Weekend of March 14th, 2025

MXO by Chef Wes Avila (West Hollywood)

Brand new on the brunch beat is MXO by Chef Wes Avila, whom you might know from the Tulum-chic restaurant KA’TEEN in Hollywood. MXO stands for “Mexican origins,” and Chef Avila, along with restauranteur Giancarlo Pagani (Mother Wolf) and SBE’s Sam Nazarian, have crafted a “desalmuerzo” vibe on Sundays with a live DJ spinning 90s beats in a luxe alfresco setting.

Menu musts include the Churro French Toast, a Puerto Nuevo Lobster soft scramble, and Yellow Corn Pancakes with whipped butter and fruit compote. Complete your ultimate Sunday Funday with brunch bevvies like an Espresso Martini and my personal favorite, the Bloody Maria. Once you’ve had one, you’ll never go back to Mary again.

The inaugural Sunday brunch takes place March 16th from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. It’s perfect for shaking off all this rain we’ve been having with some sunshine on the outdoor patio or beneath the oversized skylights. Make your reservations on their website for Sunday Brunch from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or Dinner beginning at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday to Sunday.

St. Patrick’s Day Beer Crawls (Various)

St. Patrick’s Day falls on Monday, March 17th, which means you might be in for a long weekend that begins and ends with green.

Events to consider include a St. Patrick’s Day Bar Crawl that starts at 1 p.m. at Grand Central Market on Saturday, March 15th, and goes until 4 p.m. Tickets are less than $20 and include discounts and free shots – but more importantly, you’ll meet some like-minded people.

Also, on March 15th, check out the Shamrock Stroll in Pasadena, which is happening all weekend long. They’ve even got a special Day Crawl that begins at Der Wolf on Monday at 5 p.m. Tickets begin at $24.

Fatburger (Various)

If you need to sober up after a little too much St. Patty’s fun, then head to your local Fatburger for the return of the 2.5 ounce Baby Fat. You can enjoy it for just $5.99 with the code BABYFAT5 through June 30th.
