Best things to do this week in Los Angeles and Southern California: April 28 - May 1

I don’t know about you, but now that the list of Olympics venues is starting to come together, I’m working on my personal ‘Things To Do Before 2028’ list. Maybe that’s another list we should work on — send your ideas to bestthingstodo@laist.com! But first up is Trestles, the Orange County gem that wasn't on my radar before Mayor Karen Bass announced it would host surfing in 2028, beating out "Surf City USA," nearby Huntington Beach. Check it out for the ocean views, water sports and hiking before it gets too crowded as the games get closer.

 

For more to explore, visit LAist.com, where you can learn about my new favorite racehorse, Journalism, as he gets Derby-ready; plan ahead and make your Mother’s Day brunch reservations with some recommendations from food editor Gab Chabrán; and get your tickets to join AirTalk live from Dodger Stadium on May 7.
