If you are in a giving spirit, and would enjoy a night out filled with food, drink, and fellow giving folks like yourself, you may want to pick up some passes to Simply diVine, the annual benefit for the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center. The party takes place Saturday, August 27th at the famous Two Rodeo in Beverly Hills, when one of the town's most well known shopping destinations is closed down to hold the festivities.
Some of Los Angeles' favorite and most-respected restaurants and chefs will be on hand to serve up delicious bites, including AOC, A-Frame, Border Grill, Jar, The Gorbals, Ford's Filling Station, Lucques, Tavern, Ray's & Stark Bar, STREET, and more. For imbibing, over a dozen wineries will be pouring, along with a few different cocktails. A pre-event VIP tasting for the oenophiles and big spenders out there focuses on rare wines and a special menu of food from McCormick & Shmick's will be held inside Galerie Micheal.
Tickets are available online, and are $150 general admission, and $500 VIP.
