Join Us for the Spectacular Día de los Muertos Celebration at Hollywood Forever!
Avatar Time Out LA

Time Out LA

Día de los Muertos at Hollywood Forever The largest Day of the Dead celebration in California, and we wouldn’t doubt it: art exhibitions, dance rituals, musical performances, arts and crafts projects and food vendors (and crowds) aplenty. This year’s theme, “Tonas and Nahuales,” celebrates the spiritual guides and guardians central to indigenous Mesoamerican cultures, and it’s sure to be a spectacular display, as always. And after a couple of years of being split into two sessions, the 2024 edition will return to an all-day event, albeit one with staggered admission times (10am–2pm, 2–6pm and 6–11pm). Regardless of when you enter the Día de los Muertos event, you can stick around until the midnight close. The glowing, flickering altars look absolutely incredible after dark—though that’s also when the crowds tend to be the thickest. Oct 26, 2024

Join the Fun at the West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval!
Avatar Time Out LA

Time Out LA

West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval This is one of the largest Halloween street parties in the world, and there’s really no better place to be on October 31st. Sure, the crowd is huge (like, a half-million people huge) and a bit belligerent, but the amazing display of costumes and general merry-making spirit deem it at least a worthy stop, if not your main destination for the evening. There will be dancing, drinking and many impromptu costume contests. Even if you don’t plan on entering one, it’s best to still come dressed to the nines—no one likes a party pooper in jeans and a T-shirt. Find it along Santa Monica Boulevard, between Doheny Drive and La Cienega Boulevard.

Jiro Style Ramen, right here in Los Angie. At Tsujita Annex in West LA, Jiro-style ramen is a specialty that aligns with the authentic features of this style. Tsujita Annex is known for its rich, flavorful ramen and adheres closely to the traditional Jiro-style with its robust broth, substantial portions of toppings, and emphasis on a hearty, satisfying meal. The restaurant’s approach to Jiro-style ramen aims to capture the essence of the original while catering to the local palate. — Jiro-style ramen is a distinct type of ramen that originates from Ramen Jiro, a famous ramen shop in Tokyo, Japan. It’s characterized by its hearty, rich, and indulgent style. The key features of Jiro-style ramen include a thick, flavorful broth, a heavy dose of garlic, a significant amount of bean sprouts, and a generous portion of fatty pork. The noodles are usually thick and chewy, and the dish is often topped with extra slices of pork and sometimes a raw egg.

Influenced to try Community Goods while in LA and so glad I did. Hopefully we’ll see them back in Miami for another pop-up soon 👀 Hands down one of the best iced matcha lattes - added their vanilla syrup + oat milk. The sliders were so pillowy and much lighter than I expected (thankfully) and the sauces!!! Herb Aioli and a sweet and sour hot sauce. The pistachio toast though, was just the cherry on top!

Explore the Charm of Walking Through Los Feliz!
Avatar Time Out LA

Time Out LA

There are pockets of walkable shopping and dining districts scattered across Central L.A., but Los Feliz stands out among them as the neighborhood best experienced on foot. A lot of that comes down to the general vibe along the area’s two main streets: Sidewalk seating at Figaro Bistro turns part of Vermont Avenue into a European facsimile and the brick patio of Alcove and Big Bar makes Hillhurst Avenue feel welcoming at all hours. But Los Feliz also boasts some truly superlative destinations. Just over the East Hollywood edge of town, you can take a tour of the Hollyhock House (Thu–Sat 11am–4pm), the Mayan-inflected Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece. Just down the street from there, you can stock up on indescribable curios at Soap Plant Wacko, or head up Vermont to peruse some novels at the leafy Skylight Books or catch American Cinematheque’s handpicked classics screening at the Los Feliz Theatre. Of course, the neighborhood also makes for the perfect starting point to head up to Griffith Observatory. You could hike there entirely on foot (the entrance along Fern Dell, past the Trails, is ideal for that though a bit to the west), but for just 35 cents you can board a DASH bus that’ll take you right to the top. If you’re looking to make your entire Los Feliz visit completely car-free, you can start at the Vermont/Sunset stop on the B Line; it isn’t quite in the heart of town, but it’ll get you close enough

Discover the Hidden Gems of Santa Monica: More Than Just the Pier!
Avatar Time Out LA

Time Out LA

There’s a reason every tourist wants to visit the Santa Monica Pier: It perfectly fits that postcard-worthy image of the Southern California coast. But even if you remove that tourist-filled landmark from the equation, there’s still enough to do in Santa Monica—mostly all within walking distance—that you could easily fill a full day. Of course, if you simply want to lounge on the beach that’ll eat up plenty of hours. You don’t need to get your feet sandy to soak in the ocean vibes, though: Walk along the length of the blufftop Palisades Parks or grab a bite at rooftop spot Elephanté for views of the coastline. In that same downtown area, plan a visit on a Wednesday or Saturday morning to shop at the most legendary farmers’ market (and maybe the most compelling reason to venture in the direction of the Third Street Promenade). Otherwise, we’d actually suggest spending most of your time a few blocks south in Ocean Park, the city’s far more low-key hub of activity. It’s here along Main Street—the road gets particularly pedestrian-friendly past the California Heritage Museum—that you’ll find the majority of Santa Monica’s standout restaurants, like Pasjoli and Crudo e Nudo. And all the while, you’re still only about a block away from the beach. The notorious traffic headed into and around Santa Monica means that for anybody on the other side of the 405, you’ll basically need to make a day of it to make the drive worth it. Of course, you can bypass all that by taking the E Line into the city, about a block from Santa Monica Place and Tongva Park (consider a pit stop two stations out to check out the art galleries at Bergamot Station).

We ended the meal with fried rice and added cheese because who doesn’t love cheese?💛 ✻ Cold Radish & Cucumber Buckwheat Noodles ⤷Not in the video, but PLEASE try this and thank me later❤️‍🔥 Bursting with flavors, it pairs amazingly with the meat.
