PERK ALERT
The Super Bowl & Two Nights at Palihotel
Melrose Ave’s coolest new hideaway, Palihotel, just opened shop and we’re getting you first dibs on breaking it in (by
raiding the minibar, getting couples massages and more). Plus, your Super Bowl essentials: bacon bourbon caramel corn
(yes, it’s as delicious as it sounds) and booming surround sound speakers.
COMING UP ROSES
Presenting Tar & Roses
Tar & Roses. No, this isn’t an Oscar-bait flick starring Adrien Brody. It’s actually the
long-awaited Santa Monica restaurant from the former chef at Wilshire, and it’s full of wine, wild boar
charcuterie and wood-roasted pork knuckle. No word on knuckle sandwiches.

- Now open, Tar & Roses, 602 Santa Monica Blvd, 310-587-0700, see the menu
JEWELRY. DONE.
Some Valentine’s Day Help

off on their website. So you can take care of your V-Day obligations and quickly return to your fantasy
Oscar league. You’re nothing if not efficient.

MARTINIS, REVISED
Your Tequila Martinis Are Here

Bolero (with pineapple and lime). Take five, appletini.

MAN’S BEST FRIEND
Steak, a Movie... and a Dog
There’s a new breed of pet shop on the Westside. Its name: L.A. Love & Leashes. Its deal: a nonprofit
full of rescues, ready to adopt. So now after that steak-and-matinee date at Westside Pavilion, you can pick
up a pup. And suddenly it’s a walk-the-dog date.

- Now open, L.A. Love & Leashes, 10800 W Pico Blvd, 310-441-1150
COMME AGAIN
Comme Ça Adds a Pile of Burgers
The Comme Ça burger: you’ve had it before, and you’ll have it again. Soon. But first you’ll want to
try one of the new burgers they’re serving—like the Breakfast Burger, with pork sausage, an egg
and white gravy on an English muffin. It’s okay that you already had breakfast.
- 411:
- Tuesdays, 5:30-11pm, Comme Ça, 8479 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood, 323-782-1104
