The weekend is having a good hair weekend.
The well-worn ruby-and-gold Los Feliz institution is pulling out all the stops for tonight's eye-popping birthday festivities—fake twins doing Chinese burlesque, two Kogi trucks (one Korean BBQ, one shaved ice), $2 beers and $5 drinks all night. The memories will be priceless, if you remember them.
Gift shopping may be unavoidable, but it doesn't have to be unbearable. Now you can follow up your stroll through Marc Jacobs with…a Maker's Marc Jacobs up the street at Comme Ça. One of these $10 twists on a classic Manhattan and you're ready to get back to it. Or maybe one more.
The Grove's new Web concierge, operable on any mobile phone, can help you call a cab, scour sales, summon a bellman to handle your bags and, most important, avoid the Pratt-Montag book signing.
If you've forgotten what the word "recession" even means, Aubrey McClendon—considered by many to be America's greatest wine collector—is unloading some 3000 bottles from his secret stash, including a full original wood case of 1959 Lafite Rothschild. That will be one expensive bender.
Inside the Roosevelt, 18 bucks now gets you all the jazz, salmon, yogurt, pastries and Chocolate-Covered Cheesecake you want. Another 10 adds an entrée like Short-Rib Hash and Poached Egg. Oh, and another 10 gets you bottomless Bloody Marys. Call it your new value meal.
