After a weekend hiatus, dineLA Restaurant Week returns for round two this Monday through Friday. Be sure to set your reservations and indulge in the three-course meals that are being offered at restaurants along The Sunset Strip and throughout the city.
Those looking to spice up their week should stop by Rosa Mexicano on The Sunset Strip, which is offering both a lunch and dinner menu that features authentic Mexican and Latin favorites.
One of the best things about dineLA Restaurant Week is that it gives diners the chance to experience some of the city’s top rated restaurants without breaking the bank. Luckily for all foodies, critically acclaimed three-star restaurant RH at Andaz is offering both a lunch and dinner menu during Restaurant Week, showcasing the restaurant’s Southwestern French influences and local California produce.
Comedian, author and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star Jeff Garlin visited The Sunset Strip’s prestigious literary boutique, Book Soup, earlier this month to discuss the re-release of his weight loss/“going green” chronicle, Curbing It. A longtime fan of Book Soup, Garlin hosts and moderates a monthly-ish book club dedicated to supporting the local landmark he so frequently patronizes.
Before diving into a lengthy Q&A session with fans and book club “enthusiasts,” The Comedy Store regular and Book Soup mascot spoke to TheSunsetStrip.com about his journey to a life of sustainable health and eco responsibility.
The dinner hour is approaching and chances are that you don’t feel like cooking or doing the dishes tonight. So why not let someone else take care of both? Pick up the phone, make your reservation and get ready to take your tastebuds on a tour of Southern Europe at Nonna of Italy.
Focused on fresh, handmade Italian classics and contemporary Mediterranean dishes, Nonna of Italy has been a Sunset Strip staple for nearly four years, attracting A-listers and serious foodies alike.

Are you ready to get your art on while also celebrating Los Angeles’s history? Today marks the official launch of the Pacific Standard Time Public and Performance Art Festival presented by The Getty and LAXArt. The festival, which is part of the larger collaboration of Southern California galleries celebrating the birth of the L.A. art scene, specifically the years 1945-80, is an 11-day festival featuring special performances, ourdoor visual spectacles, art exhibits and events each day.
The Andaz West Hollywood hotel, formerly known as the “Riot Hyatt” for its infamous rock and roll parties and guests, has partnered with The Roxy Theatre and the Playlist Generation to unveil two new unique music programs that celebrate its music history.
Last Friday, The Strip’s one-stop music shop, SoundCheck Hollywood, hosted a free pizza party all in the name of music! The shop was packed to the walls all night long as members of the bands Vampires Everywhere!, Breathe Carolina, Winds of Plague, Of Mice & Men, Suicide Silence and even Limp Bizkit came to party and hang out with Asking Alexandria’s Danny Worsnop.
We Are The Apocalypse kicked out the jams and kept the party going strong for all the fans lined up around the corner waiting to get in and hang with their favorite bands. Watch out Sunset Strip, it’s the next generation of music and these kids are party animals (some dude even brought his bunny rabbit to join the fun)!
1966 was a turbulent year in American history and an active time on The Sunset Strip. The youth counterculture movement was protesting the war in Vietnam, fighting for civil rights and influencing U.S. politics, fashion and music. As a direct result of the opposition to the Vietnam war, a group of artists in Los Angeles worked with sculptor Mark di Suvero to create "The Artists’ Tower of Protest" as a symbol of their collective dissent.
Originally built on an empty lot at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and La Cienega (now where Pink Dot is located), the tower was surrounded by hunderds of panels designed by artists from around the world. Messages of love, peace and political dissent were created and placed on public display.
Support your community during this year’s Martin Luther King Jr., Day of Service, which celebrates the life of the late Martin Luther King, Jr. through community projects throughout the country.
