The weekend is the sparkler in your champagne.
As you might’ve heard, The Standard Downtown’s got a new ping-pong/social club, SPiN. Well, we’re getting you $150 off a membership—plus a slew of other (champagne-related) privileges. Also, here’s an extra $100 toward gift sets of top-shelf spirits, delivered. And 30% off badass stationery from Terrapin Stationers. Yes, badass stationery.
Next time you’re stocking up at Silver Lake Wine, leave the car parked for a few minutes. Turns out that pinot pairs well with a pair of swim trunks and maybe a fresh white T-shirt from Modern Nature, the new shop in the same building. You detect notes of cotton...
What you want on game day: turkey meat loaf sliders, gruyère flatbreads and apple pie. (Sure, why not.) What you don’t want on game day: to spend time cooking these things. So go online and order Pop-Up Pantry’s Game Day Feast. You basically just have to add some heat. Your specialty.
There’s a new chef at the Mercantile wine bar—yes, he’s been on Top Chef, and yes, he knows brunch is a priority. So when you show up this weekend, you’ll find eggs benedict with pinot noir hollandaise, oysters, bottomless mimosas and four different Bloody Marys waiting. Turns out, your priorities are aligned.
Many people have already bought $600 tickets to some club for New Year’s—on the off chance you aren’t one of those people, just show up at the Parish. Fifteen bucks at the door gets you passed apps and a midnight champagne toast. Toast to investing in the next Parish.
And if a gastropub sounds a little... too gastropubby for ringing in 2013, maybe try watching Boogie Nights. As a live musical. In a venue transformed into Studio 54 for the evening. Just another night in LA...
