Best Things To Do

Hey there, fellow L.A. enthusiast!

Welcome to the "Best Things To Do" newsletter, your ultimate twice-a-week guide to what’s going on in arts, culture, dining, and the outdoors across Southern California.

I’m Laura Hertzfeld, and I curate a list of events each week that I hope encourage you to explore and connect to our city in a deeper way. From quirky plays to food fests, art installations to community hikes, there’s never a shortage of things to do.

I sift through hundreds of listings to find all the things you can’t miss and send them right to your inbox every Thursday and Monday. Now that you’ve signed up, get out there!
