About Wilshire Center

Wilshire Center is the dense, high-rise stretch of the Wilshire corridor at the heart of Koreatown, lined with landmark Art Deco and mid-century towers and the historic Wiltern theater. The architecture alone makes it a free, rewarding walk.

Pocket parks like Wilton Place Park and the area's library branches add green pauses, and the whole district is well served by Metro rail.
