    Downtown LA’s Arts District has been turning into the hippest of hip meccas with happening hotels, restaurants, retail, and office space. But recently, there have been a few hiccups, particularly on the restaurant side.

    In December, the Manufactory shut down after less than one year in business. It was a 40,000 square foot space with restaurants, a big bakery, marketplace, and coffee roastery.

    Now the Firehouse restaurant and boutique hotel says it’s shutting down for a few months for rebranding and other upgrades.
