The Weekender
The Weekend Starts Here
The weekend is worried about Kanye.

THURSDAY BANH MI
Viet Noodle Bar Expands
If there's one thing you want from your favorite Eastside noodle bar, it's...sandwiches. You can now get
your banh mi on a Vietnamese baguette in the slim new corridor next door.
411: Viet Noodle Bar, 3133 Glendale Blvd (between Glenfeliz and Edenhurst), Atwater Village, 323-906-1575 |
|
SATURDAY RUB
It's been too long since you've gotten to your favorite barbecue spot (if it was yesterday, it's been too
long), so it's good to know you can find a few choice meat havens under one roof this weekend. Or at least
on the same sand.
411: Sept 13-14, noon-6pm, $10 admission (food not included), Santa Monica Beach (next to the pier), Santa Monica, 310-709-3969 |
|
SATURDAY VINO
Time has come once again for your favorite kind of sale—one of the city's best wine shops unloading
the goods at up to 80 percent off. That's five bottles for the price of one, which makes you suddenly like
math again.
411: Sept 13-14, 9am-5pm, Wally's Wines & Spirits, 2107 Westwood Blvd (N. of Olympic), Westwood, 310-475-0606 |
|
SUNDAY WINGSPAN
A giant gin-filled basement is the last place you'd expect to be attacked by birds—so hopefully
Tippi Hedren feels safe when she shows up to watch the screening of her Hitchcock classic with
you.
411: Sept 14, 6pm, $20, The Edison, 108 W. 2nd Street #101 (between Spring and Main), Downtown, 213-613-0000 |
|
MONDAY DEBUT
The Corner Opens
New owners have taken over the former Doughboys, and will soon add beer and wine—until then, make do
with the Pressed Jacks, which are huge buttermilk pancakes filled with meats and cheese,
pressed on a panini grill, then topped with syrup or gravy. But not both, because that would be
excessive.
411: Opens to the public Sept 15, 1160 N. Highland Ave (at Lexington), Hollywood, 323-462-2220 |
