Things to do in San Pedro this weekend

San Pedro is the South Bay’s wild card — a port town with a battleship, an aquarium, a sunken neighborhood fenced off at the cliffs, and some of the best cheap Mexican and Italian food in LA. The waterfront is changing fast around AltaSea and the Warner Grand, which makes now a good time to go.
