Infirmary

Before

Long walk · 0.7 mi · 13 min walk; 2 min ride - Exposition Park

A seven-acre sunken garden between the Coliseum and the Natural History Museum, laid out in 1928 with a fountain in the middle and benches around the edge. There are something like twenty thousand rose bushes and in spring the smell carries across the lawn. It is free, it is quiet in the way a walled garden is quiet, and almost nobody on Figueroa knows it is there.

After

short ride recommended · 8 min - Harvard Park

A walk-up burger stand on Western at 44th with a window, a few outdoor tables and a menu that runs from a chili cheeseburger to pastrami and breakfast burritos. It opens at nine in the morning and goes to half past eleven at night on weekdays, which makes it the one place near Lico that is still serving when a show ends. Order at the window and wait outside.
