Shopping 

From high-end fashion to bargain hunter’s dreams, everything is available downtown. 

Macy’s Plaza, right across the street, includes not only a top quality department store, but also such conveniences as Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, Casual Corner, Border’s Express, and a U.S. Post Office.  The opening of Ralph’s, the first supermarket downtown in decades, certifies the rebirth of the district as a neighborhood.

The Grand Central Market is a food-shopper's paradise. 
Bargain secrets like Santee Alley and The California Market Center in the garment district present miles of fashion at wholesale prices. The nearby jewelry, toy and flower districts afford incredible opportunity and selection.  Chinatown, minutes away by DASH bus, offers not only Asian specialties, but a selection of fresh seafood and poultry hard to beat anywhere in Southern California.
