Weekendophan coma.
Your Perks: 1) A cutting-edge scale that measures your body mass index, fat ratio, muscle mass... and, oh, weight. 2) A pocket-friendly phone battery charger. Stocking-size, we might add. 3) All the Rolex and Cartier watches a person could want. In gifting terms, the showstopper.
Sure, you could go to Wittmore today. But... you can get 30% off regular- and sale-priced clothes on Wittmore’s website while watching the game. Things you’ll need for a 76-degree December on the beach, like Oliver Spencer button-downs and chinos. Yeah. Black Friday is so tough.
Some people take Black Friday super literally. Like Hostaria del Piccolo, which is offering an all-black tasting menu with black kale soup, black cod, black tagliatelle with black tiger shrimp and a black vodka cocktail topped with black truffle caviar at both locations. That’s a lot of black.
You thought it was tricky helping relatives stream a movie last night. That’s nothing compared to the computer issues that arise in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Catch it tonight at the Egyptian. Then be thankful for your home electronics.
Two solid alternatives to more leftovers:
1) Sweet Rose Creamery. They’ve got limited quantities of butternut squash sage brittle
ice cream and spiced pumpkin ice cream pies.
2) Edoughble. It’s cookie dough you just... eat. They’re selling only 200 each of their
mint chocolate and holiday spiced flavors.
If you must venture anywhere near the Westfield Century City this weekend, you should know about Obicà’s safe haven of Negronis and white truffles—they’re putting those truffles on everything from beef tartare and pizza to poached eggs. You can probably come back another time for the stores.
