When it comes to dress shirts: always trust the Italians. Especially the good people at Gemelli, who fashion their shirts from fine Italian cotton in a selection of patterns that catch the eye—in a good way. Then trust Perks to knock a nice little chunk off the price.

It's Got Drinking and Smoking in the Name, So...
Here’s a massive West Coast-inspired group art show going down over a month at the typically crazy Think Tank Gallery. Go with friends for the LED mirror chamber, a Playboy-sponsored dive bar, live music, speed dating, escape rooms, live readings and art from 75 artists. Right. There’s art, too.

FRIC SHOW
A New Taco Rolls Into Town
At MV Grab & Go, you’ll now find a different kind of taco. It has a tortilla, sure. But that’s melded with a crispy, cheesy Italian frico, topped with an egg, then stuffed with meat, chayote and cherry tomatoes. They wisely neglected to call it “Frico Loco.”
