| Fun for a buck in L.A.! |
351 South Hill Street
Los Angeles, CA
Don't
fret, siderodromophobes: at 298 feet, this will be the shortest train ride of
your life.
Located
across the street from the Grand Central Market, the Angels Flight Railway puts
the fun in funicular! Depending on your timing you'll board Sinai or
Olivet, the two railway cars given makeovers during the last two decades.
Start ground-level on Hill Street and ride the brief, steep slope up
to the peaceful California Plaza Watercourt. At 50 cents each way, a trip
on this historic train is a bargain.
Angels
Flight originated in 1901 and was refurbished within the last two decades,
providing a slick-looking, relaxing ride. On weekends, the Watercourt is
nearly vacant and therefore a nice place to sit and reflect, high above the
hustle and bustle of the busy city. Close your eyes and clear your head,
or tear through bags of international food and drink just purchased at the
Grand Central Market across the street. Who am I to judge?
