Metromix LA Blog

We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.

Pico wants to get you high



 

 

 

When a bikin-clad young lady offers you a flyer for the new lunch menu at a local Cuban joint, and a totally random dude offers you a flyer for medical marijuana a split second later, you know you live in a super neighborhood.

 

The restaurant: La Bodeguita de Cuba.

The random dude: some random dude.

 

His advice: "Get your medical marijuana on, get the munchies, then swing by here!"

 

Thanks again, Pico.

Now I know why my mom never visits.

Sunset Strip revival





Remember Sunset Beach, the SoCal-themed restaurant and club inside the old Dublin's space on Sunset Boulevard? No? That's OK because it never really took off—despite its prime location—because the owners (Steve Marlton from Sugar and James Castro) couldn't agree on anything and were quite vocal about it to the press. Anyway, the venue's back, only it's been reborn into The Beach. I hung out there with Steve on Saturday and I can tell you this: You will not leave here with the ability to walk a straight line or touch your finger to your nose. (Click in to see photos of drinks that are larger than your head!)

For now The Beach is in "soft opening" phase. The grand opening goes down on August 22 with Steve Aoki--and possibly DJ AM--on the decks.
