Eat: Beacon's 5 Year Anniversary

June 3-17 at Beacon: 3280 Helms Ave, Culver City; 310.838.7500

To celebrate its Cubic Zirconium, the Asian-fusion cafe's serving up special $5 small plates, like a slider duo (ground lamb burger w/ kimchee and oyster po boy w/ yuzu tartar sauce), grilled fish tacos w/ ancho chili salsa, and miso-marinated black cod. A fiver'll also score select wines, or a soju saketini, sure to be featured prominently in the Japanese spinoff, Really Weird Sex and the City.

Buy: Steven Alan Sample Sale

Thurs-Sun at 1937 1/2 Hillhurst, Los Feliz

The dignified shirtist is dropping prices 30-80% on nearly the whole store, which means SA button-ups and pants for under $40, plus similarly slashed stuff from some of Steve's chums, like print tees from Loomstate and coats from Rogan, which won't stop telling you about how much isolation chamber drugs it does.

Rent: Rofo

Just launched in LA, Rofo helps small businesses search for office space by connecting them with renters; you can search by price, sq footage, area, length of lease, or type of space, and all results're accompanied by a Gmap of all nearby businesses, making sure you don't end up in one of those unpopular business parks for losers.

Eat: Petrossian Reopens

321 N Robertson Blvd, West Hollywood; 310.271.0576

Following a nearly six-month buildout, this classy cafe/shop's doubled in size, with a brightened-up interior, patio, and an expanded menu now including dinner, with dishes like rib eye w/ shallot confit, baby spinach, & wild mushroom fricassee, and a pressed sandwich w/ sheep's cheese, black cherry marmalade, & duck prosciutto; they're still offering specialty products (vodka flutes, fondue pots, etc) as well as fancy to-go grub like goose and duck foie gras, Sevruga caviar, and smoked salmon available classic, white, or "Tzar Cut", which better not be a Rasputin joke.

Dance: Bootie LA 4th Anniversary

Saturday at the EchoPlex: 1154 Glendale Blvd, Echo Park

The vaunted mashup night's celebrating in style, with half-off admission for the first hour, free 20-track mash CDs for the first 300 people, and drink specials like $3 Tecate all night and a $4 TBA shot from midnight 'til at least 1am. To ensure proper insanity levels, a bodysuited dance crew'll be performing to Depeche Mode's "Just Can't Get Enough" mixed with a beat from hip-hoppers Yo Majesty, while live band Smash-Up Derby blasts through tracks like "Smells Like Billy Jean", which is also how the Wimbledon laundromat used to separate clothes.
