• LAist's Callie Miller let us in on her dirty little secret this week: she loves Pinkberry.

• Langer's Square was dedicated this week at 5th and Alvarado, honoring the legendary deli that has been a part of the L.A. food landscape for over 60 years. To what does Norm Langer attribute his family's restaurant success? "Norm himself [credited] public transportation for the survival of the family business; 'We were blessed by the Red Line.'"
• And...why are there two toilets in one stall in the women's restroom at the newly opened Little Dom's in Los Feliz?
