TINSELTOWN, it might be accurately and obviously stated, can prove a mite overwhelming, especially when it comes to the highly effervescent nightlife scene. A friend recommends one tony tavern, while another friend loves this other eatery, the one with the queue out front, that one café popping up in friends' photos over and over again. How, though, to take in a swath of the scene over the course of a single evening, the better to soak up some of the glitter and goings-on while getting a sense of what's au courant? Look to the Hollywood Dine Around, a September-long package that is built around an evening of trying out a few top-tier destinations, much like a progressive dinner, with, wait for it, both the gratuity and tax included (a rare thing, for sure). It's the...
HOLLYWOOD DINE AROUND, and it includes pop-bys at Katsuya Hollywood, Cleo, and possibly The Library (the very spots you're seeing in your friends' photos, perhaps). The night starts at Katsuya Hollywood, for appetizers, then makes its way over to Cleo for a lovely supper and a sweet to follow. There shall be a libation at The Library, the better to conclude the night, a night that should fall on a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday (all grand evenings to spend in Hollywood, which can definitely bustle hard come the weekend). Cost? It's $79 dollars. And as for the "Cleo, and possibly The Library" bit mentioned before? Your final visit of the night, for your cocktail, will be at one or the other, adding some scintillating suspense to the posh proceedings. It's a not-too-pricey way to brush up on Hollywood's evening-fun spots, and the deal is on through the close of September 2016. Details? Over here, Tinsel-on-the-towners.
