The weekend is bottomless.
MIDDAY
Upper West Launches Lunch
The Westside's latest lofty restaurant has got the 27-foot bar, the open kitchen and the red meat. But it
didn't have lunch—until today. Your Upper West Burger (topped with goat cheese, caramelized
onions and arugula on toasted challah) awaits.

- Begins today, Upper West, 3321 W Pico Blvd, Santa Monica, 310-586-1111, see the menu
DIVE IN
Happy Hour Expands at Backstage
Happy hour has been upgraded at Culver City's indisputably finest dive bar. They've added an extra hour each
night, and Sundays too—which means you never again have to go 24 hours without a $2 beer, $3 well drink or
half-price heap of mac and cheese.
- 411:
- Now 4-8pm nightly, Backstage, 10400 Culver Blvd, Culver City, 310-839-3892
WOOLLY
Shopping with Sheep
Generally speaking, you're always up for a little total Norwegian insanity. So you'll want to drop into
bright-clothes purveyor Moods of Norway on Saturday, where they'll be celebrating one year in business with
gratis champagne, waffles... and some live sheep. They have different party traditions in Oslo.
- 411:
- May 8, 11am-5pm, Moods of Norway, 113 S Robertson Blvd, 310-271-7172
ANOTHER BELLINI, MOM?
Lobster and Bottomless Bloodys
This is the first year you'll find a Mother's Day brunch happening on Wilshire's
sprawling-yet-still-remarkably-hidden patio, and they're bringing Chocolate Croissants and
Lobster Benedict. There's also going to be an open bar, just in case you could use some endless
mimosas, Bellinis and Bloody Marys to go with the totally-not-stressful conversation...
- 411:
- May 9, 11am-3pm, $55, Wilshire, 2454 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, 310-586-1707
WIG
Mother's Day Goes Psycho
But if you're looking for a truly unique way to pay tribute to the woman who gave you life, Cinefamily has
come up with a doozy. Sunday night they're screening all three Psycho films, and guys who show up
dressed as their mothers will get in free. Really.

- May 9, 7:30pm, $12, The Silent Movie Theatre, 611 N Fairfax Ave, 323-655-2510, tickets here
