Cupid is pointing his weekend at you.
May 19: your date with destiny, mud and a man known as Nitro—because we’re getting you 31% off the Gladiator Rock’n Run (plus a couple gratis beers at the finish). We’re also sending you to a spectacular ranch in Montana—with decked-out tents and camp butlers—and a Maxim subscription for $8.
Other people get Coachella tickets and... go to Coachella. But if you’ve got a few grand lying around, you’ll get a room at the Redbury Thursday night before you go, car service to and from the festival—and two all-access artist passes. Dre’s messenger is notoriously unreliable.
If your V-Day is looking a little crowded, consider Petit Ermitage. They’ve got a package for threesomes that includes a bottle of champagne, chocolates and dinner for three on the rooftop. If there are only two of you, they’ll give you an inflatable third person at check-in. Not kidding.
Inside Downtown’s densely packed home of cocktails, cheese carts and gelatinous scotch, the proprietors of Artisan House have somehow made room for a jazz band every Monday. It’s the kind of jazz band that covers anything from Paul Simon to Radiohead. Sort of the musical equivalent of gelatinous scotch.
You could do the whole prix fixe thing. Or you could reserve a table for two at Culver City’s old-timey saloon, where you’ll get chocolates and a giant punch bowl filled with bourbon, champagne and chartreuse liqueur. By the time it’s empty, you’ll know how you feel about each other.
