Description
Mayweather, Pacquiao and Ali Signed These
A boxing robe signed by Ali. Trunks signed by Mayweather and Pacquiao. Boxing gloves signed by Tyson. That’s just a taste of the rare boxing memorabilia we’ve got waiting for you over on Perks.
MAGIC MOUNTAIN
Travis Lett Turns Japanese. Figuratively.
The Gjelina crew just opened a Japanese place inside a big black spaceship on Abbot Kinney. It’s spelled MTN but pronounced “mountain,” and deals in costly interpretations of izakaya fare like snapper sashimi, chicken karaage and pork ramen. Again, it’s “mountain.”

JUNE IN AUGUST
Southern Songs by the Seaside
Tennessee powerhouse Valerie June and soul legend Irma Thomas play a gratis show on the pier tomorrow. Watch them from the crowd. Or hear them beside friends and a picnic on the beach. Or while revolving 130-feet over the ocean on an illuminated Ferris wheel like a normal person.

STYLES AHEAD
New Month. New Shoes. New Head.
This is the weekend that you’ll grab Esquivel shoes at 50-80% off. This is the weekend that you’ll link up with Blind Barber’s truck for a gratis haircut in Culver City. This is the weekend that your brunch companions keep talking about your hair and feet.

RAPID PIE MOVEMENT
A Notable Brooklyn Pie Ventures West
Brooklyn’s Four & Twenty Blackbirds is in Venice this weekend, doling out its famous matcha custard and salty honey pies whole and by the slice at Jeni’s Splendid. It also made special pies for us, including a stone fruit granola one and a shaker citrus one. True. We enjoy citrus.

A Stronghold of Kir Royales and Foie Gras
You know that sublime little strip of patio in front of the Beverly Wilshire? Through August, that will be a lush garden where you can sit and have champagne cocktails along with foie gras, Maine lobster and ribeye with some friends. Peak summer: reached.
