Last night's "India Calling!" concert at the Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles' best place to see live music during summer months, was a reminder that Bowl season is swiftly winding down. The show was the last in the "World Festival" series, leaving Angelenos just over a month left to enjoy nights at the Bowl with picnics, music, views of the Hollywood sign, and tickets starting as low as $1 per seat.

The Bowl is hardly a well-kept Los Angeles secret, joining the ranks of Runyon Canyon as one of the city's most popular attractions. But it's also one of those quintessentially LA experiences that even locals fawn over, year after year. There are few other places you can get such bang-for-your-buck entertainment, and which allow you to bring bottles of wine and outside food rather than pay a ridiculous fee for venue concessions. Though, if you want to, the Bowl has a slew of restaurant-quality food from the Patina Group to choose from—think Angus rib-eye and gourmet sandwiches instead of stale nachos with imitation cheese.
