FROM PERKS
You probably know the renowned piece Under the Wave off Kanagawa, aka The Great Wave. What you might not know is that it’s from a series called Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji and that we have… at least a couple of those views as canvas prints.
BABY YOU’RE A SPIREWORK
Situate yourself at Spireworks’ grand opening tonight, from 6pm to 9pm, and Top Chef Seattle chef Kuniko Yagi will take care of dinner. To be clear, “take care of dinner” here means “bring you gratis kebab sandwiches, Baja-style or Peking-style.” Yes, that sounds like the accurate definition.
HUNGRY LIKE A WOLFGANG
Pro-Tip #697: When Wolfgang Puck opens a sleek midcentury bar next door to CUT, you make time in your schedule. Expect to be rewarded with Beverly Hills-appropriate bar food like seared wagyu skewers and truffle grilled cheese. And that’s all before the vintage Negroni cart (coming soon) rolls around for a visit.
PIZZA PLEASER
Nov 18 Meet O+O Sicilian Kitchen. This beachside beauty arrives with an open-air patio, mezcal-matcha cocktails and gorgeous plates bearing spicy salami pizzas, pistachio lamb meatballs and prawn carpaccio. If San Junipero had an Italian restauant, it would probably look like this.
Operation Snow Job
Winter is coming… to LA? The forecast involves blizzards, hot chocolate and penguin snuggies. It’s the microclimate at Snow LA, a nine-acre downhill tubing park with synthetic snow, drinks and an interactive snow globe light show. It’s the best way to experience winter without, you know, living somewhere cold.
BROOKLYN’S FINEST
The best thing to come out of Brooklyn in a good while is probably Roberta’s, the famed Bushwick pizzeria. They’re taking over Marvin wine bar for an entire Sunday, a Sunday in which you can pair Marvin’s stellar wine with Roberta’s wood-fired pies, if only for a day, if only for one beautiful day.
