THURSDAY BRISKET
Tamarind Ave Deli Now Open
At the corner of Sunset and Tamarind, you've had your pizza and beer (Delancey), and you've had your mole
and margaritas (The
Mission Cantina). But now the building's owner also wants to feed you some brisket from a new
daytime deli. Twist your arm...
411: Tamarind Ave Deli, 1471 Tamarind Ave (at Sunset), Hollywood, 323-201-3954 |

THURSDAY EARLY START
Happy Hour at Akasha
You're all for the happy-hour concept (obviously), though the menus tend to be a bit...slim. Not so at
Akasha, finally joining the fold by discounting all pizzas, beers on tap, wines by the glass and specialty
drinks by half. That'll do.
411: Mon-Fri, 4-7pm, Akasha, 9543 Culver Blvd (at Washington), Culver City, 310-845-1700 |

FRIDAY REVELRY
The Spirit of Halloween at Maison 140

the women in the most alluring French maid costumes...411: Oct 31, 7-11pm, prizes at 9pm and 11pm, Maison 140, 140 Lasky Dr (S. of Wilshire), Beverly Hills, 310-407-7795 Trashy Lingerie Party at the Kress ...or the self-explanatory blowout at Hollywood's towering new nightclub... 411: Oct 31, 9pm-2am, The Kress, 6608 Hollywood Blvd (parking off Schrader), Hollywood, tickets and info here or at 866-824-8212 Halloween at the Roosevelt ...or perhaps a more sophisticated evening discussing current events over cocktails with your evening's eloquent emcee, Marilyn Manson. 411: Oct 31, 8pm-3am, The Roosevelt Hotel, 7000 Hollywood Blvd (at Orange), Hollywood, tickets and info here |

SATURDAY SKELETONS
And if you think the surreal spectacles are over, you've still got Day of the Dead, Hollywood-style.
By which we mean thousands of festive mourners in skeleton costumes, surrounded by intricate shrines to
departed relatives...and canceled TV shows.
411: $5, Nov 1, 4-11pm, 6000 Santa Monica Blvd (between Gower and Van Ness), Hollywood |

TUESDAY CHANGE
Election Results Viewing Party at WOW
It ends Tuesday. The race for president, that is, but also the "Hollywood, DC: Lights! Camera! Election!"
exhibit of more than forty artists. On Election Day you'll find a results viewing party (important)
and a Svedka open bar (more important).
411: Nov 4, 7pm, World of Wonder Storefront Gallery, 6650 Hollywood Blvd (at Cherokee), Hollywood |
