The List

Eat: La Grande Orange (Santa Monica)

La Grande Orange (Santa Monica)

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.

Eventually, all the deets'll be at LaGrandeOrangeSM.com

2000 Main St, Santa Monica; 310.396.9145 |

Go: Paul Oakenfold at Intervention

Paul Oakenfold at Intervention

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.

We've got a free suite, breakfast, and admission for that Sunday for the 150th person to email Oakenfoldcontest@gmail.com; more info on the hotel's at Sun May 24 at Hard Rock San Diego: 207 5th Ave, San Diego; 619.702.3000 |

Buy: Terra Moving Sale

Terra Moving Sale

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".

Some of the gear's at TerraOnThird.com

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

Eat/Drink: Barbrix

Barbrix

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.

Menus and more are at Barbrix.com

2442 Hyperion Ave, Silverlake; 323.662.2442 |

Join: Thrillist Hamptons

Thrillist Hamptons

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.
