The first stop was The Broad Museum. Tract home mega-developer Eli Broad has an eclectic contemporary art collection and it's on display at the new museum next to the Walt Disney Concert Hall. I'm not an art connoisseur, but I thoroughly enjoyed everything. Plus, it's free! Here are my favorites:
Thomas Struth:
Semi-Submersible Rig:
Florence Gallery Audience:
Jeff Wall's Dead Troops Talk (Red Army In Afghanistan):
I then met up with a friend at the remodeled Clifton Cafeteria. The line for food was 50 deep, so we settled for a cocktail at the bar.
We then walked over to Cole's for a French dip. Cole's and the nearby Philippe both claim to be the inventor of the sandwich. Mine, with tater tots, did not disappoint.

The Broad was absolutely spectacular. I don't even know where to start. We did Clifton's too a few weeks back (re-opening weekend, actually), and I'm definitely a fan of Cole's over Philippe's. Did you happen to bring your #100ThingsLA book? ;)
@Ed: I totally forgot about the book!
