The weekend is nominated just to be honored.
Your Perks: 1) 64% off a fitted button-down from Jared Lang. Prepare for compliments. 2) A palm-size drone. Need we say more? 3) A leather bag for winter. Use it to travel somewhere warmer.
You’ve got some tough lunch decisions to make in Chinatown these days. Chego, Pok Pok and now Ramen Champ, a tiny little spot offering pork, chicken and vegan ramen from the Eggslut guy. Luckily, you eat lunch a lot.
Historically, it was easy to get too distracted by Hamasaku’s sashimi and genetically gifted clientele to pay much attention to how the place looked. But the modern new blond-wood-y room is much more likely to command your undivided attention. And you... wait, who’s that?
Unbelievable, but Larchmont is yet to have a casual neighborhood place with a giant alligator on the wall. But now it does. And there’s also a long list of small-batch whiskeys, plus chicken and waffles and pizza from Wood & Vine’s old chef. If that interests you.
Your suggested Mexican-food itinerary for Saturday:
Lunch: You’re Baldwin Hills–bound for flautas with mole and cochinita pibil at a new
stall from the much-loved chefs at Bell’s Casita Mexicana.
Dinner: To Venice for oak-grilled-steak tacos, asada fries and calamari tacos from the
Oscar’s Cerveteca crew at Clutch.
Sunday: Sequel.
James Dean relaxing between takes. Marilyn smoldering at some gala. Brando chuckling. Mack Sennett Studios is displaying pretty amazing photos of classic movie stars by Phil Stern on Sunday. You could maybe look at them all day. We just mean that literally. This thing goes all day.
