1616 Nightclub Debuting Downtown, Harry & David Hits Robertson, New Menu at Vintage Enoteca

DOWNTOWN— Hm, a non-strip club from strip club owners, curious. Those behind Vegas' infamous Spearmint Rhino bring Angelenos 1616, a dark, lounge-y venue now soft open for private events, rolling full throttle on Halloween. Come here for drinks and/or dinner (pizzas, tacos, mac and cheese), notice the ode to the Rhino via photos of dancers bedecking the walls. However, here, clothing remains intact. [Urban Daddy]

MID-CITY— Yup, gift baskets on Robertson, it's on. Mondette reports that Harry & David Orchard opened this past Thursday selling the expected assortment of fruit, nuts, chocolate, you know the drill. [Mondette]
