MAMMA MIA
Mamma vs. Mamma at Marino
In this corner: a mom from Naples. And in this corner: a mom from Venice. Once the bell rings (note:
there’s no bell), they’ll face off... on your plate. Each of your six courses includes a dish from each
woman in her native city’s style. There are no losers here.

- Jan 12, $65-$100, Marino Ristorante, 6001 Melrose Ave, 323-466-8812, see the menu
BETTER HALF
Half-Off Suits and Sweaters at Unis
If you haven’t checked out the new Unis shop on La Brea yet, now’s the time—they’re clearing out
fall stuff at up to half off. Think streamlined suits, a bunch of casual-but-handsome sweaters and cords you
could sport anywhere. But not all at once.

- Ongoing, Unis, 138 S La Brea Ave, 323-424-4425
RED DAWN
Red Hill Opens in Echo Park
Grab a table at the super-casual new neighborhood spot from the Local chef, and soon you’ll be greeted by
some pulled-pork pappardelle and three-mushroom risotto. (Or not—the menu is changing frequently as of
now.) And eventually, lots of pickled things. They’re big into pickling here. A noble endeavor...

- Now open, Red Hill, 1325 Echo Park Ave, Echo Park
POSITIVE SIGNS
Furniture Made from LA Street Signs
Your mind tends to wander at stop signs. Like, hey, that stop sign could make a decent side table. Sort of
like these new one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture by Tim Delger, all made from LA signs. Maybe now your
friends will start observing the speed limit in your living room.
