The Hottest New Tables in Hollywood During AFM

Baldi 9850 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills The Hotel Lobbies Where Hollywood Takes Meetings During AFM At the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, chef Edo Baldi gives the steakhouse an Italian accent, cooking beef and wagyu over an olive wood-fired grill. Don’t let the steaks distract from sweet corn tortellini with mascarpone and truffle butter, or the pancake soufflé for two. Terracotta tones and olive trees warm the restaurant. For casual meet-ups, Bar Baldi pairs thin-crust pizza with beverage director Jim Kearns’ limoncello-laced spritz. Birdie G’s 2025 Avenue of the Stars, Los Angeles Moving from Santa Monica into the former Lumière space, chef Jeremy Fox’s Birdie G’s brings its family-inspired cooking directly to Century City. Matzo ball soup, the Pickle Chick cutlet and rose petal pie join koji-aged steaks, handmade pastas and California vegetables. EDG’s design draws on midcentury supper clubs, with banquettes and expanded patio seating. The planned breakfast-through-dinner format covers the working day; martinis and Manhattans take care of happy hour and beyond. Bad Roman 267 N. Canon Drive, Suite A7, Beverly Hills The former Palm steakhouse has a new cast of characters: a boar sculpture, greyhound statues and snake door handles. Quality Branded’s Bad Roman fills green velvet banquettes

Sepulveda Connects Gets City Approval – Dedicated Bus Lanes, Protected Bike Lanes on a North-South Corridor

Culver City has approved the Sepulveda Connects infrastructure redesign, creating bus-only transit corridors and protected bike routes along Sepulveda Boulevard. The transportation project was given the ‘go-ahead’ at the Culver City council meeting on Nov. 9, 2026. The project will extend along Sepulveda Boulevard between Venice Boulevard and Slauson Avenue. This will create a much-needed north-south connection for cyclists, and ease bus timelines by creating a dedicated lane for public transit.

Op-Ed: Former West Hollywood Mayor John D’Amico Weighs in on 2026 City Election – ‘Working. People. First.’

On Election Day, a progressive tornado dropped a West Hollywood West single-family home on Heilman and the last of the city-as-a-business councilmembers — and, fittingly, it happened while Heilman was mayor. The era of more for them and less for the workers is over. The progressive revolution has arrived....

City Waived Privilege Over Fair Chance Act Assessments Prepared With Assistance Of Counsel

Civil Rights Dep’t v. City of Torrance, 2026 WL 3215987 (Cal. Ct. App. 2026) In September 2022, the City of Torrance rescinded a conditional offer of employment for a custodian position after a background check revealed the applicant’s multiple criminal convictions. The applicant filed a complaint with the Civil Rights Department (the CRD) under the Fair Chance Act (Cal. Gov’t Code § 12952), and the CRD expanded its investigation to determine whether the City had a pattern of disqualifying applicants (23 in all) without conducting the required “individualized assessments.” The City refused to produce its assessment templates and related documents on the ground that an in-house attorney had helped prepare them. The trial court granted the CRD’s petition to compel production, and the Court of Appeal affirmed, holding that the City waived the attorney-client privilege by defending itself on the basis of the adequacy of its individualized assessments. As the Court explained, the City “cannot demonstrate it complied with section 12952 without putting at issue the adequacy of the individualized assessments.”

The Los Angeles area’s movie theater renaissance is in full swing as Look Cinemas is set to take over the former iPic location at One Colorado in Old Pasadena. The dine-in theaters will reopen in December — just in time for “Dune: Part Three” and “Avengers: Doomsday” — with luxury reclining pod seating, immersive picture and sound and chef-inspired food and craft beverages delivered directly to guests’ seats. Movie Theater Chain iPic Files for Bankruptcy The iPic multiplex closed in June amid the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. The six-screen location has been in operation since 1991, first as AMC, then Laemmle and later as Gold Class luxury cinemas. “Old Pasadena has had a movie theater at One Colorado for many years, and we weren’t willing to let that story end,” said Brian Schultz, CEO of Look Dine-In Cinemas. “A local cinema is where a community comes together to laugh, cry, be inspired and share experiences. We can’t wait to welcome Pasadena back to the movies and invite everyone to make this Look cinema their favorite spot.” “One Colorado has long been a premier destination in the heart of Old Pasadena, and the cinema has been part of that experience,” said Mark

George Mkrtchyan Left a Century City Firm to Build One Where Clients Talk to Their Attorney

The call goes to voicemail. The client leaves a message, waits a week, and calls again. Somewhere in the office, the file holding that client’s injury claim sits exactly where it sat last month. For many people who hire a lawyer, the hardest part of a case can be the silence between updates, not the legal question at the center of it.

Meet the Readers Turning Santa Monica Sidewalks Into a Book Club

SANTA MONICA - Generation Z has gained a reputation as the online generation seeking offline connection. Young entrepreneurs Samantha Dockser and Morgan Messing are using social media to bring people outside through their walking book clubs. Preoccupied LA is the duo's hub for weekly book event roundups and their signature monthly book clubs on Instagram and Substack. Since launching in 2024, the platform has gained thousands of followers and expanded to include 12 book club chapters across the U.S. and Canada. Dockser and Messing met shortly before forming Preoccupied. Messing's author-focused social media company Logue Social, of which Dockser is now a partner, hosted an event and invited Dockser, who has her own social media following as a book influencer. The two hit it off and became friends, bonding over the fact that there appeared to be no centralized resource for finding book events. "There are so many book events," said Dockser, "and we were just feeling frustrated that we couldn't Google a place that would list all of them for a week." Preoccupied was their solution. As their community grew, the pair realized that they had created a group of people who might be interested in an event of
