Rare Weekend 5.22.08

This weekend… starts now.



Calling all jetsetters: next time you find yourself with a 10-hour layover, make a day of it and crash the JetSet Sundays at the Sheraton Gateway. Cool off in the pool, munch on a Brazilian steak sandwich, and listen to local DJs. Sure beats the concession stand. Sundays starting May 25, 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles, 6101 West Century Boulevard, (310) 642-1111, sheratonlosangeles.com

Nothing says Summer like barbecue-sticky-fingers. Head to Wilshire Restaurant’s Neighborhood Barbecue Nights, and get your hands dirty – in a Thomas Schoos-designed setting, no less – with baby back ribs, pulled Kurobata pork, tri-tips and more. Mmm.

We’re all about some Bordeaux with dinner, but sometimes you need a quick pick-me-up in the a.m. Thankfully, Vinoteque has just kicked off their brunch menu, with over 500 bottles to pair with your prime beef burger or gourmet grilled cheese.
