👋 OH HEY 👋

Mads here! It’s Labor Day Weekend, which typically marks the end of summer and the arrival of Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Yet as I say every year, we always forget that September is LA’s hottest month, so the hot girl summer mindset perseveres for another 30 days 🌡️

Make the schlep to Malibu, drink a spritz on a rooftop like Bar Lis, host a picnic at Holmby Park with your friends, dress like a coastal grandma at Gjusta! It’s not over until it’s over 😤

Oh, did you hear we started a fun TikTok food series featuring our favorite Los Angeles creators? I vlogged us going to their favorite local restaurants in the city all while catching up (and giggling) in the car. You can find it on our TikTok profile under the “Series” tab:

Okay, now on to the coolest things happening this week.

📍PLACES TO BE📍

^{New openings, places you should know about, what I’m adding to my starting lineup, etc.}

• Saloon Coffee, Malibu ☕ This coffee shop is at Calamigos Ranch, and it looks like the most perfect escape in the hills of Malibu. They have wifi, too!

• Sogno Toscano, Santa Monica 🇮🇹 Looking for ACTUALLY authentic Italian food? The new Sogno Toscano on Montana is your answer. They import everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) from Italy: cheese, meats, bread, salami, olive oil, etc. Get the Bufalina sandwich. Trust me.

• Bar CDMX, DTLA 🌮 This new secret basement bar in DTLA is an ode to the music, art, and subculture of Ciudad de México.

• Kismet Rotisserie, Studio City 🍗 Kismet Rotisserie FINALLY opened their second location in Studio City. That quarter chicken plate with extra garlic sauce…
