The List

Eat: Doughboys Hollywood
1156 Highland Ave; 323.467.9117

If you're sick of braving Mid-Wilshire for fatted-out brunches, check out Doughboys' new location. Not only is the Hollywood branch safe from Toast overflow, it features brand-new menu items like Chicken Pot Pie, Beefy Mac and Cheese, and Rice Crispy Pancakes -- sure to make your mind snap and arteries crackle, even as your heart pops.

Party: Wild Dogs
4916 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood

For those without the time/drugs to hear music in clubs every night of the week, this new party brings the best DJs together to play mini-sets during a single event. Expect local scenester greats spinning everything from house to disco, leaving you to debate glowsticks vs. bell-bottoms even though you'll look like a geek either way.

Save: 30% Off Gladstone's
17300 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu; 323.454.4734

Ask for "the worst table in the house", and Malibu's classic seaside dining room'll knock 30% off your check. Good news is, the worst table's a 5-seater booth; bad news is that it's so close to the bar you run the risk of old seamen spilling on you.

Sport: Golden West USA Table Tennis Tournament
1900 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica

Hit this free international tournament, and you'll catch the world's nimblest athletes at the very top of their game -- because who doesn't want to see a Singaporean 'ponger competing to win enough cash to buy a tennis racket?

Order: Koo-Ki Sushi

The problem with sushi as a gift is that it must be enjoyed by the recipient immediately, before even the most generous offering can become a smelly, stale proposition. Opt for Koo-Ki's candy sushi -- it's sweetly delicious, and has a very low threat of mercury poisoning.
