Things to do in Los Angeles this Sunday

Summertime drive-in series Electric Dusk and the Vista’s late-night Secret Movie Club are teaming up for some screenings in Glendale, held atop the old Sears parking garage. Most films are shown as double featurs, and you can purchase tickets to just one movie or both each night; either way, you’ll pay a flat car fee plus a per-person charge. And like other drive-in screenings, cars will be spaced six feet apart and you’ll need to remain inside of it during the film.

Support women-owned restaurants and grab takeout from some of L.A.’s best spots during this debut food fest. RE:Her will assemble themed menus, convos and collabs from women restaurateurs for 10 days in January. The full list of events is nothing less than excellent thanks to the superlative chefs behind the effort, including Lien Ta of All Day Baby, Mary Sue Milliken of Border Grill, Bricia Lopez of Guelaguetza and Kimberly Prince of Hotville Chicken, among others. RE:Her also includes a team-up with OpenTable to start a grant program that’ll eventually distribute cash grants to women-owned restaurants across the county that’ve been impacted by the pandemic.

One fateful afternoon in 1924, Lionel Sternberger contemplated the hamburger he was cooking up at Pasadena’s Rite Spot and thought it needed a little something extra. A simple slice of American cheese later and the cheeseburger was born, spawning hundreds of variations across the country and inspiring Pasadena to celebrate its prodigal son with a week dedicated to all things cheeseburger. Choose from about forty restaurants to take advantage of burger deals and special creations and vote in the Cheeseburger Challenge. The annual week-long celebration—which is takeout-only this year—only confirms what Sternberger knew all along: everything tastes better with cheese. Participating spots include El Portal, Dog Haus, Pie ’n Burger, the Stand, the Raymond and the Luggage Room.

Insomniac—who’s behind EDC, HARD Summer and the Wonderland series—is transporting the carnival-like Day-Glo atmosphere of its music fests to Arcadia’s Santa Anita park for an after-dark drive-thru this January. Electric Mile is constructing seven themed areas inspired by the promoter’s various fests, with a promise of five million lights—plus lasers, disco balls, light-up mushrooms and a warehouse rave—along an hour-long route, all experienced from your car. And as you might expect, it’ll all be set to an EDM soundtrack curated by festival founder Pasquale Rotella. Timed tickets are priced per car (up to eight people), and the cost varies by day; early evenings and school nights tend to be cheaper ($70 to $80), while Friday nights and all-day Saturday costs $100. Initial reports made it sound like the wait to get into the drive-thru was a bit slow for non-VIP ticket holders, so Insomniac announced that it would lower Electric Mile’s daily capacity moving forward.

Catch drive-in screenings outside of a 91-year-old theater with the Hollywood Hills as your backdrop during this new series. The American Legion Hollywood Post 43 will host up 30 cars a night, seven days a week during the veterans organization’s new drive-in (with films digitally projected onto a 38-foot screen and transmitted via your car radio). Each reservation includes popcorn, soda and candy, and you can also choose to donate to the theater so that it can add a 35mm projector to its new outdoor setup.
