A Taste of Summer

What better way to celebrate the final days of summer (and thus the diminishing threat of having to appear in a bathing suit) than with a succulent multi-course feast? On August 20, cruise over to the lovely patio at Cliff's Edge in Silver Lake, and surrender yourself to the culinary stylings of chef Vartan Abgaryan. Your $55 ticket guarantees you homestyle dishes, such as warm-smoked salmon, fingerling potato crisps, and barbecued pork cheek over white-corn grits (see the full menu here). And did we mention there will be endlessly flowing beer? Yes, indeed—this is a Tuesday night plan you're gonna want to pencil in.
