THIEF IN THE NIGHT
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice...

GOING HOLLYWOOD
More Shake Shack. More Danny Trejo.
Shake Shack is now open in Hollywood for anybody who enjoys burgers and Rucker’s Pie–collaborative custards on huge Walk of Fame patios. And close by, Danny Trejo now has Trejo’s Cantina, a bulked-up version of his taco spot. Hope they’ll be friends.

THE NO-NAME GAME
A Not-Secret Sunday Dinner Series at a Secretive Club
The once covert club and restaurant known as No Name Fairfax will let you in now for dinner. And this Sunday, chef Jared Simons kicks off a monthly plant-based series, featuring dishes like smoked carrot tartare and Southern fried mushrooms. Still, it shall remain nameless.
Hadley Tomicki lives in Los Angeles. He is probably going nowhere on the 10 Freeway this very second.
