Los Angeles

6602 Melrose Ave, Mid-Wilshire; 323.297.0100

The latest installment of the Batali/Silverton collaboration boasts a larger, more entree-laden menu than its Pizzeria sister, with dishes like Grilled Octopus, Grilled Beef Tagliatta w/ Rucola and Parmigiano, and Goat Cheese Ravioli w/ Five Lilies -- because a mere four lilies would beg the question, "Are we not men?"

At South Willard: 8038 W 3rd St, Mid-Wilshire; 323.653.6153

70% off jeans, bathing suits, jackets, and button-downs at this upscale boutique's empty-the-store sale, which is nearly as good as the 100% you got off the last time you emptied a store and made off with glass shards in your hair and a shopping cart of toasters.

At Urban Outfitters on the 3rd St Promenade, Santa Monica

Sonic Youth trade in their indie cred for stuff for their dorm rooms at this intimate Urban Outfitters show. De-mothball your '93 Dirty tee to get in the zone and to cover up that "Pedro Lacks Political Experience" shirt you impulse bought while they were warming up.

5018 York Blvd, Highland Park

This NYC-style gastropub plates hotted-up bar grub (Serrano'd Honey Chicken Wings, Burgers with Harissa Aioli, etc) and a kingly beer list ranging from Peroni on draft to Hobgoblin English Ale. As you enjoy these tastinesses in the booth-lined brick dining room, you'll hallucinate that you've been transported to the Big Apple, until you try to enter a subway and realize you've fallen into a storm drain.

Go headphones for this ear-scorchingly explicit video chronicling adult stars' reflections on being filmed f'ing. The encore shows them romping around a video store while poppish band Rilo Kiley bangs out their new single (the first new triple-X soundtrack since "bow-chicka-wow-wow" was composed).
