Los Angeles: City of Angels...and Apparently a Whole Lot Else This Weekend
So, you're stuck in LA. Maybe it's a layover that feels longer than a Kardashian marriage, or perhaps you're visiting and Aunt Gertrude's guest room suddenly feels less charming. Fear not, weary traveler! Because this glorious city, besides having a talent for churning out reality stars, also boasts a never-ending stream of events guaranteed to jolt you from your existential dread (or boredom, whatever the case may be).
This Weekend in LA: From Cinco de Mayo Mayhem to Drag Queen Extravaganza
Cinco de Mayo with a Twist: Tacos, Tequila, and Maybe a Toucan?
It's Cinco de Mayo, and while the history books might be a little fuzzy on the details, one thing's for sure: LA throws a fiesta that would make even a sombrero sweat. This year, ditch the crowded bar scene and head to Alma Finca for an authentic Oaxacan celebration. Think mole that'll make your tastebuds do the Macarena, margaritas strong enough to wake the dead, and maybe, just maybe, a surprise appearance by a particularly festive toucan. (Hey, it's LA, anything goes!)
Drag Me to Brunch: Willam Storms the Stage
Feeling a need for something a little more...fabulous? Then sashay away to a performance by Willam, the legendary RuPaul's Drag Race queen with a wit as sharp as her cheekbones. Get ready for side-splitting shade, outrageous outfits, and enough sass to fuel a small village. Who needs brunch when you have bottomless mimosas and the gospel according to Willam? Just be prepared for some serious FOMO from your friends who are stuck at home glued to their boring old lives.
Bonus: Not-So-Secret Hollywood Hangouts
Let's face it, sometimes the best events in LA are the ones that aren't advertised on billboards. Feeling like a star yourself? Ditch the tourist traps and head to The Dresden for a classic Hollywood vibe. This former speakeasy is rumored to be a haunt (in the good way) for A-listers, so keep your eyes peeled – you never know who you might bump into!
Remember: This is just a taste of the wild and wonderful events happening in LA this weekend. So ditch the sweatpants, grab your dancing shoes (or your most outrageous heels), and get ready to experience the City of Angels like never before. Just try not to break the internet with your FOMO-inducing Instagram stories.
