FROM PERKS
You know those movies you’ve been quoting over and over since the dawn of existence? The ones you’ve watched way too many times? Well, we have a few posters from those classic comedies autographed by their stars. Stars like Will Ferrell, Mike Myers, Chevy Chase, Cheech… and Chong.
MAY THE ’DORF BE WITH YOU
It’s time to take immediate action to ensure a productive 2017. This could mean making reservations right now for Waldorf Astoria’s June opening in Beverly Hills. Or securing reservations this minute for Hollywood’s forthcoming Star Wars cantina-inspired bar. It most likely doesn’t mean both.
NEVER CRY WOLFDOWN
The forces behind Forage are finally ready to reveal their passion project at the old Nicky D’s space in Silver Lake. It’s a charming restaurant involving stir-fried ramen, spicy hoisin ribs with steamed buns and Baked Alaska with ale, sake and pinot. It’s cool that you all share some passions.
GET LO
How to use Culver City’s new Hi-Lo Liquor Market:
1) Walk in and establish your own house account.
2) Proceed to check out the notable whiskeys, beers, Manhattan-making gift boxes and fancy sandwiches.
3) Consider putting something on the Underhill account.
4) Don’t.
CARM’ SCHOOL
You could be spending Saturday afternoon looking for parking at some mall. Or you could be spending it at Hollywood’s new La Carmencita, hoisting forkfuls of duck mole and tacofuls of smoked marlin. Somewhere there’s a subtle, life-changing hint buried within this message.
MAGIC PIKE
The Pikey knows you have things to do on Christmas Eve. So it’s luring you in with mincemeat ice cream, goose neck ragù and a gratis glass of spiced mulled wine just for popping by. They certainly know how to straighten out your priorities.
Hadley Tomicki lives in Los Angeles. He is probably going nowhere on the 10 Freeway this very second.
