The Dodgers are World Series-bound! But Game 1 against the Yankees isn’t till Friday, so here are some great events to keep you entertained in the meantime.
Get inspired by author Richard Powers and his take on the oceans that connect us at Live Talks, check out a new Alice Neel exhibit at the beautiful (and massive!) new David Zwirner gallery in Melrose Hill, or get your fill of thrills at the Hitchcock retrospective showing Dial M For Murder and more at the Nuart. There’s also a chance to help build a Rose Parade float (!!), experience some avant-garde performance art and try a haunted cocktail.
For more to explore, visit LAist.com where you can meet the local woman who’s tried 40 breakfast burritos — it’s not me, but it probably could be. Plus learn what’s being done to curb the local risk of dengue. And I just loved this article about what the L.A. Zoo is doing to honor pets who’ve crossed the Rainbow Bridge and how you can honor them this upcoming Dia de los Muertos.
