This Latin-flavored enorm-staurant's got eight oversized "tequila chairs" for sipping seasonal flights of agave (house-infused w/ everything from pomegranate to cocoa bean) and a menu ranging from pork shoulder slow-cooked in banana leaves, to foie gras w/blood orange confit, all overlorded by the author of the influential cookbook Modern Southwest Cuisine (published in 1986, so the food's actually...post-modern?).
Drool over the menu hereOpens Sun at 1937 1/2 Hillhurst, Los Feliz
Opening Sunday, the latest store from the button-up magnate's gonna constantly offer 40-70% off the previous season's merch, as well as sneakers from Spring Court and jeans from Simon Miller, who's known for two things: using Japanese denim, and having the only brand name more breakneck exciting than Steven Alan.

Dolled up with light fixtures resembling dangling slabs of gyro meat, this kebab joint's celebrating their opening with $2 beers, wines, and sangria, and 50% off their entire (if concise) food menu: sandwiches, wraps, and salads loaded with chicken, doner (gyro), or falafel with feta and veggies, as well as sides like sweet potato fries and hummus w/ lightly fried pita, for the subtlest of heart attacks.

This 80s-inspired store's shutting down, which means $10-15 tees from their own line (from Rorschach-ish muddlings of robots/naked ladies to neon golf tees) plus 50-75% off everything else: vintage mewelry, graffiti-filled coffee table books, and cameras from Lomo, an analog-camera company whose motto is "don't think, just shoot", and is obviously run by Charles Bronson.
