Weekly What To Do: Jews, Time to Own The Streets

This week the Jews inherit the streets of LA with the rest of non-Christians. Chinese food will be consumed at an all time high. There is very little to do over the weekend before New Year's. We found some Christmas cheer and analog J-Date for you.

Metro doesn't want you driving drunk and neither does the city of LA. Metro will be free from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m. Dec 24 into Dec 25
