The weekend is getting the band back together.
Meet your Perks: 1) Handsome Rolexes, Omegas and other iconic timepieces from Foundwell’s rare watch collection. 2) Gloriously giant bottles of Dom Pérignon for Thanksgiving/random Wednesdays. 3) 30% off a seriously pro-grade HD video camera from Fujita Japan. Go record yourself doing something ridiculous.
The four-course happy hour: an idea whose time has come. La Botte cleared some space for one big new communal table, and that’s the only place you can get a four-course tasting menu for $20 weeknights from 5 to 8pm—think Wagyu lasagna and mushroom gelato. As you often think.
Last time you were at the Sunset Junction Intelligentsia and needed an A.P.C. shirt and some Tellason Denim, you walked over to Mohawk General Store. But at the Intelligentsia in Pasadena, you usually end up denimless. Sad. Hey, here’s another Mohawk, just steps away from that Intelligentsia, too. Happy.
The problem with most Oktoberfest celebrations: far too little taxidermy around. So there’s just one place, really, where you’d want to do a five-course, German-beered lunch under a menagerie of mounted animal heads. That place is Norman Bates’s office. No. Wait. Saddle Peak Lodge.
The Saturday afternoon crowd at the Federal Bar is going to look a bit different this weekend when the Beard and Mustache Competition takes over. Basically, you’ve got two days to grow something amazing. Or two days until you get a beer and see some beards that look like Ferris wheels.
What with the holiday of horror coming up (no, not Thanksgiving), a drive-in screening of Poltergeist on some astroturf seems about right. Sure, there will be food trucks, but don’t expect a trick-or-treat situation. You just have to pay them.
