The Weekender
The Weekend Starts Here
The weekend has cash stashed under the mattress.

THURSDAY HERBAL
Happy Hour at BLVD 16
You're not exactly known for arranging tea time—but when your tea comes in a glass of vodka for $6,
well, tea time it is. Wash it down with some half-price olives, charcuterie and tempura...but your pinkies
stay in.
411: Daily 4-7pm, BLVD 16 at Hotel Palomar, 10740 Wilshire Blvd (between Selby and Manning), Westwood, 310-474-7765 |
|
SATURDAY GAME DAY
Brats and Beer
The epicenter of football fandom may now be in Culver City, considering the $10 deal—beer, brat on a
bun, fries—now available Saturdays and Sundays at Rush Street through season's end. Keep the
beers coming while you watch the game, since all 750ml bottles are half-off. Touchdown, indeed.
411: Sat-Sun, 9:30am-7pm throughout football season, Rush Street, 9546 Washington Blvd (at Culver), Culver City, 310-837-9546 |
|
SUNDAY SALVATION
Your culinary cravings have taken you to the far reaches of the city, but never into the depths of an
ancient cathedral for a tasting blowout—until now. Worship might be a strong word, but you
wouldn't say no to some wine and food from Geoffrey's, Tanzore, Tasca and Falcon.
411: Sept 21, 6-9pm, $100, Vibiana, 210 S. Main St (at 2nd), Downtown, 310-286-3383, ext. 806 |
|
SUNDAY STILL SUMMER
BBQ Sundays at Ford's Filling Station
One of LA's perks—summer's a state of mind. When two meats (Tuscan sausage, pulled pork tenderloin
brochette) and two sides (succotash red potato salad, corn on the cob) are $18, starting barbecue season in
September makes perfect sense.
411: Sundays starting Sept 21, 3pm, Ford's Filling Station, 9531 Culver Blvd (at Cardif), Culver City, 310-202-1470 |

TUESDAY CONFESSIONS
Frank Warren at USC
If you haven't yet submitted an anonymous postcard confession to Post-Secret mastermind Frank Warren...someone's probably submitted one
about you. When he shows up on Tuesday to discuss the phenomenon he birthed, you can ask him yourself.
411: Sept 23, 7:30pm, free, Bovard Auditorium, USC, 3620 McClintock Ave (at Downey), Downtown |
