"Here’s a solid dinner and a show strategy when attending a Hollywood Bowl show. First, ride-share to chef Jonathan Harris’s restaurant for a 5 p.m. reservation. Immediately order Linden’s cocktails and bread service with schmaltz cream cheese. Then, dive into the prawns and polenta or the smoked jerk duck. Finish the meal no later than 6:15 p.m. and catch a ride directly to the 103-year-old venue." - Mona Holmes
"A historic outdoor amphitheater dating back to 1922, famous for its distinctive round stage and longstanding role as a site for legendary performers from Ella Fitzgerald to the Beatles and Björk. Home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic and featuring a multi-level museum chronicling its past, the venue is a quintessential Los Angeles music experience." - Devorah Lev-Tov
"It’s amazing that some people still don’t know that LA’s best music venue (by a mile) is BYOB. But you do now. It’s wine and beer only, but if you’re trying to sneak tequila into an LA Philharmonic show, you clearly don’t need a BYOB guide to tell you what to do. Pack a picnic basket full of your favorite wine and snacks, and go enjoy one of the best nights you can have in this city." - brant cox
"This weekend also marks the official return of The Hollywood Bowl. Their July 4th Fireworks Spectacular runs July 3rd and 4th, and will feature music from Kool & The Gang and arguably the best firework show in town accompanied by the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. Tickets are available here." - brant cox
"The Hollywood Bowl is LA’s crown jewel of live entertainment venues, with more dining options than any other venue in town. Concertgoers can pre-order dinner boxes the day before the event, make mobile orders for pick-up, or get coffee from South LA Cafe. And while self-prepared picnicking is a tradition at the Bowl, chef Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne have three sit-down restaurants on-site. There’s the Pool Circle for Bowl subscribers with a three-course, prix-fixe dinner with wine selections; wines with small plates at Ann’s Wine Bar; and the Backyard utilizing two wood-burning grills to prepare crusty house-made bread, whole sea bream, grilled asparagus with farro tabbouleh, and some outstanding mac and cheese." - Virali Dave
