FROM PERKS
Coocepts uses state-of-the-art 3D printing to make really cool wireless lamps that look like lit-up moons, dandelions and city skylines. The moon lamps will definitely come in handy should you be interested in recreating last week’s eclipse. Or just interested in creating some extra reading light.
TWO FOR THE MONEY
Lunch, Thursday: Visit McFly’s, a daytime experience at Electric Owl offering fried chicken
sandwiches, pink lemonade and tater tots.
Dinner, Thursday: Hit Gesso from the Superba/Pitfire team, for the beautiful room, vintage
spirits cart, octopus putanesca, dry-aged ribeye and white clam pizza.
You can do stuff in between, of course.
NEIGHBOR DAY
Oh, look. Now you’re at Neighbor, a new restaurant and bar on Abbot Kinney. And you and a date look to be tucking into a mezcal drink and some lamb saddle vadouvan made by a Jean-Georges vet. That’s so you.
KIND OF A BIG DILLA
You considered leaving town this weekend. Then you heard that Delicious Pizza on Sunset is hosting Dilla’s Donuts, a J Dilla-inspired pop-up from Detroit’s Dilla’s Delights. And how Talib Kweli is playing free with Doug E. Fresh at their other location on Sunday. Probably one too many Dilla’s in there.
PARIS CAN’T WAIT
Things you’ll see at Downtown’s new clothing store, 13 Bonaparte:
1) Microfiber swim shorts.
2) Rare art and photo books.
3) A neon lamp and leather chairs.
4) Teflon and denim jackets.
5) Dead people. No, wait. Alive people.
STARCH SEARCH
There’s a Nomad vet inside this new Silver Lake place helping to provide you and your (possibly not-sober) friends with variations on the noodle world’s greatest hits. Like Thai khao soi, beef belly pho and Serrano ham ramen. And maybe they’ll do Freebird.
SHOW AND TELL
…all right here in this convenient roundup. You should also know that the real-life version of Jay Gatsby’s fictional mansion is up for sale. And that we brainstormed new strains of marijuana based on Netflix shows. That was fun.
Hadley Tomicki lives in Los Angeles. He is probably going nowhere on the 10 Freeway this very second.
