FROM PERKS
This is Orbitkey. Orbitkey is a handsome strip of leather that keeps your keys organized and snug so you don’t sound like a toolbox falling down a flight of stairs every time you run to catch the morning train. We believe the word you’re looking for is “ingenious.”
THIS LITTLE FIGGY
You think you know Fig. Then Yousef Ghalaini pump-fakes and spit-roasts a whole suckling pig and prepares whole grouper tonight on an absolutely enchanting secret patio behind the restaurant. And you wonder if you really know anybody at all.
NOCTURNAL ANIMALS
If you can’t let your hair down at an adults-only, ’80s and ’90s-themed party at the zoo, then humanity may have no hope. Only those brave enough to don baggy jeans, eat food truck barbecue and nod their heads to some insufferable Backstreet Boys song will know. Report back.
AT LARGE
Fact: Things come bigger in the desert.
Fact: Like the 10-pound, foot-tall donut delivered to your room with milkshakes as part of
the new “DoNut Disturb” package at JW Marriott in Palm Desert.
Fact: It’s for people who really enjoy donuts.
GARTEN STATE
Wirtshaus kicks off Oktoberfest this Saturday with a day of keg-tapping, contests in stein-holding and German costumes, live traditional music and lots of lederhosen. And they’re doing this for six weeks. Do not even attempt to keep up.
BULL MARKET
Bull & Dragon has been doing weed-infused dinners since before it was popular. And quasi legal. Anyway, now it’s debuting a series of cannabis brunches in Venice. Each meal includes four courses with mimosas. And an included afternoon of probably not fulfilling your other plans.
LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX
It’s called The Naughty Nineties, and we had an enlightening conversation with the book’s author. Also, in case you missed it: we talked through the pilot of David Simon and George Pelecanos’s new HBO show, The Deuce, and ranked the people causing the most panic in the White House this week. Enjoy.
Hadley Tomicki lives in Los Angeles. He is probably going nowhere on the 10 Freeway this very second.
