Weekend: Upper Deck Golf at
Dodger Stadium

So maybe you’ll never get called up to swing a bat at Dodger Stadium, but you can swing… a golf club? Or at least you can when stadium-touring driving range series Upper Deck sets up at Chavez Ravine this December. You’ll be able to hit golf balls off of the upper deck and onto the field, where you’ll find various targets.

Food: Si! Mon

Located in Venice, Si! Mon serves shareable plates of “elevated street food.” Menu highlights include Carles’s signature yuca tostadas, fried chicken drumsticks, and Panamanian-style dumplings.

“What we tried to do is make it feel like you are in a Central American garden that is close to the beach,” Carles says.
