Rare Weekend 7.24.08

Chillax. It’s the weekend.



This weekend, navigate to Hollywood for the opening of the much anticipated Stork Supper Club by Bolthouse, Cobras & Matadors, and DJ AM. Take the edge off with vodka cocktails or a little sangria. Then indulge in market oysters, seared scallops, and steak frites. Reservations are a must.

The Stork Supper Club, 1738 North Orange Drive, Hollywood, (323) 462-3663

If a little wine and cheese is more your flavor, may we suggest the brand new Palate Wine Bar in Glendale. Blink and you’ll miss it (hint: it’s behind Palate Food & Wine), but find it and reward yourself with a nice list of regional wines and a selection from the tasting menu or cheese cellar.

Palate Wine Merchant + Wine Bar, 933 South Brand Blvd, Glendale, (818) 662-9463, palatefoodwine.com

Soak up all the night’s liquids in the morning at Akasha. A new breakfast menu means hearty BLT Frittatas, healthy Goji Berry Granola, and delicious Chocolate Walnut Coffee Cake. View the menu.
