For a good time, call the weekend.
This is huge: we saved you Perks-exclusive VIP tickets to the Breeders’ Cup—they’re right on the field, against the rail, just feet from the finish line. Boom. Also coming your way: a whole bunch of elite-caliber beef jerky and the nicest shaving cream you’ll ever use. Life’s good with Perks...
After a long day, sometimes you just need to cut out a bit early, sidle up to a counter for happy hour and flag down an extra-strong grilled cheese. Related: all sandwiches are half-off at Heywood starting now. Well, technically starting at 4pm.
Yesterday was weird. You almost needed a sweater. Stop by Union tonight and you’ll see some boldly colorful ones—it’s a new line called Orley, from a trio who’ve put in time at Thom Browne and Rag & Bone. There’s beer and Kogi at this party, so they seem legit.
For your average, everyday sugar rush, you can get some chocolate at the store. But sometimes you need the kind of store with 7,000 kinds of candy. A store like Dylan’s Candy Bar, whose very columns are made out of peppermint. Doesn’t appear to be load-bearing peppermint.
You might think you’ve seen all there is to see vis-à-vis brunch. You’d be wrong. Towne has unleashed a confounding spread of strawberry-tomato donuts, chocolate-mint “Twinkies” and The King French Toast, a cube of bread that involves layers of peanut butter, caramelized banana and bacon. RIP, eggs and toast.
There are two ways to see some stunning Los Angeles scenery on Saturday. One: go to Barnsdall Art Park with a picnic dinner, wine from City Sip and amazing views of Downtown. Two: watch Drive, filmed mostly in Downtown. Or hey, watch Drive at Barnsdall. That’s next-level right there.
