The List

Hump This

Eat: Saam

At the SLS: 465 S La Cienega, Beverly Hills; 310.246.5545

A 40-seat semi-private room hidden in the back of The Bazaar, Saam's pimped like a rich dude's study with leather upholstery, Murano light fixtures, and bookshelved walls. The menu's a constantly changing prix-fixe, with 20+ bite-sized courses, many unavailable at The Bazaar, including salmon roe/creme fraiche "Bagels & Lox" cones, truffle/Kobe/foie gras tournedos rossini, and "Olive Oil Bon Bons" -- olive oil encased in a gelatinous sphere w/ sugar & balsamic, basically a poppable shot of salad dressing, less likely to scare away your date then slamming a takeout pack of Hidden Valley.

Celebrate: Bacaro One-Year Anniversary Party

Sat at 2308 S Union Ave, Downtown; 213.748.7205

To celebrate their first birthday, the Downtown wine bar's asking just $15 for all-you-can-eat app-sized paninis and an all-night wine/beer open bar. Bevy brands are still TBA, but chances are, they won't intersect with your $15 all-you-can-drink Friday conundrum of Franzia vs Franzia.

Their website is at BacaroLA.com

Go: Levi's Powersliding Championship

Today, 3-5 at the Santa Monica Pier

To make Tax Day blow slightly less, enjoy a slew of Free at the Santa Monica pier, including Korean tacos from Kogi, screen-printed tees from Long Beach customizers Hit & Run, party-happy electro-laced indie rock from Brooklyn's Matt & Kim, gift packs from Levi's, and a powersliding competition featuring top-ranked artisans of the extreme sport (basically skateboard-style grinding on body parts instead of wheels) with "celebrity judges" Johnny Moseley, Wee Man, and Girls Next Door's Kendra Wilkinson...so make that "judges".
