EaterTastings: Details on the Doheny, Rivera Opening in Met Lofts, and All the Free Stuff You Missed this Week
Friday, February 29, 2008, by Marissa Gluck
This week's top dish from Eater LA, Curbed's restaurant, bar, and nightlife blog... [The valet at the new downtown Doheny club]
DOWNTOWN: More details on Cedd Moses' Doheny in the Petroleum building keep coming. First the house rules. Then the barman. And the valet. But where are those fingerprint scanners?
WESTWOOD: This was the Week of Freebies. First Chipotleopened in Westwood and gave away free burritos to poor UCLA students and worker-types. Then Pink's gave away dogs in Hollywood as part of some hackneyed FOX sitcom promotion. And over in West LA, Red Mango gave away free yogurt to celebrate the new store on Pico. DOWNTOWN: Downtown's Met Lofts will get Rivera, a new restaurant owned by Chef John Sedlar and Bill Chait. Expect "Latin-fusion cuisine but updated: More Spanish than Southwestern, Asian influences, smaller plates, bigger variety." WEST HOLLYWOOD: Boa Steakhouse at the Grafton Hotel is moving a bit farther west, joining the SoHo House in moving the Luckman Plaza at 9200 Sunset later this year.
