The weekend is rising from the ashes.

THURSDAY SALE-ING
Vince Sample Sale
Now that winter's almost here, that means fall weather may have finally arrived—so it's a good time
for you to stock up on some layering-friendly button-downs, sweaters and jackets from Vince at 50-75 percent off. Should tide you over until summer returns next
week.

THURSDAY SEAFOOD
Raw Bar at the Hall
Everybody has different ways to relieve post-workday stress—you prefer to order up some vino and tear
messily into some shrimp and tender King Crab Legs. The new raw bar in this hidden courtyard
brasserie is here for you.

FRIDAY FU MANCHU
Facial hair has gotten profound this month, now that growing a mustache is an act of charity. You've still got about 24 hours to
get yours filled out for the Avalon's benefit...where tickets to Hef's mansion are up for grabs for the most
noble above-the-lip accomplishment.
411: Nov 21, 9pm, Avalon, 1735 N. Vine St (between Hollywood and Yucca), Hollywood, tickets available here |
|
SATURDAY GAS PEDAL
As Detroit's big three hang in the balance, you now have your chance to ponder the possibilities of the open
road ahead. By which we mean your first look at the Ferrari California (the company's first retractable
hard-top convertible) and...lots of hybrids.
411: Nov 21-30, $10, Los Angeles Convention Center, 1201 S. Figueroa St (at 12th), Downtown |

SUNDAY SMALL PLATES
Recovery Lounge Menu at Nobu

drinks from the bar.
