Make Metro Part of Your Weekend
Every Wednesday we map out a guide to the best things to do for the weekend taking L.A. Metro. For this Sunday, we recommend checking out the 626 Night Market Mini, which returns to Downtown Santa Monica this Saturday and Sunday with a scaled-down version of their popular Asian-fusion food market. The open-air food event includes over two dozen vendors offering an array of dishes and an alcohol garden for attendees 21 years and older. The market is free to attend (though capacity is limited). Starts at 1 p.m. on both days. More info here.
