The weekend is thinking inside the box.
PERKS

It's too hot for stubble, so Perks is bringing you a gift card and a free starter kit from Art of Shaving,
including a badger brush and an aftershave balm. Think of it as extreme exfoliation.

BY THE FOOT
Happy Hour at dtox
You don't ordinarily get a foot massage at happy hour, but at this spa's third birthday party you'll have
the 20-minute Men in Boots, and she'll have the Girls on Heels—after a spin through
the in-house wine bar. Further retoxing will ensue at the Bigfoot Lodge next door.

PRE-PARTY
Fancy Yard Sale at Apartment 3
Let's say you're about to hit the Sunset Junction street fair, but suddenly realize you're looking far too
un-hipster-y (and also, you're far too sober). Not to worry. Just up the street, Apartment 3 is offloading
tons of vintage for under $20. With free booze.

Market-to-Grill BBQ at Hotel Palomar
If you're looking to see how far $15 cash can take you, the Palomar is up to the challenge. Non-guests can
now drop by the pool on Saturday afternoons for a BBQ buffet of market-inspired goods like Fennel-Rubbed
Lollipop Lamb Chops. And you don't even have to clean the grill.
