Come for the week, stay for the weekend.
Your Perks: 57% off three hours of one-on-one Formula 1 race training at Allen Berg Racing Schools—including time with Berg himself.

It wouldn’t take much to get you away from your usual haunts and to a Little Tokyo place called XLanes. Maybe just 24 bowling lanes, 24 beers, 100 arcade games and 16 inches of Dragon’s Breath pizza (topped with ghost chilies). Call that a ballpark estimate.
You’ve waited at least 8,000 years for the new Tinga outpost in Santa Monica to start serving lunch. Okay, maybe it’s only been a few weeks. Still. You’re practically a saint. And finally your patience has been rewarded. They have tacos. Go to them.
If you’ve been looking forward to another Silver Lake session of outdoor rock at the Jubilee Music Fest: sorry. It’s Downtown now. In a warehouse. The Drums will be there to console you. And Fool’s Gold. And other great bands you’ll either know or want to pretend to know.

You’re in Malibu on a Sunday night. You’re seeing stars and sky and ocean and a bunch of surfers doing surfer-y stuff. But you’re not actually looking at the shore. You’re sitting in the grass at Malibu Country Mart, watching a screen that’s playing The Endless Summer Revisited. Huh.
