The Daily Truffle Calendar – Angeleno mag pool party, Avalon hotel Wednesdays, Alex Hitz hosts book signing and more
Weekend report ... It's been a slow couple weeks with lots of people on va-ca but went to Kevin Parker (Rain Management Group) and Billy Park's bash on the Palihouse rooftop last week - where I was late in discovering Walter (who was the host at the Chateau for 12 years) has now taken up residency at the Palihouse. He tells me he is still performing every now and then on a music night he runs in the courtyard on Tuesdays. I also saw Chris Huvane (Management 360 new hire / former GQ Senior [...]

So, What Does the “Pink Card” Get You at the Beverly Hills hotel??
Last Thursday, the Beverly Hills hotel sent my dads yearly Summer time present; Beverly Hills Hotel towels. Why do we get them? I do not know. We also get salad bowls filled with the Macarthy Salad* inside about twice a year. *(most Beverly Hills natives know what that is - but for those who don't - it is the hotel's massively famous version of the Cobb, named after 3rd generation LA native, businessman and polo player Neil McCarthy) When I asked my dad why the BHH sends him towels [...]

Ramen Pop-Up Restaurant at Breadbar on 3rd Street in WeHo
I've seen the pop-up store, popularized in L.A. by Commes des Garcon in a downtown alley. I've seen a pop up gym at the Muscle Milk fitness retreat earlier this year. I've seen pop-up food trucks, and pop-up sex books - but I have never in all my years seen a pop-up restaurant within another restaurant. This month, Breadbar hands over it's kitchen to uber Japanese ramen makers "Yatai | Ramen Twist." Twist indeed - this menu offers no breaks to the faint at heart ... the twist is rare options [...]
Dinner on the Bridge! Roosevelt opens The Bridge above the David Hockney Pool for dinners
Dine alfresco this summer at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel above the sparkling David Hockney pool and Tropicana bar **The Roosevelt now lets kids swim in the pool at night. Three years ago, if you fell in the pool on an Alliance night, big fat body guards would rip you out with towels and give you a stern talking-to. Now the boys behind Nightswim (the Thursday night party) have somehow convinced the hotel that their crowd can handle the pool. Kudos to the Roos for easing up on the policy and [...]
