The Weekender
Liquid Brunch, Tokyo Style and Underground Gin
The weekend isn't spilling about its costume yet. But it's good.

THURSDAY IN TRANSLATION
KZO at Legion
Long after you honed your
California-meets-Tokyo style, the Larchmont crowds will now follow suit by checking out the
five-day KZO pop-up shop inside Legion. You're leading the international pack as always...
411: Oct 23-27, Legion, 141 1/2 N. Larchmont Blvd (S. of Beverly), Hancock Park, 323-871-1900 |
|
FRIDAY HALF FULL
Soup Kitchen at the Edison
This just in—times are tough. But free tomato soup and grilled cheese might help, along with a 35-cent
glass half full of bourbon or gin. A cut of the night's proceeds go to the Downtown Mission, so the warm
feeling in your stomach isn't just from the soup (or bourbon).
411: Fridays 5-7pm, The Edison, 108 W. 2nd St, #101 (at Main), Downtown, 213-613-0000 |
|
SATURDAY SUIT UP
If you're in the market for a new suit, we suggest paying the Varvatos crew a visit this weekend—find
one you like, and the shirt and tie's on them. As are the drinks in your hand while you weigh your options.
Take your time...
411: Oct 24-26, John Varvatos at the Malibu Country Mart, 23410 Civic Center Way, Suite 9B (at the PCH), 310-317-8487 |

SUNDAY LIQUID BRUNCH
Brunch at Little Dom's
The eastside favorite's new brunch menu now includes $10 bottles of Prosecco (or the house red). Consider it
a new start to an old tradition—when you move to sister restaurant Dominick's later for the generally blowout-ish Sunday Supper,
toast with another $10 bottle of red.
411: Every Sat-Sun, 8am-3pm, Little Dom's, 2128 Hillhurst Ave (between Los Feliz and Franklin), Los Feliz, 323-661-0055 |
|
MONDAY MELROSE-FREE
Urth Caffe Opens Downtown
At Urth's latest outpost, you can expect all the organic coffee, oversized smoothies and generous patio
space you've come to expect from the Melrose legend. Probably a few less actors wearing knit skullcaps in
90-degree weather, though, which is fine by you.
411: Soft-opens Oct 27, Urth Caffe, 451 S. Hewitt St (S. of 4th), Downtown, 213-797-4536 |
