Axe in Venice is a fresh old-timer
This twentysomething local favorite has a casual vibe and a healthy heart.
“HAVE you had the nine-grain pancake?” my extravagantly fit friend asks me. “It’s fantastic. About this big,” she says, stretching her arms wide. “But the secret is, you can get a half order.”
School’s open, the butcher is in
STEAK school is open. The Butcher of Panzano — aka Dario Cecchini, the most famous butcher in all of Italy — announces his Officina della Bistecca (Steak Workshop) in the heart of Tuscany’s Chianti Classico region:
Hidden: three kitchens too many?
A $250 pizza, black ‘muscles’ in spicy red sauce and an outdoor sushi bar. Honey, we’re not at Schatzi anymore.
THOUGH the wall beside the parking garage elevator still wears a caricature of the gov in his muscle-bound movie star days, Schatzi, his Main Street Santa Monica restaurant, is no more. Yep, terminated. In its place is a new restaurant and lounge called Hidden from the owners of Via Veneto up the street.
Michael Ovitz’s slick WeHo sushi spot is curiously sweet
Kumo’s forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies and heavy drizzle.
AFTER months of construction, Michael Ovitz, the former über-agent and Disney executive, has opened Kumo, a high-end sushi restaurant in the former Citrine (and before that, a number of other restaurants) space. Seems karma, the good kind, doesn’t lie thick on the ground at the Melrose Avenue address. But the neighborhood has certainly changed around, as rug and antique stores have given way to elegant boutiques. And so now, if you’re feeling peckish after picking out some ebony knitting needles at Knit Café, Kumo awaits your attention.

No corkage Mondays
Sometimes, you want to be able to drink your Two Buck Chuck for two bucks without having the sommelier slap on another $20 just for opening the bottle for you.

Panel warms to just one frozen lasagna

‘Orpheus & Euridice’
Ricky Ian Gordon’s expanded work has its moments in the splashy staging by Long Beach Opera.
Ricky Ian Gordon is one of American opera’s great new hopes.
Live: George Benson
George Benson doesn’t seem the likeliest candidate to deliver a Nat King Cole tribute — at least not one that emphasizes revived simulations of Cole’s classic hits. But there he was Friday at Walt Disney Concert Hall, with a large string orchestra and his own band, strolling through one familiar Cole selection after another.
V-vin bar
Venerable Valentino opens a new wine bar where you can check out sophisticated cooking without spending a fortune.
IT’S always an event dining at Valentino, Piero Selvaggio’s venerable — and formal — Italian restaurant in Santa Monica. Make a reservation, dress to the nines, head on over and you’ll spend a few hours and a considerable chunk of dough — dinner with wine for two can easily top $400.
Eight-Minute Absinthe
Late last year, the first-ever (legal) shipment of absinthe reached our shores—and, with it, inspiration for New York’s restless beverage innovators. Herewith, the city’s premiere

Boozing Is Better in Bed-Stuy
Brooklyn Lager isn’t found on tap in this part of the borough. Shoot-em-up hole-in-the-walls of lore are hard to find, too. Instead, stumble into these Bed-Stuy drinking establishments that have flashy dance floors and a preference for top-shelf booze. Plus, one hole-in-the-wall just for kitsch
