The weekend is coming down the stretch.
We’ve got your exclusive VIP ticket to a massive Kentucky Derby viewing party at the LA Athletic Club (endless mint juleps included). Plus, we’ve booked you a three-hour grooming session, including craft beer and a scalp massage. Finally, exclusive access to the season’s hottest accessory: lighter cufflinks.
This just in: bars will be slinging a lot of margaritas today. For a more refined Cinco de Mayo, try the one-night-only taco bar set up at BLD—think Smoked Pork Posole and housemade tortilla shells for $15. And yes, they’ll have margaritas.
You’ve been in the market for some new wrist candy. Here to help: the Swiss watchmaking brand Hublot, opening the doors of its shiny new stone-and-leather shop in Beverly Hills. FYI, the watches are endorsed by the Miami Heat. Which we guess is better than being endorsed by the Mavs.
So Friday is the 50th birthday of our patron saint, George Clooney. Celebrate at the Lake Como–inspired Locanda del Lago with The Clooney (it’s gin, grapefruit, blood orange and Aperol) by the glass ($8) or by the carafe ($20). Go carafe—that’s how George would do it.
To continue your circuit of new wine-bar brunches, you’ll want to think about Vintage Enoteca this time around. Show up for some Elvis Bruschetta (yes, with peanut butter, bacon, honey and banana), and for $12 you can keep the new bottomless Blackberry Sangria coming. It was that or a jumpsuit.
Sunday’s the day—the day to hit one of the Westside’s best patios for an epic brunch involving steak and eggs, piles of cookies and a Bloody Mary bar open for as many rounds as you like. Note: if Mom happens to be in town, you should probably consider bringing her along.
