School taught you that water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. But in LA, where things have always been done a bit differently, we put it at the low 70s. Welcome to your new favorite booze-soaked ice-skating rink Chill, launching Sunday where you'd usually find the outdoor swimming pool at the W Hotel. You'll want to bundle up—or just leave on your T-shirt—to enter this not-so-blustery, sun-baked winter wonderland. Once you've made your way through the lobby and out onto the pool deck, you'll find the water covered with a synthetic hybrid ice. (They say it's better for the environment than the real stuff—though, sadly, this eliminates the need for a mini-Zamboni.)

Can’t make it to the Getty? Check out the architecture here instead; it was also designed by Richard Meier. See what’s inside, too: artists like Damien Hirst and Robert Graham. Openings are usually a see-and-be-seen scene.

Almost impossible to describe. A collection of exhibitions based on a sort of fictitious alternate reality that sometimes resembles our own, occasionally overlaps with it, and often diverges completely.

The decent (though somewhat uneven) permanent collection can’t outshine the setting, which is really why most people go. Gorgeous architecture. Stunning views. Parking reservations required. Tip: Park in the lot on Barrington Avenue and Sunset Boulevard, and take the bus (60 cents!).
