CORRECTION: Piano Bar = Red Medicine

Oops. Did I say "Piano Bar?" I really meant Red Medicine. Sorry guys. When I originally wrote the previous write-up, it was for our usual 2nd Fridays event but this Friday the 15th (the 3rd Friday) is the start of LACMA's "Jazz at LACMA" series which means crowds and loud music—not quite conducive to the "deep, intellectual" conversations we have about design at our events. So we are moving venues. Just down the street from LACMA to Red Medicine.

Red Medicine opened a few months ago with an unusual approach to Vietnamese/French cuisine and cocktails from the founder of the every growing Umami Burger chain. While receiving mostly positive reviews, they also received some backlash when they kicked out and posted a picture online of LA Times restaurant critic S. Irene Virbila. The interior is designed by movie production designer Charisse Cardenas and has the look of what seems to be a growing trend, particularly in restaurant and bar design, of using reclaimed/rustic wood and steel. So please join us on Fri from 630-8p. (Hey we're finally out of Hollywood.) I'm sure if you behave, there will be no picture taking and online posting.
