Welcome to 'Things to do in Los Angeles' on this vibrant Sunday, February 16, 2025 As you step out into the city, you'll be greeted by clearing skies after a weekend of rain, setting the perfect stage for a day filled with excitement and adventure.

Today's vibe in LA is electric, with a plethora of events that cater to every interest. Here are a few key happenings you won't want to miss:

- For the sports enthusiasts, the Harlem Globetrotters are taking the court at the Intuit Dome Stadium at 1:00 PM, promising an afternoon of high-energy basketball and entertainment[1].
- If you're in the mood for something culturally rich, Cirque Kalabanté's 'Afrique en Cirque' is performing at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex at 6:00 PM. This show blends athleticism, dance, and live Afro-jazz music, offering a unique and captivating experience[2].
- For those looking for a family-friendly activity, the Angels Gate Cultural Center is hosting February's Family Art Workshop - Mapping Our Histories at 1:00 PM, where you can engage in creative art projects and learn about local histories[1].

As for local news, there's buzz around the new American diner, Le Hut Dinette in Santa Ana, which is offering a special Valentine’s Day prix-fixe menu featuring seasonal and local ingredients. This is a great spot to try some delicious and innovative dishes[2].

If you're looking for must-do activities today, consider visiting the Griffith Park, often described as LA's wild heart. Take a hike towards Mount Hollywood or Mount Lee for breathtaking views of the city and the iconic Hollywood Sign. For a more relaxed afternoon, head to Smorgasburg Los Angeles, a weekly open-air food festival in Downtown LA, where you can sample a wide array of cuisines from tacos to Chinese dumplings and Filipino grilled chicken[3].

Here’s a local tip to help you navigate like a pro: When visiting Smorgasburg, come with a group and adopt the "divide-and-conquer" approach. Have one person secure a table while others explore the various food vendors, then meet back to share your finds. This way, you can enjoy a diverse spread of LA's culinary delights[3].

As the day winds down, if you're up for a late-night adventure, The Reserve in Downtown LA is hosting 'Noche de Benito vs Drake' from 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM, a fun-filled night of music and dancing[2].

Looking ahead to tomorrow, February 17, 2025, Tyler, The Creator will be performing at an event starting at 11:30 AM, and the LA Art Show's Opening Night Premier is set to kick off, offering a glimpse into the city's vibrant art scene[1].
