SCHOOL DAYS
Back to School. Tonight, Brad Garrett takes the lead role in a live reading of the Rodney Dangerfield classic at LACC that includes a Q&A with the cast. So you can finally ask how the Academy managed to overlook it in ’86.
JEAN STREETS
Local denim makers DSTLD have officially popped up in Culver City’s Platform. Their entire online collection will be present to try on in the real world, with actual people there to fit you and give you a 10% discount on your in-store orders. Must have been something you said.
SHAKER, RATTLE AND ROLL
Broken Shaker is finally ready to serve you and your friends some melon Sichuan gomme caipirinhas and Mrs. Roper cocktails on top of Downtown’s Freehand hotel. How you made it through summer without such gommes, we’ll never know.
GLEAMING THE CUBA
Cuban bakery Porto’s is popping up in Century City with a concept called Doña Dulce that promises its guava-cheese pastries, cappuccino mousse and fruit-filled besito cookies as part of the Annenberg’s “Cuba Is” exhibit. They taste better without driving forever.

Spring already has a restaurant. It’s called Spring. But now there’s a place inside of that called Springside serving lamb sirloin and Maine lobster, along with European beer and Boulevardier cocktails. You always said it needed one of these.
UP IN SMOKE
We answered that question, and many more, in last week’s fall TV preseason questionnaire. This week, we dove into the brave new world of marijuana-related sex products, as well as the ten people causing the most panic for the Trump administration right now. Enjoy responsibly.
Hadley Tomicki lives in Los Angeles. He is probably going nowhere on the 10 Freeway this very second.
