Los Angeles has always offered us an exhaustive array of things to do, and the month of May is going to be even better with the city slowly opening up. While the past year has got us all a little too comfortable in our PJs, it’s time to pull that summer dress out and get a little bit of ‘normal’ back into our lives. 

Grab a few friends and head out to one of these many activities the city of Angels has to offer this summer.
