FROM PERKS
Sure, this portable power bank can charge your phone multiple times at high speeds with its patented technology and save you countless headaches in the process, but… can it rock out? Yes. Yes it can. Because this 10,000mAh battery also happens to be a Bluetooth speaker. And 25% off.
PLAYING IT POOL
Next time you visit the London’s rooftop, you’ll find a large rectangular pool framed by a mural of two adorable bulldogs in a lovely garden setting where fried chicken bao burgers, lobster rolls and refreshing drinks mingle good-naturedly with private cabanas and a plant wall. What you do with all of that is your business.
CATTLE TALE
Cattle & Claw is a casual new pop-up at Sofitel. It has a fairly simple philosophy in life: shelter and feed those who seek classic burgers, whole lobster and beer, and they will find fulfillment. Or maybe that was Descartes.
FRIGHT SHIFT
B340 is reportedly the most haunted stateroom on the Queen Mary, carrying reports of faucets mysteriously turning on and a figure over the bed. Nobody has stayed there since the ’80s. But if you’re feeling brave, you can rent that very cabin for the night again. No need to do it alone, though.
KEEPING UP WITH THE JONES
Next week is 420. Or so we’re told. But this week, Lord Jones and all local Standard Hotel locations release their line of relaxing, cannabis-derived CBD products—including gumdrops and body lotions—in the hotel’s minibars and eventually in a lobby store. Or so we’re told.
BRUNCH LINE
Ricardo Zarate’s Rosaliné has come to that stage in every restaurant’s life when it decides to open on Sunday mornings and serve dishes like Peruvian steak and eggs, burgers on purple corn brioche and spicy tuna avocado toast. Otherwise known as the Sunday brunch stage.
FLYING SOLO
If you’re going to travel by yourself, do it in one of these social cities. While you’re there, consider wearing this extremely limited-edition Schott motorcycle jacket, made with famous Horween leather. And should you require an adult beverage, you might want to hold out for a bourbon-y new beer from Jim Beam and Budweiser.
Hadley Tomicki lives in Los Angeles. He is probably going nowhere on the 10 Freeway this very second.
