Downtown Los Angeles Tour

Explore DTLA with POLY!

Are you a new ESL student in Los Angeles? Or maybe you’ve been here a while and have always wanted to embark on a Downtown Los Angeles Tour, but didn’t know where to start. There is so much to see and learn in Los Angeles. However, as a new resident to Los Angeles, this can be a difficult challenge. Many students attending language schools in the U.S. for the first time do not know where to go and where to stay away from.

Fear no more. This upcoming April 20th, you can join our Explore Downtown LA Tour with POLY Los Angeles, Pasadena, and Irvine ESL students and staff. On Saturday afternoon from 12PM to 5PM, we will be taking you through interesting places for you to check-out and see.

The Tour

The Downtown LA Tour will begin in the Little Tokyo/Arts District area where we will check out local shops, bakeries, and more. Afterwards, we will head over to the historic Grand Central Market. Here you can buy your lunch from various restaurants from different cultures, styles, and cuisines. Next, we will take our lunch to Grand Park for a relaxing, cozy picnic in Downtown’s most beloved park. Then, we will head over to The Last Bookstore, an iconic shop in the heart of Downtown. At the bookstore, you can browse for something new to read or simply sit and enjoy the quiet atmosphere. You can also tour the shop, and browse their beautiful book arrangements.

Detour

After that, our Explore Downtown Los Angeles Tour will take a detour to Little Damage. This place is famous for their fancy charcoal ice cream. Also, they have a selfie wall where you can strike your best pose.

Final Destination

Finally, we will make one final stop at Pershing Square before making our way to Spire 73, the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. Pershing Square has some of the most interesting architecture and colors of the area. To end the day, we will enjoy a gorgeous sunset view of LA from one of the most cool spots in Downtown – Spire 73.

If you ever feared exploring Los Angeles on your own, this POLY event will be a great experience for you. Join Poly Languages Institute’s Explore Downtown Los Angeles Tour for a fun and adventurous day with ESL students and staff! Don’t forget to bring your comfortable shoes, sunscreen, a bag, and a camera to capture long-lasting memories.

Student Event – Jazz at LACMA

Jazz at Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is an annual celebration of the greatest Jazz musicians in Los Angeles. The beloved program runs from April to November, every Friday night at 6:00 p.m.
“Celebrating over twenty years at LACMA, the program continues to be one of the museum’s most recognizable offerings […] Over 42,000 visitors attend the program annually,” according to LACMA’s website.
Located on the Smidt Welcome Plaza of the museum, Jazz at LACMA invites all guests, of all ages, for FREE! Guests are welcomed to bring food and drinks into the event, as well as picnic baskets and blankets; however, they must follow LACMA’s guidelines: http://www.lacma.org/plan-your-visit
This intimate event produces a remarkable sense of community in L.A., which, at times, can feel impossible to imagine for a city with such constant mobility.
On October 19, 2018, our Poly ESL students will attend this melodious event to build a stronger bond amongst our three centers: Los Angeles, Pasadena and Irvine. The students will swing to the rhythms of the Jon Mayer Trio.
In the heart of L.A., under the Californian sky, the students will feel the gentle breeze harmoniously swaying with the rich echoes of the jazz instruments.
