Cheap & Cheerful Grammy Arrival Viewing- Downtown
It's award season in Los Angeles and one if the really fun things to try, at least once, is to squeeze your way into a good viewing spot for the arrivals of an award show.
This week it's the 54th Grammy Awards. The Grammys will be held at the Staples Center (1111 So Figueroa between 11th and Pico) this Sunday, February 26. The broadcast begins at 8:00pm local time, but there are rehearsals Saturday and arrivals begin around 6:00pm.
I would recommend not taking a car into the area, check a Metro subway map -- you can take the Red Line/Purple line to 7th/Metro then transfer to the Blue line for 1 stop to Pico Station and the Staples Center is right there. Or park further east into the city and walk in--you will thank me at the end of your evening.
While you are waiting for your favorite artists, you could check out the Grammy Museum. At $12.95 for an adult ticket, not the cheapest admission, but definitely worth it if you have never been before. Or just check out everything that is going on on the LA Live "campus."
