Petersen Automotive Museum x Jeff Dunham — April 12

The Petersen Automotive Museum’s monthly Breakfast Club Cruise-In gets a special guest this month with comedian, ventriloquist and noted car collector Jeff Dunham. Timed to the debut of his Discovery Channel series The Cars That Drove Us, the event invites visitors to cruise the museum grounds before heading inside to explore the “Fast & Furious” exhibit, offering a full-throttle mix of car culture and entertainment.

Joint Seafood and Uoichiba DTLA Opens — April 10

Liwei Liao expands his seafood concept with a new Joint Seafood and Uoichiba location near Little Tokyo, unveiling a 4,000-square-foot flagship that blends market, dining and specialty retail. The space centers on a dry-aged fish program, alongside a café, bakery and an intimate 34-seat temaki bar, offering a multifaceted destination for seafood lovers in the heart of DTLA.

The Airliner x Chef Evelyn Yap Pop-up — April 12

Chef Evelyn Yap returns to The Airliner for her second pop-up, taking over the revived venue for an afternoon of bold, flavor-driven dishes and music. Running from 1 to 5 p.m., the menu features standouts like trat-style crispy fish and Zaap fried chicken wings, with DJ Laree Love providing the soundtrack, turning the daytime event into a laid-back, high-energy hang.

Addison Rae x Irv’s Burgers — Through May 31

Addison Rae teams up with Irv’s Burgers for a limited-time collaboration that nods to both her Louisiana roots and her L.A. lifestyle. The LA to L.A. Combo pairs Cajun waffle fries with a collectible cup and a quarter-pound burger topped with white American cheese, Cajun-blackened pineapple, jalapeños and Irv’s signature sauce, served on a sesame bun or wrapped in lettuce for a lighter take.

Art for the Cure — April 11

Echo Park’s Debris gallery spotlights a mix of contemporary and classical work with Art for the Cure, a benefit exhibition featuring pieces by Ghettogloss gallery owner and Silver Lake Flea founder Jill “Fiora” Kirshbaum alongside small-scale sculptures by Dr. John Groper. Proceeds from the show support the Susan G. Komen Foundation, pairing local artistry with a philanthropic mission.
