FROM PERKS
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.
HOT RODD
Rodd & Gunn is a menswear label from New Zealand. They must have tired of all those sheep and green pastures, as they’re now open in Century City, selling their leather shoes, luggage, polos and pants to us ready Angelenos. Who will need sweaters. Someday.
INK PIECE
Michael Voltaggio just went and relocated his restaurant .ink to a new space on La Cienega. Then he decided to name it ink.well. Because, why not. Now he’s in there making you old favorites and a few new recipes. Even though you didn’t offer to help with the move.
JUST SAY ROW
Four reasons to visit ROW DTLA this weekend:
1) There’s a big sample sale happening with brands like Buck Mason and Garrett Leight.
2) Smorgasburg is Sunday.
3) It has ribs.
4) And tacos.
WEST STOP
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
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.”
Hadley Tomicki lives in Los Angeles. He is probably going nowhere on the 10 Freeway this very second.
