THURSDAY TACOS
New Happy Hour at Frida
To inaugurate your holiday festivities properly (by which we mean early), stop into Frida for a $10 taco
tasting platter, with five varieties from asada to chorizo on the plate. You'll probably want a $5 margarita
to go with each one.
411: Weekdays, 3:30-6:30pm, Frida, The Americana at Brand, 750 Americana Way (at Brand), Glendale, 818-551-1666 |

SATURDAY SKETCHES
After you meet Austrian redhead artist Mercedes Helnwein at her opening, say hello to your host Jason "My
Name is Earl" Lee—he named his kid Pilot Inspektor, so you can be confident he'll bring along some
interesting creative types.
411: Opening reception Aug 30, 8-11pm, Merry Karnowsky Gallery, 170 S. La Brea (between 1st and 2nd), 323-933-4408 |

MONDAY RAT PACK
Sinatra Mondays at Crown Bar
It's not like you need another reason to drop by Crown Bar. But Rat Pack reincarnate crooner Max Vontaine is
giving you one anyway. Well, him and the martinis...
411: Mondays, 8-11pm, Crown Bar, 7321 Santa Monica Blvd (between Fuller and Greenacre), West Hollywood, 323-882-6774 |

TUESDAY RETURN
Peach Pit Menu at Kokomo Cafe
Sure, you'll probably miss Tuesday's premiere of the new 90210 spinoff. But that's no reason to
avoid a free Mr. Wilson Burger, named in honor of West Beverly High's new principal and served in
the real restaurant standing in for the Peach Pit.
411: Peach Pit menu items free Sept 2, 2-4pm, Kokomo Cafe, 7385 Beverly Blvd (at Martel), 323-933-0773 |

TUESDAY PLANNING AHEAD
The Godfather Double Feature
And at the end of it all, you've got work to do. Like scooping up tickets now for a theatrical
rarity—The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II, on loop at the ArcLight for seven
straight days in a couple weeks. Guess they've made you an offer you can't refuse...
411: Sept 19-25, ArcLight Hollywood, 6360 Sunset Blvd (between Ivar and Vine), Hollywood, 323-464-1478 |
