The true meaning of weekend.
Your Perks: 1) Up to 25% off pocket-size battery packs—so you’ll never have dead-phone anxiety again. 2) Sleek, Swedish-style leather briefcases and bags from Oppermann. 3) A stunning seven-speed bike that folds up in 10 seconds flat. Yes, we counted.
You’ve had a dark 10 months. Oh, everything’s fine, just... your world kind of ended when Ricky’s Fish Tacos left Silver Lake. Good news: Ricky got a truck. And it’ll be parked right back at his old address. Every time you eat a taco, an angel gets its wings.
It’s cold. It’s hot. It’s raining. Turns out you might need some insulated layers to get through this winter thing. Huh. Anyway, Rag & Bone’s got near-endless wool-suede pullovers and down-filled nylon jackets at 30% to 70% off. Good timing.
You could stand around at a party in your ugly sweater—or you could run a 5K in it. The Ugly Sweater Run is happening at a Downtown park, and there’s beer and hot chocolate at the finish line. Where you’ll stand around in your sweater.
Bru’s Wiffle handled your mornings with churro waffles, even if your “mornings” started a bit post-noon. The owner’s new Westwood spot is for when you actually want post-noon lunch: wood-grilled Angus burgers and jidori chicken banh mi. Or as some call them, not-waffles.
Some people lie low with relatives on December 24. Others carbo-load. Assuming you’re in the latter camp (the next day’s unwrapping gets intense), call up Cecconi’s now and preorder the one-night-only Timpano—it’s basically a giant cheesy cake filled with rigatoni, eggs, Bolognese, salami and meatballs. So not really cake.
