👋
HEY CUTIE
CurationsLA just got a
homepage design refresh, with a fresh news ticker, a
What's Filming in LA module, and
live job opportunities
(with more companies and opportunities to roll
out). Building it came with its share of technical
difficulties (hence today's Wednesday
publication), but it was so worth it, and so is
building in public with this community. On that
note, I am beyond excited to share that
Microsoft has officially partnered with
CurationsLA x CURATIONS
to financially back the platform's
infrastructure and the new AI features coming
soon. Keep the features and design feedback
flowing, please ignore any mess along the way, and
in these times of AI vibe coding, I am reminded to
just ship. CurationsLA will be off this Friday to
tighten things up internally, and we will be back
Tuesday.
But first, here is a shipment of today plus
this weekend's Good Vibes. - Wyatt

DISCUSSION: Quiet, near-seasonal stretch. Morning marine
clouds peel back to full sun by midday today and
tomorrow, with a small chance of an afternoon
mountain shower in both LA and Ventura. A gentle
warm-up rolls through tomorrow into Friday with
breezy late-day winds across the Antelope Valley
and I-5 corridor. Saturday holds steady with a
touch of June Gloom in the early hours before
bright skies return. Late-season rain teases for
early next week.

TRÉS la on instagram
Alan Dunn's Très LA Group, the 23-year-old
catering house behind countless Carondelet and
Ebell weddings, has finally planted a flagship inside the
Pacific Design Center's Blue Building at 8687
Melrose Avenue. The Parisian-meets-California
bistro opened weekday breakfast and lunch on April
13 with gold-framed mirrors, checkered floors,
marble counters, and a weekly-rotating seasonal
menu running herb-roasted chicken, grilled salmon,
and pastry-case mornings. Dinner service
officially launches Monday, May 11th, with
weekends following soon after, and reservations
are already live through the cafe's own site.
It is the first real all-day public room inside
the famously trade-only PDC complex, and a
homecoming for a hospitality team trained at the
Standard Hollywood and Chateau Marmont.

RUMI'S KITCHEN ON INSTAGRAM
Atlanta's upscale Persian chain
Rumi's Kitchen
makes its West Coast debut this May on the second
floor of Westfield Century City. Helmed by chef
Ali Mesghali, who grew up between Iran and Los
Angeles, the menu runs shirazi salad, fattoush,
labne, fried eggplant, and saffron-rice kabobs
alongside Persian baklava and a full wine and beer
program. The flagship adds two private dining
rooms, an
expansive patio overlooking Santa Monica
Boulevard, and a slate of menu items crafted specifically
for Los Angeles. It is the brand's first
California room after Atlanta, Alpharetta,
Houston, and Washington DC, and a homecoming for a
chef returning to where he was raised.

UOICHIBA ON INSTAGRAM
Liwei Liao's Sherman Oaks dry-aged seafood
market finally dropped its anchor downtown on East
1st Street with a cafe and bakery, a fish market,
and a 34-seat hand-roll bar called
Uoichiba. The cafe pours from 8am, the market opens at
10am, and Uoichiba's temaki service kicks off
at noon Tuesday through Sunday. Liao spent
thirty-five years recreationally fishing before
turning fish-obsessed engineer into LA's most
precise dry-age program. The new flagship gives
downtowners that program five days a week.

RENDERINGS FOR THE EASTERN
HANDEL ARCHITECTS
Millennium Partners just revised plans for The
Eastern, a 34-story,
434-foot glass-and-steel residential
tower
at 8300 Wilshire Boulevard on the eastern edge of
Beverly Hills. The Handel Architects design now
calls for 211 one, two, and three-bedroom homes
above 10,574 square feet of ground-floor
restaurant space and a 473-car garage. To qualify
for AB 2011 streamlining, the developer raised the
affordable component from 22 to 32 very low and
moderate income units, while Rios takes the lead
on landscape architecture. The curved-silhouette
tower is positioned as Wilshire's eastern
bookend through Beverly Hills, mirroring the $5
billion One Beverly Hills development rising at
the corridor's western end.

LAKERS
🏀 LAKERS VS. ROCKETS G5
The Lakers can
punch their ticket to the Western Conference
Semifinals tonight
when LeBron James and the purple-and-gold host the
Houston Rockets in Game 5 at Crypto.com Arena,
with tipoff at 7pm on ESPN. LA holds a 3-1 series
lead behind LeBron's late-game heroics in
Game 3 and steady contributions from Marcus Smart,
Luke Kennard, and Deandre Ayton, all without Luka
Dončić or Austin Reaves dressed for a single
minute of the series. Reaves is officially
questionable tonight with an oblique issue, while
Houston will be without Kevin Durant, Steven
Adams, and Fred VanVleet for a Rockets squad
fighting to extend its season. Crypto.com Arena
should be at full volume for what could be a
close-out moment, with the second round waiting on
the other side.

✅ TRIVIA ANSWER
ANSWER: 2003
Founder Alan Dunn launched Très LA as a boutique
catering brand with what he calls "a simple
belief that dining should do more than satisfy, it
should inspire." Built on years of
hospitality leadership at The Standard Hollywood
and the iconic Chateau Marmont, the operation has
grown into a full Très LA Group hospitality
portfolio over the past two decades. The brand-new
Pacific Design Center bistro and café opens its
doors on May 11th at 8687 Melrose Avenue, Suite
G-180.
