LA County: High Class, Low Cost



Every Friday night of the summer at 6:00 p.m. the Los Angeles County Museum of Art hosts a free Jazz concert in their outdoor courtyard. The museum brings in big names for the series like Wayne Shorter, Arturo Sandoval, and Kenny Burrell.  Many attendees sit on the nearby lawn and picnic with wine and cheese. If you’re looking to splurge, make a reservation ahead of time at LACMA’s gourmet Ray's and Stark Bar. They have an innovative yet classic menu and perfectly mixed cocktails.


The museum keeps their world class contemporary exhibits open until 11:00 p.m. so you can check out the art when the show's over. Regardless, you’re bound to be beckoned by Chris Burden’s alluring “Urban Light” installation situated just beyond the stage. 


Stroll through the art deco lampposts at the right moment and the stars overhead accompanied by the live soundtrack make you feel like you’ve walked onto the set of a Hollywood classic.
