You have one free evening in Los
Angeles. You are staying downtown near the convention centre and
don't have a car. Where would you take someone if you wanted to
show them how great LA is? It doesn't have to be music related.
PS: see if you can guess where I am right now.
