It’s officially summer. Not because of the weather—because finally you can get a bunch of spiked snow
cones at a beachside hotel. You’ll probably want the carrot-rosemary concoction, whose key ingredient is
nine ounces of whiskey. And ice. The ice is important, too.

BARNEYS RUBBLE
Just a Ton of Sharp Gear, on the Cheap
If you just looked into your closet and you’re suddenly tired of everything you own—a) huh, and b) good
timing. Barneys is hosting a pretty giant blowout, with everything from Rag & Bone shirts to A.P.C.

LESS IS MO
Mo-chica Is Reborn. Discuss.
So, Mo-chica. Best Peruvian food since the dawn of mankind, or of Peru, or whatever. You may have heard of
it. And now it’s in a new spot—bigger, graffiti-er and now with sneakers hanging from the ceiling.
Finally, Chef Zarate heard your cries vis-à-vis ceiling sneakers.

Now open, Mo-chica, 514 W 7th St, Downtown, 213-622-3744
BLONDES PREFERRED
Your Week with Marilyn
Film festivals are a dime a dozen in this town, but there’s only one devoted solely to seven nights of
Marilyn Monroe. Tomorrow’s kickoff at the Chinese—Some Like It Hot, of course—includes a
look-alike contest, and the first 200 get in for free. You always wanted to surround yourself with Marilyns.
You’ve got your brunch go-tos, and you’ve got your wine bar go-tos. In the interest of streamlining, you
should know that Barbrix is now taking care of both—with crab hash, banh mi and your more standard bacon
and eggs... on top of a half-pound burger. PS: the wine didn’t go anywhere...

Sat-Sun, 11am-3pm, Barbrix, 2442 Hyperion Ave, Silver
Lake, 323-662-2442
