Make Metro Part of Your Weekend
Every Wednesday we map out a guide to the best free things to do for the weekend taking L.A. Metro, and this week we wanted to highlight free ideas taking the system’s brand new Regional Connector (including free rides on the entire Metro system all weekend!).
For this Sunday, consider a ride to the brand new Little Tokyo Station, then take a sort jaunt to Hauser & Wirth’s downtown gallery to see an impressive collection of large-scale figurative sculptures created by Thomas J Price as part of the artist’s first comprehensive solo show in the U.S., Beyond Measure. If it’s an afternoon excursion, then on your walk back to Metro you can by stop by Angel City Brewery for their weekly Spinnin’ Sundays series, which runs from 6 to 10 p.m. All in all, a pretty strong date day/night.
