            The Perfect Pour of Whiskey, Every Time

Depending on who you ask, there aren’t many things in life better than a good pour of whiskey. Except for a
good pour of whiskey with a jumbo ice ball that’s been perfectly formulated to make any pour of whiskey
better. Like these from the Original Whiskey Ball Co. that we’ve got for up to 21% off.

JUST DESSERTS

            You Always Said Pork Belly Should Be More Like Churros

Tonight, chef Kyle Schutte debuts Revision, a conceptual dinner pop-up featuring savory dishes inspired by
desserts. Think recipes like pork belly with churro-puffed skin and chipotle dulce de leche. And
vanilla-dusted Hamachi influenced by red velvet. Wait, whoa.

Thursday

CROIX MEETS WORLD

            Pamplemousse. So Much Better With Booze.

Are you or the one you’re dating a little LaCroix obsessed? Contentment may be found at Westwood’s the
Hideout, where an all-LaCroix cocktail menu is being served poolside. Maybe you’ll do the French Kiss with
cognac, amaro, lemon and LaCroix berry. Or just have a LaCroix neat, no chaser.

Friday

SHORT CIRCUIT

            The Best of the Best Short Films

The Oscars are over. But you still want to sit in darkness judging films on their style, story and merit.
Fine. The LA Short Film Festival offers you the best in comedy, drama, horror, documentary and other genres
running under an hour this weekend. Come Monday, you’re on your own.

Saturday

PIER REVIEW

            Smorgasburg by the Sea

Smorgasburg, Downtown’s bonanza of viral eats, is heading to the Santa Monica Pier on Saturday. There,
you’ll find all of its mesquite-grilled lobsters, Indian tacos and small-batch mozzarella sticks served
right by the sea. Along with great ideas for your reboot of one of those ’80s movies where people switch
bodies.

Monday

EMPIRE OF THE BUN

            A Burger Pop-Up From Dominique Ansel

Dominique Ansel is turning part of his restaurant, 189, into the Dom’s Burgers pop-up for the week. Expect
four kinds of burgers (including lamb and fried chicken varieties), plus a faux outdoor park setup that
features a lemonade stand, a nuts cart and fake pigeons. Feel the Hollywood magic.
