The Weekender
The Weekend Starts Here
The weekend doesn't require regulation.
|
THURSDAY FAR-REACHING POWER
The legendary Beverly Hills steaks-and-studio-heads den known as the Grill on the Alley has seen more
deals than Howie Mandel. When you're in the neighborhood, this new Thousand Oaks outpost to the north is
like that one, only...not.
411: Now open at the Promenade at Westlake, 120 E. Promenade Way, Westlake Village, 805-418-1760 |
|
THURSDAY THROW ONE BACK
The Beverly at Crustacean
But if you and your date prefer to keep your meals (and martinis) in Beverly Hills, the city has just earned
the ultimate honor—there's now a drink named after it. You might stick with your usual, but so you
know, her city-in-a-glass tastes like vodka, peach and pomegranate. Better than smog.
411: Now available at Crustacean, 9646 S. Santa Monica Blvd (at Bedford), Beverly Hills, 310-205-8990, and other area restaurants |
|
FRIDAY PLASTIC
It's that time of year again, when everything in both Fred Segal stores gets discounted by half. So
you won't need a bailout on Saturday.
411: Starts Sept 26 at 8100 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood, 323-651-4129, and 420 Broadway, Santa Monica, 310-395-9792 |
|
FRIDAY LACE UP
Anybody can run a marathon, but sprinting all the way up the tallest office building west of the
Mississippi—in under 10 minutes, if all goes well—is a bit more impressive.
411: Sept 26, on-site registration begins at 2pm with donation, US Bank Tower, 633 W. Fifth St (at Grand), Downtown |
|
SUNDAY TO THE STREETS
Venice's liveliest street will get considerably livelier Sunday when it shuts down for a beer garden, punk
bike polo and three stages of music. You'll be at the stage taken over by the decidedly un-Venetian (but
pro-good music) Hotel Cafe.
411: Sept 28, 10am-6:30pm, Abbot Kinney Blvd between Venice and Main |
