The calendar may say “Autumal Equinox” but it still feels sunny and summery on The Sunset Strip. Extend summer another few weeks with these upcoming events. (That scarf is just for decoration, anyway.)
SEASONAL SUMMER COCKTAILS
The Eveleigh restaurant has an amazing patio, and a fresh, farm-to-table menu. So when you add fresh, seasonal cocktails to this equation, you have the perfect summer trifecta. Stop by to try a few of their delicious summer-inspired drinks before they’re out of season: Oaxacan Angel (mezcal, agave, Miracle Mile Castillian bitters), Embury Cocktail (Plymouth Navy-strength gin, sherry, Yellow Chartreuse, Miracle Mile Yuzu bitters) and Hotel Nacional (Cuban rum, apricot eau de vie, fresh pineapple, lime, cane sugar). Cheers! www.theeveleigh.com
PATIO DINING
Heat lamps or no heat lamps, patio dining is a year-round activity on The Sunset Strip. Add Night + Market’s new minimalist back patio, Riva Bella’s Tuscan-inspired indoor/outdoor space and classic sidewalk cafes Le Petit Four, Clafoutis and Cravings to your list. You will also want to take advantage of The London West Hollywood’s rooftop dining space before it is tented for cooler weather. https://dev.thesunsetstrip.com/dining
POOL PARTIES
While the rest of the country is taking their coats out of storage, we’re still partying poolside. Stop by The Standard, Hollywood for their Summer in September pool parties. Enjoy music, great people watching and lots of warm California sunshine. www.facebook.com/TheStandardHollywood
SWIMSUITS
Pool parties and swimsuits go hand in hand. Stop by Lenceria Boutique for their end of season swimsuit sale! Don’t worry, you’ll still be wearing it in December. www.facebook.com/LenceriaLA
OUTDOOR MUSIC & FARM FRESH FOOD
The Sunset Strip Market’s 2013 season will end Oct. 24. Make sure you get out and enjoy this weekly summery treat. Live music, a craft beer and wine garden, local fare and farm fresh fruits and veggies every Thursday. www.sunsetstripmarket.com
PURE POP FUN
What is summertime without a catchy pop tune getting stuck in your head? The House of Blues promises to fill your head with mmmmbopping, nonstopping hits on Sept. 26 with the boys – er now men – of Hanson take the stage. You’re welcome. www.hob.com/la
