Things to do in the rain

Help CuratedLA stay independent, and our McDonalds cravings

Before you read our newsletter today, we would be ever so appreciative if you could donate to CuratedLA. We are currently within our infancy stages as a community-platform, and though this is exciting, finances are currently challenging. Your donation will allow us to grow, and ideally, have an additional CuratedLA Curator by this upcoming fall. Garrett’s Mom is running low on McDonalds Rewards Points.

A shorter newsletter today as I am working with designs. But, I didn’t want to leave anybody hanging: best rainy day activities + family-friendly events below

Rainy activities

📚️ Bookstores

There's nothing quite like stepping into a bookstore and letting yourself get lost in the pages of a good book. The scent of freshly printed pages and the sight of shelves stacked high with stories waiting to be explored is a feast for the senses. If you're looking for the perfect place to unwind, disconnect from the world, and dive into a different reality, check out these top-notch bookstores in our area.

  • The Last Bookstore: Don’t forget to snap a selfie in front of that famous book tunnel!

    • 🕛️ 11:00am - 8:00pm daily

    • 📍 453 S. Spring Street, 90013

☕️ Coffee shops

Do you want to escape the real world and enter a different reality for a while? Maybe you're looking for a place to unwind and disconnect from the constant buzz of technology. Whatever your reason, there's nothing quite like stepping into a cozy coffee shop and getting lost in the pages of a good book.

  • Cafecito Organico: Two cute cozy locations, serving Silver Lake and Atwater Village. But for a rainy day, we would recommend the Silver Lake location.

    • 🕛️ 7:00amam - 4:00pm daily

🎤 Comedy Shows

There's no need to let the rain get you down in the City of Angels. Instead, why not make the most of a dreary day by heading out to one of the many comedy clubs that call LA home? Not only will you be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy some side-splitting comedy, but you might just bump into some of your favorite TV and movie stars while you're at it.

  • Hollywood Improv: The Improv has been a fixture of the comedy scene since the '60s. Come for the laughs, stay for the food and drinks.

    • 🕛️ 5:00pm - 12:00am, Friday + Saturday until 2:00am

    • 📍 8162 Melrose Avenue, 90046

Family-friendly fun

🧗 Rock climbing

We heard that the kids might be out of school. So play it cool, with the excitement of rock climbing so the kids don’t climb out the window with boredom. Rock climbing is a fun-filled event that is perfect for kids and adults alike, and the best part? You can climb rain or shine!

  • Sender One: There are numerous locations: Playa Vista, Santa Ana, and LAX, with more opening up late this year and into next year. Here is information for the Playa Vista location:
