The Little Tokyo/Arts District Station may be closed until March, but there are still plenty of ways to eat, shop and play in the neighborhood and surrounding area. Besides the Gold Line bus shuttle, you can also use the Little Tokyo/Arts District Shuttle or take advantage of the parking validation program.

If you’re looking for a cozy place to grab a bite to eat adjacent to Little Tokyo, visit Blue Cube. The eatery serves breakfast and lunch, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.  Stop by for delicious beef and turkey burgers, breakfast, sandwiches and more! Make sure to ask the owner Brian about their secret menu. And if you show your TAP card, you receive 10 percent off lunch.

If you want to check out Blue Cube with your neighborhood Regional Connector project team, join the lunch meet-up on Thursday, Jan. 28 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. To participate, please RSVP with Lily Liang at LiangL@metro.net.

Blue Cube is located at 206 S. Spring Street. Walk there from the shuttle stop at Judge John Aiso/1st St. The DASH D may also be an option.
