The weekend is a naked man with a Fudgsicle, waking you up.
In honor of fall’s arrival, we’re stocking your cellar with some robust bottles of red wine for up to 53% off, making your mimosas bottomless at brunch in Beverly Hills and framing your face with 40% off a new pair of glasses (or sunglasses) from Tortoise & Blonde. Your face has earned this.
To celebrate 25 sangria-soaked years on Virgil, Cha Cha Cha has a present for you: an all-night happy hour for the duration of 2011. Translation: $5 jerk-chicken pizzas and $10 sangria pitchers, pretty much whenever you want. This is the best thing to happen to Virgil since Matthew Broderick.
You can feel it. There’s a (71-degree) chill in the air. Time to swing by Milkmade’s big sale and stock up on some layers. Think Unis shirts, Garbstore jackets... and a weekend bag to throw it all in. It’s almost like you live in a town with seasons. Almost.
Tomorrow afternoon, you’ll undoubtedly want some bacon-spiked chocolate. If you move some meetings around today, you can sneak out and hit Vosges, the famed purveyor of Mo’s Dark Bacon Bars that’s finally opening a fancy local shop. Bacon or meetings, bacon or meetings...
Get yourself on the list for the Palihouse rooftop Saturday and you’ll behold a strange sight—a bunch of people dancing, but no audible music. (It’s coming through everyone’s headphones, which are supplied.) There will also be plenty of barbecue and a full bar. That’s less of a strange sight.
There’s a substantial KCRW pie contest happening at LACMA Sunday, but you’ll be focusing on what’s truly important: booze. Have a seat in the adjacent Stark Bar courtyard and order the Pie Cocktail—it’s key lime pie in a graham-cracker-rimmed glass. No word on a carrot cake Old Fashioned.
