Things to do
- Kismet’s Sara Kramer And Sarah Hymanson With Kate Berlant: Now this should be special. Kismet restaurant founders and cookbook authors Sara Kramer and Sarah Hymanson are talking with none other than comedian of the moment Kate Berlant — just off her mega sold-out show at Pasadena Playhouse earlier this year — at one of the best bookstores in L.A., Now Serving. The duo bring to life their unique spin on Mediterranean cuisine in their book, also called Kismet, and will talk about recipes (like their famed salty-sweet persimmon salad and their chicken that launched a whole separate restaurant), entrepreneurship, and writing with Berlant, followed by a meet and greet with fans.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
