EaterWire: Seven to Become 24K, Bartleby at Forty Deuce, Tommy Ray's Closed, Melting Pot Tours

WEST HOLLYWOOD: Seven nightclub is undergoing a golden renovation---real gold paint (at $100 a gallon), golden chandeliers and champagne buckets, wood paneling that looks like a Bentley dashboard---to reemerge as 24K in August. Not because there's a Seven Grand and Seven restaurant downtown, just because gold is the "purest of all metals" says one of the owners. The rest of the world simplifies, others Trumpisize.

STUDIO CITY: From a tipster: Tommy Rays on Ventura is closed, "bought by the guy who owns la Loggia." There's a lengthy outgoing phone message as if it's still open, but currently offline on OpenTable. That's all we know for now. [EaterWire Inbox]
