Los Angeles

Until Jan 20 at M&B Gallery: 612 N Almont Dr, West Hollywood

If hearing about art shows still makes you think "paintings of fruit", check out Hunter S.'s photographs. The gonzo author was one crazy MF, as evidenced by his photos of everything from Hells Angels to naked ladies in Nixon masks -- a politico-sexual antidote to a blurry bowl of bananas.

7661 Melrose Ave, Hollywood;323.782.8258

If you're disillusioned with LA's neo-pizza wave, hit Table 8, the vaunted upscale steak&fish joint reopening this week in its old Melrose location. Table "8.1" has been re-worked with a black motif: black leather chairs, black laquered bar, and black varnish decorating their previously white marble table. So eat there quick, before they get so depressed from the decor they just up and close forever.

Nothing says, "I got wasted on a Tuesday!" like a mangy, unshaven face. Mask your poor impulse control with Napa Valley's Davi Reserve Shave Cream, which uses a grape-based formula to achieve grape-smooth skin. But be careful: though shockingly efffective, Davi's not magic, and'll do little to prevent you from violently retching onto your keyboard.

6333 W 3rd St, above Bath and Body Works at the Grove

Not content to simply broaden the Grove's existing cuisine options (Italian, Italian, Italian, Barbeque, and Italian), this new Japanese joint is offering gratis sweet stuff this month to Thrillist readers. This ices their already-fat cake of a sushi bar, open-flame cooking, and Teppan dinners in a party-sized, wood-sheathed room. Italians welcome.
