LOS ANGELES - TelAve -- CurationsLA today announced the launch of Raven, an interactive discovery platform that turns Los Angeles events, restaurants, venues, and neighborhoods into a connected experience Angelenos can actually explore.

Raven replaces the search box with a path. Find an event, and the platform immediately surfaces the restaurants within walking distance, the neighborhood around the venue, what else is happening nearby, and other places carrying the same energy.

"Los Angeles does not have a discovery problem. It has a connection problem," said Wyatt Stephens, founder of CurationsLA. "There are thousands of things happening in this city every week. What has been missing is the thread between them - the dinner before the show, the bar after, the neighborhood you did not realize you were standing in. Raven is that thread."

CURATOR GUIDES

The centerpiece of the launch is Curator Guides, hand-built collections published by real Angelenos. A Guide threads events, restaurants, and venues into a single narrative, like a friend who genuinely knows the city would send you.

Guides publish in three modes. Public Guides are fully discoverable. Unlisted Guides are link-shareable, built for friends. Private Guides remain owner-only.

INTERACTIVE FEATURES

Event Search lets visitors filter Los Angeles events by date, neighborhood, venue, and category.

Trending vibes show what Angelenos are genuinely engaging with, ordered by community upvotes.

Nearby Eats appears on every event and venue page, surfacing restaurants and bars within walking distance so the full evening assembles in one place.The same logic runs in reverse, so dinner becomes the anchor of a night rather than the end of one.

Similar Vibes connects places by energy rather than category, which is how people describe what they want far more often than by cuisine or genre.

THE VIBES NEWSLETTER

Raven is built on VIBES, the CurationsLA newsletter delivered every Tuesday and Thursday. VIBES covers events, restaurant openings, and neighborhood happenings under a strict editorial premise: cover what is opening, launching, playing, and cooking, rather than what is closing.
