The weekend is staring you right in the face.
Your Perks: 1) Half off a military-style boot camp. This is where we separate the men from the... men who are averse to working out like they’re in the Navy SEALs. 2) 64% off a fitted button-down from Jared Lang. Prepare for compliments. 3) A palm-size drone. Need we say more?
You get a bagel. You get some smoked fish. You get some latkes with caviar. You... just keep eating, really. That’s what you do at Russ & Daughters Café. Only tonight, you’ll do so in the presence of a jazz trio, and with cocktails. Hope that’s okay.
Let’s lay out some simple facts here:
—You don’t live in LA.
—You can’t have the mind-blowing fresh jams or boudin blanc from Sqirl now, since it is, in fact, in
LA.
—Sqirl is taking over El Rey and Morgenstern’s next week, and tickets are waiting now.
Do with these facts what you will.
You remember the Marina Abramović exhibit, where you could sit across from her and just stare for as long as you wanted. Well, this is like that, but with extremely talented improv comedian and musician Reggie Watts, and for only five minutes at a time. It’s all he needs, really.
At Hickoree’s: Japanese goodness, ridiculously handsome ties and flawless anoraks are
yours for a song this weekend.
At Morrison Hotel Gallery: Basically every great piece of rock photography that’s ever
been published in book form is yours for... a song this weekend.
If you want to get up: By day, you’ve got a rooftop café. By night, you’ve got somewhere to have your next party. It’s called Upper Story, and here are the photos to prove it. Daytime rooftop cafés: an idea whose time has come.
