The Weekender
The Weekend Starts Here
The weekend is fully prepped for the podium.
|
THURSDAY APPROVAL RATING
There's karaoke, then there's karaoke with a "song" catalog of our soon-to-be-ex-president's most famous
sound bites set to a beat. And you thought performing "Bohemian Rhapsody" was absurd.
411: Oct 2, 7-10pm, free, MOCA Grand Avenue, 250 Grand Ave (S. of 2nd), Downtown, 213-626-6222 |
|
THURSDAY ROOFTOP
Thursdays at the Kress
After tonight's debate heard 'round the world, you'll need a bit of cold, hard certainty. And you're pretty
certain you'll partake of the gratis vodka at the kickoff for this new weekly bash.
411: Oct 2, vodka tasting 9pm-12am, third floor, The Kress, 6608 Hollywood Blvd (parking off Schrader), 323-785-5000 |
|
FRIDAY BY THE SLICE
Verrazano's Pizza Now Open
As a guardian of the city, you consider it your duty to sample all new pizza spots—especially when
they start throwing around words like "New York" and "authentic." You'll be the judge of that.
411: Verrazano's Pizza, 612 N. La Brea Ave (S. of Melrose), 323-933-1744 |
|
SUNDAY FLASHBACK
Once upon a time, you were king of the playground. This weekend's four-square championship will take you
back to those good old days, plus beer.
411: Oct 5, 2pm, The Montalban Theatre, 1615 N. Vine St (between Hollywood and Selma), RSVP here to play |
|
MONDAY MEAT
And if you'd like to go a bit further back, French-dip legend Philippe's hits the century mark on Monday. In
celebration, you can pick up a sandwich for a dime—and there's also five-cent coffee, if you feel like
really splurging.
411: Oct 6, 4-8pm, Philippe's, 1001 N. Alameda St (N. of Ord), Downtown, 213-628-3781 |
