Hands down my favorite museum EVER. Eli Broad is a local businessman who has amassed an amazing collection of contemporary art. Plan to eat at Grand Central Market for lunch before or after visiting the museum. Reservations for the museum are a good idea.

Shopping
Remodeled state of the art shopping mall. Anchor department stores are Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom and Macy's. Check out the latest Tesla's and don't miss the pop up boutique near Tesla featuring goods from local designers (owned by C Magazine....don't recall the name). Movie theaters, and lot's of great food options, too.
Westfield offers TONS of great food options. My favorites are Eataly, Obika, Tender Greens, Beaming Superfood Cafe. There is a new organic Mexican restaurant that looks great, too. And for burger lovers there is a Shake Shack.
