A family weekend that refused to sit in one neighbourhood. One day went out to Malibu and then back down the coast into Venice for a long lunch at Gjelina, followed by a sauna and cold plunge at Den Mother. If you are anywhere near it, go.
Another day went downtown for a campus tour and a football game, which is its own kind of Los Angeles entirely. One evening we took over Replique for a private dinner.
The base was Beverly Hills – close to the shopping, the hills out of the window, and a sensible distance from everywhere the weekend actually went, which in this city is the only call that really matters.
