👋 OH HEY 👋

Mads here! This one is for the girlies: 6 ideas to celebrate Galentine’s Day this week (more events / ideas below as well).

Don’t have a Valentine’s Day reservation? Here are some spots that you can just walk into:

Capri Club, Eagle Rock 🍕 La Morra Pizzeria will be serving heart-shaped pizzas at Capri Club on Valentine’s Day! This is going to be cute AF.
Ghisallo, Santa Monica 🍷 One of the most underrated spots in LA. You should be able to order up front and sit out in their romantic patio.
Dudley Market, Venice 🍔 They always reserve a bunch of spots for walk-ins. If there’s a wait, don’t worry. You can order some natty wine to sip on outside while you wait.
Spina, Atwater Village 🍝 No reservations ever! Put your name down and grab a drink down the street at Nico’s while you wait.
Queen Street, Eagle Rock 🦪 Bar seating is always reserved for walk-ins! You know oysters are an aphrodisiac…
Barra Santos, Cypress Park 🍷 The best people watching. Sip on a glass of orange wine and snack on tuna crudo.
Voodoo Vin, Virgil Village 🥘 Homestyle Persian food with natty wine. Sign me up.
Quarter Sheets, Echo Park 🍰 More casual V day option, but the ‘za is premium and the cake slices are even better.
Johnny’s Pastrami, West Adams 🥪 Get a pastrami sandwich, eat on their patio, and then top off the night at their moody bar.
Woon, Historic Filipinotown 🥡 How about a little sidewalk dining with some noodles & natty wine?
Heavy Handed, Santa Monica 🍦 They’re serving up strawberry dipped cones just for Valentine’s Day!!

Okay, now on to the coolest things to do in LA this week.
