The Echo & Echoplex

Los Angeles, California

Photo: Desert Moss

The twin venues that have been the beating heart of LA's independent music scene for two decades. The Echo is upstairs — intimate, sweaty, 350 capacity. The Echoplex is downstairs — bigger, louder, with a stage that's launched a hundred bands you now see in arenas. The booking is fearless and the sound is excellent. If you care about live music, you end up here.

Insider tip

Check the calendar for Funky Sole on Saturday nights at the Echo. Best soul and funk DJ night in the city.

Sqirl

The ricotta toast that launched a thousand Instagram accounts, yes. But Sqirl is more than that — it's a tiny, sun-drenched kitchen turning out some of the most thoughtful grain bowls and seasonal plates on the east side. Jessica Koslow's preserves are legendary for a reason. The line moves fast. The food is worth the wait.

Bestia
EatArts District

Bestia

The restaurant that put the Arts District on the culinary map and somehow hasn't lost a step in over a decade. Ori Menashe's Italian cooking is muscular and unapologetic — house-made salumi, wood-fired pizzas, pastas that could make a Bolognese weep. The room is industrial-gorgeous, loud in the best way, and impossible to get into on short notice. Plan ahead.

The Broad
ExperienceArts District

The Broad

Eli and Edythe Broad's contemporary art museum is free, stunning, and houses one of the most important postwar collections in the world. Basquiat, Koons, Ruscha, Haring — all under one vaulted honeycomb roof designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro. The infinity mirror room still draws lines, but the permanent collection alone justifies the visit.

ExperienceDowntown · Las Vegas, Nevada

The Mob Museum

A surprisingly serious museum of organized crime and law enforcement, housed in the actual federal courthouse where the Kefauver Committee held mob hearings in 1950. The exhibits are unflinching, the artifacts are real, and the basement speakeasy and distillery — yes, a working distillery — is the smartest gift-shop equivalent in any museum in America.

ExperienceSouth Congress · Austin, Texas

The Continental Club

Austin's greatest music venue isn't the big room with the marquee — it's this narrow, sweaty, 200-capacity honky-tonk that's been on South Congress since 1955. No cover most nights. The best guitarists in Texas rotate through the weekly residencies. Stand near the stage. Bring cash for the tip jar. This is the real thing.
