It’s now time to secure reservations for the September 5 opening of Dialogue, a 3rd Street Promenade-based tasting menu restaurant from Dave Beran, the James Beard-winning former executive chef of Chicago’s Next. Otherwise, someone else may eat your pretty little dinner.
Thursday
ALONG CAME POLYNESIA
Wolfgang Puck, Struck With Tiki Fever
When you bring a date to Cut Lounge over the next few weeks, you’ll find it has gone full Tiki on you. Suddenly there are Mai Tais and Scorpion Bowls. Malasadas and Kula Pork. Steak tartare and grilled cheese sandwiches. Those last two are considered exotic in Beverly Hills.
Friday
ROLL CALL
World on Wheels. It's Back.
Legendary local roller rink World on Wheels is back. And it looks much more 2017 than 1983. You probably want to come on weekend nights, when the kiddies go home and you can skate in circles wearing crazy, colorful outfits to Kool & the Gang. Like adults.
Saturday
BROAD CITY
Five Bands, Multiple Artists and One Shiny New Museum
On Saturday, the Broad is planning one of those nighttime shindigs that museums like to hold. There will be musicians like Xiu Xiu and A Place to Bury Strangers. Plus poetry readings, interactive exhibits, performance art and access to the full museum. Yes, even that Bubbles the Chimp sculpture.
Assuming you use this THC-infused bath bomb, of course. While you’re at it, you might as well make your own blend of Johnnie Walker, and check out this week’s Trump administration power rankings. You might be surprised to find out who (or what) made the list.
Hadley Tomicki lives in Los Angeles. He is probably going nowhere on the 10 Freeway this very second.
