Time Out #12 | Monday 19 October 2020

These 27 notable L.A. restaurants and bars have now permanently closed

It’s the story we least look forward to updating, but we’ve unfortunately had to add more to the list of L.A.’s permanent closures, including go-to Silver Lake date spot Cliff’s Edge, K-town institution Beverly Soon Tofu and Studio City’s the Bellwether, home to one of our absolute favorite burgers.

What to do this week

Through Oct 31 Halloween at Descanso

All of L.A.’s upcoming outdoor and drive-in movies in one calendar

Summer is already way behind us, but L.A.’s outdoor movie season—with a mix of drive-in and open-air screenings—is even busier than ever. As we approach Halloween, practically the entire schedule has switched over to spooky picks, with classics like Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice and Get Out screened at drive-ins at a possibly-haunted Hollywood hotel, in a zombie-filled parking lot and outside of a soccer stadium, plus a poolside series in DTLA.

Here’s what you can and can’t do outside in L.A. right now

There’ve been some pretty meaningful recent changes to L.A.’s public health order, particularly in regards to playgrounds and small gatherings. So we thought it was time for a refresher on what you can and can’t do outside—and more importantly, how you can enjoy the great outdoors safely.
