Meet the Valentijn raincoat. We designed it exclusively in collaboration with custom clothiers Sene just for you. It’s part modern mac, part fishtail parka and entirely ready to shelter you from any lingering showers in style. And because each is custom-tailored, yours will be the only one like it.
GRATITUDE ADJUSTMENT
Turmeric Mules in Beverly Hills
Ways that Gratitude differs from its sister, Café Gratitude: 1) It’s notably a bit more upscale. 2) There are Turmeric Mules from bartender Jason Eisner. 3) Patio. So much patio. 4) It opened today in Beverly Hills. 5) Other ways.
Friday
FISH LIST
Two Chefs Dive Deep Into Seafood
This weekend, Mark Peel’s Bombo will suddenly become Mark Peel’s Prawn, serving fish-and-chips and lobster rolls to Downtown. Meanwhile, Phillip Frankland Lee is similarly neck deep in the seafood game, opening his eponymous Crab Company for lobster rolls and chowder in Encino. Sounds like you’ve got some driving to do.
Saturday
TURKISH DELIGHT
Sabah + Abbot Kinney = Your Summer Shoes
Starting Saturday, you’ll find Sabah’s handmade Turkish leather slippers in their own dedicated Abbot Kinney space. A lot of them. And one can only dream this translates to fewer open toes beside you in the line at Abbot’s Habit.
ART AND SOUL
A Veritable Landfill of Art
The artist who inspired Banksy’s “Dismaland” has big plans for LA this week. He’s turning a Chinatown gallery into an “art landfill” where guests will have to wade through signed, limited-edition prints to find their way to his large-scale works. Best landfill ever?
Sunday
SHADE IN AMERICA
Bloody Marys by the Pool. By the Ocean.
There’s a new Sunday pool party at Shade Redondo Beach. And you can go. There will be DJs, cocktails made in French presses, poolside Bloody Marys, Palos Verdes views and splashing. Lots and lots of splashing.
Hadley Tomicki lives in Los Angeles. He is probably going nowhere on the 10 Freeway this very second.
