When you wish upon a weekend.
Your Perks: 1) A John Allan’s haircut, shampoo, facial massage, shoeshine and manicure, and the choice to not tell anyone about the manicure if you’d prefer. 2) Up to 65% off new swim trunks.

Remember when Alone sent you solo into a terrifying pitch-black basement around Halloween?

Tough news: you have to wear some clothes this summer. Good news: Silver Lake’s new shop Virgil Normal has gingham Bridge & Burn button-downs and Apolis trunks. Speaking of which, Apolis has a huge sale with short-sleeve shirts and shorts up to 80% off this weekend. So that’s more news.

Rice bowls. Maybe not the most exciting word duo on the planet. Until you learn they’re made Filipino-style by Patina’s old chef at a new place from the owner of Mignon and Papilles with longanisa sausage and slow-cooked jidori chicken. Then it’s like, whoa. Rice bowls.
You recently found the best new taco place. Every Tuesday, it serves crazy stuff like fried clam belly tostadas and lamb belly tacos that you go and eat with mezcal palomas. It’s called the Hungry Cat. Right, that Hungry Cat.
