The weekend is hungry for more.
PERKS
1 New Perk
This week, we're getting together with J.Crew to give you a chance at a whirlwind weekend in New York,
complete with two nights of downtown revelry and a $2000 J.Crew gift card. If for some reason you want to
sleep, we'll also set you up in a penthouse suite at the Royalton.

GET HAPPY
Five to Nine Happy Hour at Cameo Bar
Nine to five—you know the deal. But five to nine—that's when you hit the Viceroy pool's new
happy hour for food and
drink priced from $5 (beer called Mama's Little Yella Pils) to $9 (Halibut Tacos).
Thursdays go until closing, thereby revising your Friday workday—maybe 11ish to five.
- 411:
- Mon-Fri, 5-9pm (until 1am Thurs), Cameo Bar, 1819 Ocean Ave, 310-260-7500
FLESH
Circus Sale at Coco de Mer
Step right up to this classy smut den's three-ring sale—lingerie from the likes of La Perla is going
out at 75 percent off, and the shopgirls will be dressed in circus attire to move things along. They may not
be cracking whips, but they'll sell you one.
- 411:
- Oct 9-11, Coco de Mer, 8618 Melrose Ave (at Huntley), 310-652-0311
ACTION
Movie Wardrobe Sale at the Roosevelt
Over at the Roosevelt, while tourists shop for cheap T-shirts outside, you—ever the insider—can
step into the hotel for…cheap T-shirts. Important distinction: all the clothes at this sale come from
movies like The Last Samurai and The Matrix. If you see a leather trench, you know what to
do.
- 411:
- $5 admission, Oct 10-12, The Roosevelt, 7000 Hollywood Blvd, 818-812-6068
MORE WINE
Flight Club at Rustic Canyon
Each Monday at Rustic Canyon's Flight Club, the night's special comes paired with a whole wine flight
instead of just one glass. This week it's Coq au Vin with four gems from the Rhône Valley,
which obviously is just as badass as beating the hell out of a stranger in some basement.
- 411:
- Mondays, Rustic Canyon, 1119 Wilshire Blvd (E. of 11th), 310-393-7050
DEBUT
Thyme Café and Market Opens
On a barren patch of Santa Monica road, a pristine new café and market (by which we mean respectable
lunch spot) awaits you—featuring goods like a Steak Sandwich With Horseradish Aioli and a
Grilled Cheese With Tomato, Bacon and Avocado. And if you want dinner, you can take it home in a
box.
- 411:
- Opens Oct 13, 7am-7pm daily, 1630 Ocean Park Ave (E. of 16th), 310-399-8800
Only what you need to know.
