BY LILY LEVINE Nestled in the trendy, industrial corner of Downtown LA’s Fashion District rests Los Angeles’s newest and chicest pan-Latin restaurant, DAMA. A former banana distribution warehouse, the site has been transformed into that of a cozy, tropical lounge, complete with dim lighting over an expansive bar, playfully patterned floors, and lush suspended plants. This newest establishment is led by chef and partner, Antonia Lofaso.
