Things to do in Torrance this weekend
Torrance is the South Bay’s largest city and its best-kept food secret: a dense strip of Japanese izakaya, ramen shops and yakiniku houses, Oaxacan kitchens, dim sum halls, and more craft breweries than any city in LA County. Add Wilson Park’s twice-weekly farmers market and the 400-acre Del Amo center and you get a full weekend without ever seeing the ocean.
