The second LA location of this NY 'za standby's adding new offerings like hero sandwiches (baked in-house bread w/ sausage & pepper, meatball parm, chicken parm, etc) and pastas (spaghetti or penne w/ homemade meatballs or sausage) as well as the chain's classic thin-crust pies -- caprese w/ fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, and the parmesan-on-marinara-on-mozzarella "Grandma", which would taste better if it didn't smell like mothballs.

Grab a gratis Corona while shopping at this carefully curated, woodily interiored Third-Street boutique, which's ripping 25-50% off a wardrobe-full of all their current summer merch. Gear includes colorful print tees from Aegis, solid-color short sleeve button-ups from Ludwig, and shorts from Propr -- co-owned by David Arquette, and grammatically shortened to coincide with his career.

The second-annual edition of this DJ battle (which boasts an all-night open bar from Belvedere and Amp) pits different event promoter/lifestyle brands playlists against each other, tournament style; whomever's tunes move the dance floor more moves to the next round, with the winner taking home a year of bragging rights. Participants include the record company Stones Throw, the streetwear boutique Barracuda, and the ubiquitous promoter/blogger behind EatSkeet, a term you just recently learned grosses you out.

At Saks Fifth Avenue

This LA jeaner's just dropped a new line crafted by a British dude they stole from Thomas Burberry, which means most of their new duds have slimmer, sleeker fits and vintage looking washes, with one skinny, black pair made with a coated wash that makes it glisten just like leather, a guilt-free way to save wearing your Steven Tyler pants for special occasions.

Just now open in the former Lodge Steakhouse space (dark, woody, and untouched save the addition of a sushi bar), this cabin-themed restaurant is owned by a runway-model-turned-restaurateur, who's serving up a slew of Japanese goodness: a full selection of raw fish (including live sweet shrimp and abalone) as well as other deliciousness like kobe steak w/ wasabi mashed potatoes, sauteed salmon w/ peach ginger teriyaki sauce, and sweet shrimp ceviche w/ cilantro and citrus essence, because citrus is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.
