FROM PERKS
If your walls could talk… they’d probably have plenty to say, but at some point they’d get around to mentioning how nice it’d be to have some more gallery-worthy photography hanging on them. Like these canvas prints from award-winning wildlife photog Randal Ford. You’re welcome, walls.
YES YOU CANNA
Maybe you’ll be at Coachella this year. Maybe you’ll be at CannaSpa at Coachella, a two-day spa, cocktail tasting and upscale-dining event with one incredibly lenient marijuana policy. Then again, maybe you’ll be at both, in a bold experiment to assess weed’s effect on listening to music.
NEIGHBORLY LOVE
Last month, we explored Avenue, the first nocturnal destination open at the Dream Hollywood. Now, Beauty & Essex and Tao are up and running on its flanks, respectively bringing a striking pawn-shop-inspired restaurant and Buddhist sushi hot spot to the block. Nice to see the neighbors getting along.
WESTSIDE STORY
The Corner is a new Santa Monica joint you’ll visit with friends after work for banh mi, burgers and a dram. Meanwhile, Santa Fe’s Tesuque Market is now supplying Venice with prepared sandwiches, cupcakes, blue corn pancake mix and tequila. The breakfast ideas are already flowing.
BREAK ON THROUGH
Nighthawk: Breakfast Bar has a new weekend happy hour full of things like bacon towers, benedict fries and $8 Tang mimosas. And wasn’t that you who famously said, “I’m not going to pay a lot for these Tang mimosas”?
SCHOTTS. SCHOTTS. SCHOTTS.
You know Schott. They basically invented the motorcycle jacket. And now, they’re inventing a La Brea location full of leather, nylon bombers and the full collection of the famous Perfecto Brand line. Maybe next they’ll invent a place in LA where you can wear a jacket.
Hadley Tomicki lives in Los Angeles. He is probably going nowhere on the 10 Freeway this very second.
