Easter Eggs & Meatballs
Hop to it this weekend! Make like Peter Rabbit and go on a hike or take a Horseback Ride in the Moonlight. If you've had more Cadbury's than you can stomach then laugh it off with the hilarious Meatballs of Comedy (FREE by mentioning EyeSpyLA on Saturday).
Stoney Point in Chatsworth has long been a local mecca for hikers and rock climbers.
EASTER HIGHLIGHTS:
EGG-CELLENT EVENTS:
PLAN AHEAD:
- A special screening of Chinatown at the Orpheum on April 14th - a rare chance to see a classic film at a classic theatre. Also take note: LA Conservancy's annual Last Remaining Seats tickets will go on sale to the public then as well. Tickets are on sale now to members - become a member and get your tickets sooner. They sell out fast!
- CicLAvia - the long awaited closing of Downtown LA to allow biking, skating, strolling, walking, and just plain joyous hanging out on the streets April 15th. View our video of last April's event.
BEER & ART: I went to the Spring Brewery Art Walk last Sunday - photos here.

A New Kind of Brew to Get Addicted to One Dripp At a Time
By Abby Abanes
