Forget the sunset and cover that face with your large-rimmed, high fashion dark glasses. LA things to do means we can spend all night at the Echo in our skinny jeans for the secret show and then stumble down to the bacon wrapped hotdog hibachi grill for a savory after hours treat. Our next night, LA things to do might mean slurping up handmade simple syrups in our best cocktail hour duds as we are escorted to our table by the hottest actor-by-day / eye-candy / front of house manager.
