In LA, 4 things to do for under $20
Think Los Angeles is expensive? Think again.
Among all the trendy restaurants, red carpets, and Kardashian sightings is a diverse culture that comes from being the second-most populous city in the country.
When students arrive in just 40 days at the new Emerson College Los Angeles, which opens January 12, they will never run out of inexpensive—or free—places to explore.
Here are four activities that are free or cost less than $20:
1. Downtown Art Walk

On the second Thursday of each month, the self-guided Downtown Art Walk showcases more than 40 public galleries from local artists. Spend a night under the stars browsing the outdoor exhibits found on Spring and Main streets between 2nd and 9th.
Take an unsettling look at the Blackstone Gallery that features art related to the theme of “Anxiety and Paranoia.” Or head to Gallery 1927 to see work inspired by Downtown LA’s own history and architecture.
The best part? It’s free!
2. Museums
