The weekend is so close you can practically taste it. Here are the edible events going on in the next few days to keep you occupied -- and sated, for that matter.
Bourbon Dinner at Tin Roof Bistro
We dare you to find a better way to spend your Sunday evening than sipping on bourbon and chowing down on a whole roasted pig. You can do just that at Tin Roof Bistro in Manhattan Beach this weekend, where they'll be toasting the arrival of Buffalo Trace's Barrel #38 with a dinner from 4-7 p.m. There'll be corn chowder shooters with mini bacon biscuits, fresh watermelon and heirloom tomato salad, roasted pig with all the fixins, and vanilla wafer cream pie for dessert. Each course comes paired with a bourbon cocktail, so come thirsty. The dinner costs $54 per person, not inclusive of tax and gratuity. You can make your reservations by emailing here.
Kombucha Tasting at The Market on Holly
Support for LAist comes from
Earlier this year, the adorable Market on Holly launched their Producer Series, where local purveyors come in to showcase their wares and mingle with customers. This Saturday from 12 -2 p.m. they'll be hosting a meet-and-greet/tasting with Health Ade, a local komucha brewer who uses SoCal's bountiful produce to sweeten their bubbly teas. Their seasonal offerings currently include flavors like pink lady apple and plum, but their original and ginger lemon flavors are equally as delightful. For more information visit their site.
East L.A. Meets Napa Festival
If you're looking for some multicultural date night plans, tonight's your night at the Union Station. Thirty restaurants and 30 wineries will gather for the eighth annual East L.A. Meets Napa & Beyond at Union Station, marrying Mexican food, California wines and tequila. The event will benefit AltaMed, a health care and social organization that provides such services as youth programs, substance abuse prevention and treatment. It goes from 6 to 9 p.m., and tickets are $150 per person.
National Ice Cream Day at BLD
This Sunday, BLD is adding on a special dineLA supplement in honor of National Ice Cream Day. They'll be previewing flavors from the soon-to-open icdc, a collabo between Amy Knoll Fraser and Pastry Chef, Mariah Swan, including Strawberry Black Pepper Cream Cheese, Buttermilk Chocolate Marble, and Cinnamon Marshmallow. If they're half as good as her freshly-fried doughnuts, you're in for a real treat. For more information, visit their site.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
