As so many of our San Francisco friends are packing it up for the cheaper housing and exploding scene in Los Angeles, we find ourselves planning more frequents visits.

We recently offered up an in-depth look at the arty and tasty going-on in downtown L.A. Now, we're rounding the corner for a look at the neighboring Arts District, where a bustling lot of galleries, boutiques, creative spaces and loft homes are breathing new life into the area's old industrial buildings and warehouses.

If you are planning a trip to Los Angeles and want to see the hottest emerging art, this is the place to be.
