What’s on tap for a Tuesday night in LA? Here’s a lineup we picked out for you: Spooky cartoons at Cinefamily, an evening with Mrs. Brady at the Paley Center, Hector Tobar at Skylight Books and wine and jazz at Palate in Glendale. Read on for all the details.
TV
Tonight at 7 pm, the Paley Center presents an evening with Florence Henderson, better known to millions as Mrs. Carol Brady.

Tickets: $20.
BOOKS
Hector Tobar, Los Angeles Times columnist and Pulitzer-winning journalist, will read from and sign from his highly-anticipated new novel, The Barbarian Nurseries tonight at 7:30 pm. Tobar’s book is being called “the great panoramic social novel that Los Angeles deserves--a twenty-first century, West Coast ‘Bonfire of the Vanities.’”
WINE+JAZZ
Palate Food + Wine in Glendale holds its Tuesday night wine tasting tonight from 6:30 to 9 pm. For $10, customers get four tasting pours. Tonight’s lineup features an array of natural wines from winemakers Tracey and Jared of Donkey & Goat Winery, including Cuvee Grenache Rose, Stone Crusher Roussanne, Improbable Chardonnay and Old Vine Carignane.
