Where to meet before the event in Los Angeles
- Venice
- Silver Lake
- West Hollywood
- Santa Monica
Start times and dress codes
Dinner is early — 7 to 8:30pm — and evenings finish earlier than in New York. Dress is casual and deliberately so; looking as though you tried too hard reads worse here than the opposite. Nothing formal is expected outside industry events.
Getting to the venue
This is a driving city and the distances are the defining constraint — Venice to Silver Lake can be twenty minutes or an hour depending entirely on when you go. A first meeting is best kept to one neighbourhood.
When the Los Angeles calendar fills
The weather is workable year-round, which makes this one of the few cities with no real off-season. Awards season from January to March is the busiest social calendar, and the evenings are cooler than visitors expect all year.

Taking a date to an occasion in Los Angeles
How much does traffic affect an evening in LA?
It is the main planning constraint. We keep a booking within one part of the city rather than crossing it, because a route that takes twenty minutes at noon can take an hour at six.
What should I expect on dress?
Relaxed. LA is markedly less formal than New York, and outside industry events almost nothing requires a jacket. If you are going somewhere that does, mention it and we will match.
