🍸 Eggnog espresso martini? Um, yes please.

New Jon & Vinny's, improv show, & our next walk club

It's FINALLY cozy weather in our city. That means mini uggs anytime the weather drops below 75 degrees. That means eggnog-infused drinks. That means exclusively going to restaurants or bars with fireplaces 🧣

Okay, let's get to the going.

πŸ—“οΈ THINGS TO DO πŸ—“οΈ

  • 🍝 Pasta Grannies!!! My fave Courtney Storer (of Jon & Vinny's fame) along with Chris Bianco (of Pizzeria Bianco fame) will be on a panel at Now Serving at ROW DTLA on Thursday 11/9.

  • πŸ• Speaking of Jon & Vinny's, they just opened their fourth location! Oh, and it has the first ever Helen's Wine Bar. Cheers to natty wine in Beverly Hills.

  • 🍸 One thing about me is that I love a holiday-themed drink. You can catch some specials at Capri Club (hot toddy anyone?) or grab yourself a "harvest latte" from Kumquat Coffee.

  • πŸ›οΈ So, you already know I'm obsessed with the Santa Ynez Valley, so I geeked out when I heard that the Santa Ynez General Store was popping up at Platform. Perfect for holiday shopping, and it's open through December.

  • πŸ˜† Every Thursday, improv group The Groundlings puts on a show called Cookin' with GAS. Grab a drink at the Village Idiot beforehand and then giggle at the show.

  • πŸ₯¬ Okay listen to this collab: Damian and Flamingo Estate. From 11/9 to 11/13, you can enjoy special dishes that feature produce from the estate.

  • 🦈 Aaaaand, Great White is opening another location on Melrose on Friday 11/11! And it's pretty in pink. Oh, and the natty wine list is by Tabula Rasa vet Andy Miller, so...

  • CAMBER IRL ➑️ We're teaming up with social knowledge sharing app, Diem, for our next walk club on Friday morning 11/11. Learn how to RSVP here!

πŸ“PLACES TO BEπŸ“

Olivetta

West Hollywood

This is your next date spot.

Olivetta is glamorous, cozy, and romantic as hell. You must order the Boujis Bread, Radiatore, and Agnolotti. You'll wanna linger here for a while.

If anything, just go to the bar and have their limited-edition eggnog espresso martini. BELIEVE ME 🍸

Wanderlust Creamery

Multiple Locations

Guys, the artisanal ice cream at Wanderlust is next level...

Every flavor is inspired by travel. For example, fan favorite Ube Malted Crunch is inspired by an American-Filipino upbringing, while Honey Lavender comes from Provence, France.

I love ice cream with a story 🍦

Be Bright

West Hollywood

We got a new coffee shop on Melrose β˜•

Be Bright has the makings of a great cafe: ample seating, inventive drinks, and trinkets to shop from. I got the hojicha latte and read for a bit here the other day. Save for after you go to the Melrose Trading Post on Sundays!

πŸ’¬ ONE FINAL THING πŸ’¬

See ya around,

Mads
