2000 Main St, Santa Monica; 310.396.9145

The newborn Westside sibling to the vaunted Pasadena cafe looks almost like they dropped a restaurant in a firehouse, thanks to way-high ceilings and exposed brick walls, with grub constantly changing depending on what's fresh at the Santa Monica Farmers' Market. There's both deli-style grab-and-go (right now, sushi, beet/goat cheese "Sonoma Salad"...) and eat-in, with an expansive breakfast/lunch/dinner menu that'll include the likes of baked Alaskan halibut w/ melted fennel, braised Niman Ranch pork shoulder w/ apricot-mustard glaze, and DIY filet mignon tacos w/ fresh-to-order tortillas and plentiful fixins, so really, DIY shirt stains.

Sun May 24 at Hard Rock San Diego: 207 5th Ave, San Diego; 619.702.3000

Grab tickets for a Memorial Day weekend swing down to SD to see Paul Oakenfold's relatively intimate poolside set, powering this decadent bash at the Hard Rock's AstroTurf covered, plush-couch-strewn pool deck. Admission's free if you stay in suites that start at just $149/night, and boast "rain" showers, 300-count Egyptian linens, 42" flatscreens, and the current issue of Rolling Stone, in which to read about Paul Oakenfold's sweet, relatively intimate poolside set.

Weekends only, 'til they close up, at 8226 W 3rd St, Mid-Wilshire; 323.653.1500

This Third Street boutique's packing up shop and moving to parts unknown, which means 30-50% off gear like jackets from Penguin, button-ups from Kenneth Cole, and hoodies from Ames Bros, including one with a silhouetted print of a cowboy wielding a double-barreled shotgun, which'll finally give you the opportunity to tell women, "my face is up here, stop talking to my barrels".

2442 Hyperion Ave, Silverlake; 323.662.2442

This new neighborhood-casual winestaurant from the La Terza guy is pouring vino from Italy to Croatia, plus specialty international suds like the wheaty Irish Curim Gold and the hoppy Grimbergen Blonde. Food's small plates like monkfish w/ chorizo, and chickpeas/wild boar sausage w/ bean ragu; there're also cheeses ranging from Spain's lightly-smoked sheep's milk Idizabal to Cali's own Bermuda Triangle -- a goat milk curd that, when your date goes to powder her nose, will mysteriously disappear.

People think the Hamptons are all about Sex and the City, but really, they're about people who just want to get out of the city to have some sex. To help with that, we're unleashing a summer-long Hamptons edition revealing everything from wrigglingly fresh Thai to reptile racing; tell your Hamptons-bound friends to sign up, and they'll thank you with hugs that linger just long enough to express gratitude, but not long enough to express their desire to give you a pair of sexy pumps.
