"Prepare for a splurgy night out when dining at San Laurel. José Andrés’s impressive Downtown spot inside the Conrad Los Angeles hotel is within walking distance of the Music Center with a gorgeous Spain-meets-California menu showcasing lobster salpicon, vermicelli mac and cheese, and mole rack of lamb. If one has time for the tasting menu, it’s worth it. As is the wine-pairing add-on." - Mona Holmes
"The Music Center is hosting a dinner with Santa Claus on Monday, December 2 at 4 p.m. or 6 p.m. to coincide with the Los Angeles County Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at Jerry Moss Plaza. Set on the fifth-floor ballroom of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at the Music Center, the ticketed event (starting at $50 for children and $75 for adults) includes a family-style dinner, a photo booth meet-and-greet with Santa, cookie decorating for kids, a dessert bar, and a hot cocoa station with all the toppings. Tickets are available on Eventbrite." - Cathy Chaplin
"In Downtown LA, the popular Music Center has launched a new onsite catering and events arm called Hope & Grand Events to push further into a summer of garden weddings, public events, and more across its 22-acre property, with Levy handling the food for those in-person events of various scales." - Farley Elliott
"A collection of major performance venues in Downtown Los Angeles that recently ended its partnership with its previous culinary operator and has announced a new deal to have an experienced national operator run its food program across 15 venues on Bunker Hill; leadership says the move aims to stabilize and reinvent the center's dining offerings for pre‑ and post‑event crowds while prompting questions about the balance between operational competence and local culinary representation." - Matthew Kang
"A new plaza makeover at the Music Center, which cost north of $40 million, now includes a Go Get Em Tiger and a restaurant with rotating culinary talent, plus lots of open space, a wine bar, and more." - Farley Elliott
