Our Picks
The rain eased up Friday, making way for beautiful skies through the weekend. Hopefully you got a chance to be out and about, enjoying some of the events we highlighted in last Thursday's edition.
There's more rain on the way for Southern California starting Wednesday, but there's still plenty of indoor art and fun to be had — including some early Valentine's Day delights! From dancing it all out at the Mint on Wednesday night to getting tattoos while enjoying delicious bites in Chinatown, this week has plenty of options for finding entertainment without getting soaked.
For more to explore, visit LAist.com where you can check out the best Valentine’s Day deals for under $100, learn how to foster pets that were found during the wildfires, and learn about the next generation of folk dancers keeping the traditional Lunar New Year of lion dancing alive.

Now Serving
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
