Los Angeles

At LA Live, Downtown; 213.748.4020

The Manhattan Beach seafood & steak institution's second location's a patio'd, two-story bistro w/ oyster bar and expanded wine list. The menu mirrors the original, including giant coconut prawns w/ pineapple beurre blanc, and a surf 'n turf w/ fillet and Australian cold water lobster tail, as well as signature drinks from the rock-poster-covered bar, like the two-rums-and-tropical-juice Navy Grog and the house-made, shrimp-garnished Fireworks Bloody -- if you can't handle the heat, pretend you're allergic to shrimp and enjoy a brisk ride to the hospital before the bill arrives.

At Luau: 369 N Bedford, Beverly Hills; 310.274.0090 and Il Sole: 8741 Sunset, West Hollywood; 310.657.1182

Just launched at each of these upscale barstaurants: a drink whose price goes up and down each day, mirroring the whims of the stock market (Luau = rum-charged punch, Il Sole's = Prosecco cocktail). Prices're down almost 40% from their original $14 -- baselined back to the market's price in February 2008, when people gladly paid $14 for drinks, and buying that duplex was the best idea you ever had.

441 Gin Ling Way, Downtown; 213.613.9200

This new, stark boutique's gonna pop one brand up at a time, starting with Stockholm's Cheap Monday, selling their trademark skinny jeans, surrealist tees (a solid black triangle w/ the words "no masters"), large-plaid shorts, and a polo with a breast-pocket zipper, but no actual pocket, cutting corners with such efficiency, they should call themselves Cheap Everyday.

Sun 10-3 at 1862 Placentia Ave, Costa Mesa; 949.631.3433

The original location of this sticker-laden franchise's celebrating its 20th anniversary with TBA giveaways, pro skateboarders, and ultra-cheap fish tacos for five hours, after which they'll once again be $2.42, and you once again won't remotely care about anything involving professional skateboarding.

This poster map crams 111 LA 'hood names into their respective geographic boundaries, though trusting its borders means saying goodbye to your beloved Fairfax District, and admitting you're a proud resident of the Miracle Mile.
