All of Los Angeles, straight to your home.
Time In Couchbound No. #08 | Monday 08 June 2020  
We want to express solidarity with everyone fighting injustice in Los Angeles and share some ways that Angelenos can help make a difference, including by donating to organizations that fight against racial injustice, supporting black-owned restaurants and using your wallet at these businesses that are donating their proceeds.

Roll up and watch a movie at these drive-in theaters
Cinephiles, rejoice: Drive-ins across L.A. are open again. After weeks with only a single drive-in in SoCal still screening movies, nearly all of the region’s old-school spots are once again welcoming guests. But there are some pretty big social-distancing-friendly changes you’ll need to follow; we break down what you need to know, and where you can find the nearest outdoor theaters.
The best LGBTQ things to do in L.A. right now
If you told us last year that most celebrations for the 50th anniversary of LA Pride would be held over Instagram and Zoom, we simply wouldn’t have believed you (and we also probably would’ve asked, what in the world is Zoom?).

L.A. restaurants are reopening for dine-in service. Here’s what you need to know.
It’s been months since we’ve had a meal somewhere other than our couch, but that’s all about to change: California has given L.A. the green light to reopen dine-in service at restaurants. But dining out isn’t quite as simple as it used to be, so let us unpack everything you need to know before you return to your favorite spots.

We’re not the only ones that have reopened
Sorting out the state, county and city health orders can be confusing, but thankfully this part is easy: All of L.A.’s neighboring counties have reopened restaurants for dine-in, too.

Here’s how you can go out safely in L.A. right now
L.A. is gradually moving forward along a path to something that resembles the city we used to know. But figuring out where exactly we are on that path can be confusing, so we thought we’d dive into what exactly going out and about town entails right now, including what’s open, what’s closed and what exactly social distancing entails.

We don’t know who needs to hear this but…
