Experience The Bungalow Night Market

The Bungalow is known to Santa Monica citizens as one of the most populated bars on the Westside. Its brand built on surf culture, Baja California and a quality sunset over the Pacific leads locals and visitors alike to keep coming back to the inviting venue attached to the Fairmont Hotel. With summer just around the corner, The Bungalow has a new draw with the launch of their Night Market—a weekly event featuring a selection of LA’s best food trucks. Learn more about The Bungalow Night Market and their plans for a bustling, beachside summer event.

 

Night Market 2024 is Back!

For those looking to get their weekend started early, the Night Market will run every Thursday night, from June 6th through August 29th. The free event will stake its claim on what is currently the Bungalow’s parking lot, which normally houses valet cars along with a line of people that snakes through the space on weekends. The unstoppable Bungalow crowds are sure to appreciate a new reason to swing by and take advantage of an additional space to hang out along Ocean Boulevard.

 

Street Eats & Casual Bites

Running each week from 5-11pm, the Night Market will take on a different tone than the bar to attract families and foodies of all ages, looking for street eats at a fun summer activity. Picnic tables will be set up throughout as guests try different tastes from some of the best food trucks in the city. The lineup is looking strong, with Bootsy BBQ cooking up their famous off-the-bone smoked meats, House of Empanadas delighting palates with their secret family recipe, and Steamin’ Burger slinging their fan-favorite jalapeño-stuffed cheeseburgers. Other newcomers include the iconic seafood-specialists The Boiling Crab, the NY style slices of LA staple URBN Pizza, and Good Time Ice Cream holding down dessert. Returning vendors include local favorite Tacos 1986 and their Tijuana-style tacos, alongside some vegan delights from Secret Vegan Pizza.

Brent Bolthouse & The Bungalow

Bungalow visionary Brent Bolthouse joined designers Studio Collective to open up the now iconic indoor-outdoor space in the summer of 2012. Since then, the beloved brand has expanded to include another location in Huntington Beach with additional venues in La Jolla and Long Beach scheduled to open by the end of the year. Guests flock to both of the current locations to take in the quintessentially Californian vibe while sipping drinks in a welcoming, beachy environment.

Following the neighborhood-centric blueprint of The Bungalow and taking inspiration from farmers markets, The Night Market provides an ideal open-air setting between city and sea, where guests can relax and unwind with loved ones, celebrating the local essence of Santa Monica. “Night Market is truly an extension of The Bungalow’s community-based ethos. As The Bungalow celebrates a decade in Santa Monica, we wanted to evolve with our guests, many of whom now have families of their own. Night Market allows us to expand upon the culture we’ve created and the community that has embraced us with an impactful event for everyone, celebrating the vibrant artists and artisans who together craft the one-of-a-kind creative landscape that is Santa Monica,” comments Bolthouse. 

Previous iterations of Night Market saw celebrity attendees like Cameron Diaz, Aaron Paul and Eva Longoria guest bartending, creating specialty cocktails with their brands Dos Hombres and Casa Del Sol for food and drink lovers alike, while Brody Jenner closed out the 2022 Night Market season with a special DJ set with his tequila seltzer, Mamitas. “Night Market gets bigger and better every year with new food vendors, live music, great drinks and even some surprise celebrity guests.” says Bolthouse, “Food is the ultimate connector and I wanted to create an event where families and guests of all ages can come together and enjoy each other’s company while eating some of the best food that LA has to offer. I can’t wait to have everyone enjoy their summer evenings with us at Night Market.”

Bolthouse is also known for creating exciting events and is recently coming off the heels of the success of the annual Neon Carnival Coachella after party. The 2024 event included blowout live DJ sets, an airstream speakeasy, a themed ferris wheel and bumper car installations, and an unprecedented amount of drinks, dancing, and good times. Bolthouse has since succeeded in making Night Market a staple in the Santa Monica summer scene alongside the June Santa Monica Pride festival and the August Santa Monica Pier Twilight Concerts.

    Experience Tailor Nashville: Indian Home Cooking at Its Finest

    experience tailor nashville Minne Morklithavong

    Experience Tailor Nashville

    Nashville, Tennessee has a new hotspot that has opened up to thunderous acclaim. The restaurant has been named one of Bon Appetit’s 10 Best New Restaurants in America, its head chef, Vivek Surti, has earned the achievement of being a James Beard Award semifinalist. Impressive accolades for sure, but a single meal at Tailor Nashville will convince even the most skeptical diner that Surti has created something truly special. Gujarati cooking is something that does not need elevating, but Surti has taken extra care at every step to create a seasonal menu that highlights the bold, nostalgic flavors the region is known for. With intimate presentation and plenty of pairings, anecdotes, and surprises from the chef himself, few restaurants can embody the warmth, comfort, and soul of Nashville quite like Tailor. It’s a remarkable gift, from his family to yours. Sit down, take a load off, and get to know this exciting destination.

     

    The Dining Room

    The space itself feels more like a friend’s home than a restaurant, with exposed brick walls, bespoke decorations, and no communal tables in sight. Warm light shines down from the enormous crystal chandelier – an actual heirloom from chef Surti’s family home – which sets the stage for a truly pleasant meal. Grab a drink at the side bar, sink into a blueberry leather seat, and clink glasses with close company. You might catch a glimpse of Surti explaining the meal to come, or if you’re lucky, opening a bottle of bubbly with a saber.

    There are only two seatings each night, and the energy is palpable. Everyone is friendly, relaxed, and as excited to tell you about the food as you are to eat it. The light earth tones around the restaurant really make the colorful food pop, and every moment is a simple but elegant photo op. Take in the drifting scents of spices and fresh brewed Chai, and breathe easy; you’re home.

    The Menu

    Chef Surti’s story begins at home, with influences, ingredients and traditions originating from his mother’s cooking. His style seamlessly blends South Asian flavors with a hint of his Nashville upbringing, putting special emphasis on the beauty of everyday foods and the warmth they bring into our lives. (And with fresh ingredients and expert preparation, it’s hard not to be convinced.) 

    Tailor’s seasonal coursed menu is extremely tight, with only 7-8 dishes to enjoy, which should speak to their quality. Winter 2024’s menu, for example, is lauded for the Kadhi, a yogurt soup carefully seasoned with cumin, white turmeric, and ginger. Dip the handmade Thelpi frybread in the concoction, but save room for the Sweet Potato Bhel, Surti’s take on an iconic Indian Street food, and the signature Amaroo Hills Farm duck, served as both a perfectly marinated breast, and a jaw-droppingly tender duck confit biryani. 

    The menu is fully dynamic, changing as the seasons pass and more than able to accommodate dietary restrictions. With fresh vegetables every season and Surti’s new ideas always finding their way to the table, there’s no way of knowing what awaits you at your reservation, and no doubt that it will be something magical.

    Sip & Savor

    The beverage services at Tailor Nashville are world-class, with a large selection of domestic and international wines to complement your meal. An entire page of inventive and original cocktails is sure to delight every palette, with options ranging from sweet and light to bold and timeless. But for the true Tailor experience, the beverage pairing cannot be skipped. It features many captivating choices from the lengthy beverage menu, whose stories and qualities make the experience all the more memorable. For those who don’t partake, there’s even a spirit-free pairing that features all the teas and tonics best suited to supplement the delicious food.

    This is all without mentioning the iconic Chai, a recipe Surti’s dad has been developing for over 10 years. We know it contains real Gujarati Tea and a hint of fresh ginger, but the enchanting blend of spices remains a mystery. The tea is served alongside Nankhatai, his dad’s favorite cookie, and makes for an idyllic conclusion to an already memorable meal.

          Coachellas most highly-coveted party wristbands

          The carnival is produced by Jeffrey Best and Best Events with nightlife impresario Brent Bolthouse—the creative behind Bungalow Hospitality Group’s well-admired Bungalow bars in Santa Monica and Huntington Beach. The group has more recently opened dining venues The Bungalow Long Beach and The Bungalow Kitchen by Michael Mina Tiburon. His impact in the industry spans decades, leading his event company Bolthouse Productions to continuously impress with their creativity, detail, and knack for orchestrating a good time.

          Neon Carnival 2024 marks 13 years of partying hard in the desert, and the festivities show no signs of slowing down. On Saturday, April 13th, the immense Desert International Horse Park will be transformed into an enormous fun fair spanning the length of three football fields, complete with games, music, food and drinks, and the iconic Levis Ferris wheel. The scope and spectacle grow every year, solidly cementing Neon Carnival as one of Coachella’s Hottest Parties.

          Neon Carnival 2024 will bring back familiar favorites alongside new sights and sounds. The night’s soundtrack will feature viral TikTok superstar DJ Hunny Bee as well as Vanderpump Rules star, DJ James Kennedy. Both are venerated performers known to keep the party raging with their high energy live DJ sets. They will be joining the absurdly cool headline event, Hip Hop sensation Anderson .Paak, who will be reprising his role as DJ Pee Wee, the DJ who spins vinyl and went viral. The untouchable live performer will be bringing his horn player and drum kit with him on stage, which practically guarantees the evening will go down in history. In 13 years of getting down, Neon Carnival 2024 might be the most exciting lineup yet. 

          Levi’s will return as a sponsor with their iconic branded Ferris Wheel alongside Patrón El Alto, who will be serving up custom cocktails at the bars throughout the venue, as well as providing VIP table service, a first for Neon Carnival. Liquid I.V. will be returning with their signature bumper car installation, equal parts fun and photo op. Other sponsors include Ghost Energy, Nütrl Vodka Seltzers, Heineken, La Croix, Coca-Cola, French Bee Airlines, Tangle Teezer, and Path Water, returning for their 3rd year in a row. Everyone is bringing their A-game, and the crowd is excited to see what they have in store. 

          Please Note: Access to the event is at the discretion of the organizer and submitting a request does not guarantee access. Zocha Group will review your request and contact you with more information if we are able to accommodate.

          To be considered for access, please only send one request inquiry per person, noting the events you are interested in attending.

          Neon Carnival presented by Liquid I.V.

          In the early Neon Carnival days, the party was an even more exclusive indoor event at the Barker Hangar in Thermal, CA. It was a party fully-stocked with Hollywood elites as a private place to escape to after the festival with only a few-hundred guests on the invite list. The outdoor carnival aspect didn’t come into play until 2010, inspired by another of Bolthouse’s famous private parties held at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Each year the Neon Carnival has grown, with the event switching locations in 2018 to HITS Desert Horse Park, a larger space for an increased guest list of 8,000 attendees. The new guest list has expanded even further to include 10,000 attendees.

          A-List Attendees

          Past Neon Carnival events are well-known for drawing in a kaleidoscope of A-listers. It may be no surprise that attendees have included regular clubgoers like Drake, Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Paris Hilton, but when Hollywood royalty like Leonardo Dicaprio and Clint Eastwood also show up for the festivities, the carnival’s status is cemented as being the best of the best. Last year’s party brought Camila Cabello, Metro Boomin, and Lil Nas X, but if there’s one thing we know about Neon Carnival, the guests get more glamorous every year.

          The Neon Carnival is an invite-only event.

          The big question hopeful attendees have each year is, “How do you get a wristband?” Bolthouse cites close-knit industry relationships as being the number one source for the guest list. Invites go out to talent agencies, record labels, and the numerous nightlife connections Bolthouse has developed over the years. 

          The curated selection of invitees are given a time and place for advanced check-in where they pick up their wristbands in Los Angeles within the weeks prior to the event. The 2019 event marked the first year the check-in location was made to feel like a party itself, with a red carpet, photo station, complimentary beverages and a lounge space for guests waiting in line for their wristbands. The sale of knock-offs online are a given for an event of this prominence, but Bolthouse ensures that the official wristbands can’t be removed for resale. Entry for the priceless event can’t be purchased, where even the extremely limited number of bottle service tables are quickly bought up by invited VIPs. 

           

          Neon Carnival Access

          Invite requests are at the discretion of Bolthouse Productions and Best Events, with influencers and highly-followed Instagram accounts likely to receive priority. According to Bolthouse himself, anyone with a dream of waltzing into the event is best off getting to know him personally through one of his many bar and nightlife ventures.

          You won’t miss out on any Coachella acts as the Carnival is always held after the closing artist has ended. Neon Carnival has never been directly affiliated with the festival and has always been an event for post-Coachella, which has helped cultivate a friendship rather than competition between the two events.

                  Sorelle: Southern Italy Comes to Charleston

                   

                  Experience Sorelle in Charleston

                  Charleston, South Carolina has a new hotspot that has opened up to critical acclaim, bringing world-class Southern Italian cooking to the town’s sunny shores. Inspired by Italian all-day cafes, the stunning Sorelle Charleston is a dining experience like no other, boasting a Mercato, central bar, wine room, pizza counter, and more. Prospective diners have been scrambling for the chance to sample the menu of fresh pastas, to sip authentic espresso in the luxurious digs, and to fill a basket with all the craft gelato, wine, and premium Italian foodstuffs the bustling market has to offer. While it might be tough to secure a reservation, the bar is walk-ins only, and the festive atmosphere and fabulous food make Sorelle a must-visit, for Charleston locals and tourists alike. Grab a tall pour of vino and get to know this exciting venue. 

                   

                  The Space

                  The sophisticated digs at Sorelle are extremely charming, even by Charleston’s standards. The award-winning Meyers-Davis Studio has reimagined three gorgeous townhouses on iconic Broad Street into a buzzing center of vibrancy and joy. Expansive windows and refined furnishings give the spacious rooms an inviting air of excitement. Each dining area has a distinct flavor and feel, perfect for everything from a big celebration to casual cocktails by candlelight. Guests are greeted by the sun-drenched dining room, where wood fired pizzas and piping plates of fresh pasta are served around the clock. The tall ceilings give way to the brass lighting and marble countertops of the stunning alimentari, with the romantic woodgrain-and-leather bar just around the corner. At Sorelle, alluring history meets intoxicating modernity, with pleasant surprises all around.

                  The Menu

                  Chefs Adam Sobel and Nick Dugan’s fresh takes on classic Southern Italian cuisine have garnered significant attention from Charleston foodies, for good reason. Their focus on fresh ingredients and skilled preparation make for a menu that always hits the mark. In 2022, the pair spent two months researching and perfecting their recipes in Italy. As Dugen says “The best research is getting out there and digging a spoon into things!”, and that work and passion certainly comes through in the food. The “Pillows of Gold” ricotta tortellini immediately comes to mind, topped with mouthwatering prosciutto cotto, balsamico, and delightfully fresh butter, taking inspiration from local chefs, farmers, and nonnas. The dish has attracted quite the following, and diners would be remiss not to grab a plate. Don’t fill up however, the delectable arancini stuffed with bolognese and pasta-baked branzino are must-trys. Paired with a heaping helping of the pollo al lambrusco, Sorelle’s take on coq au vain, diners are in for a hearty but balanced meal, and a complete tour of Italy’s incredible culinary scene. 

                  Should you arrive in the morning, Mercato offers Lamill coffee drinks and house mascarpone. Nothing pairs with a cappuccino quite like a cannoli made fresh. Stay for lunch and pick up a meatball and ricotta sandwich, or Sicilian pizza by the slice. Round out your meal with a scoop of handmade gelato, and a craft beer or bold Italian wine, always paired to perfection.

                  Sip & Savor

                  Enjoy a taste of Southern Italian culture with Sorelle’s sensational selection of drinks and spaces to enjoy them. Start your evening in the grand dining room, taking in the natural light and sipping a delicious twist on a spritz, or a house martini prepared tableside. For guests feeling overwhelmed by the number of enticing cocktails, the menu is split into drinks to be enjoyed before, during, and after your meal. If you find your way to the atmospheric bar, peruse the craft beer list! Local or domestic, they’re always cold, and always delicious. The beverage tour wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the sumptuous wine room, boasting an unmatched collection of fine wines and spirits. Should you need a recommendation, the expertly-trained staff would be more than happy to find the perfect fit for you.

                  The Mercato

                  Sorelle’s first floor is open to an unbearably quaint market chock full of authentic Italian goods for patrons to enjoy. Mornings in the mercato are accompanied by the smells of fresh baked pastries and espresso, while lunches are punctuated with all sorts of casual Italian fare, from chop salads to Sicilian pizza. Keep an eye out for Chef’s soup selection, fresh, flavorful, and different every day. Guests will need to see the loaded shelves for themselves, but they can expect a fabulous selection of meats, cheeses, and dried goods to bring home a taste of the Mediterranean.
