The Bowl is one of the best things L.A. has to offer residents and out-of-town guests. There's nothing like a picnic under the stars while listening to great music on a warm L.A. night. Pick a show--any show--and plan a meal. Make this a entertainment priority this summer and every summer. Last year, I saw Cesaria Evora, Bebel Gilberto, Sade and the Playboy Jazz Festival, and each experience was a great one. The best trip to the Bowl, however, was a splurge--bought box seats, a real treat, though you can have a great time in the bleachers, as well. One warning: DO NOT park at the Bowl. Park in the garage at the corner of La Brea and De Longpre and take the shuttle. It's cheap, easy and makes the whole experience a lot nicer.
Pros: Great shows, Great atmosphere, Classic L.A.
Cons: Parking
