Cafe Gratitude's Happy Hour, Bootsy Bellows Party in Vegas, More!

VENICE—Here's a fun happy hour idea. Starting in January, Cafe Gratitude on Rose will unleash its version of happy hour and, as opposed to scoring a meal deal, when one orders an appetizer one can send an appetizer to another table in the restaurant for free. More to come on that. [~ELA~]

SANTA MONICA— Instead of the traditional holiday pie, Sweet Rose Creamery is selling ice cream varieties as such: Egg Nog Ice Cream Pie, Cranberry Pistachio Ice Cream Pie, and Malted Chocolate and Hazelnut Praline Ice Cream Pie. [EaterWire]

VEGAS— Simon Hammerstein, the guy behind NYC's The Box (which was supposed to come to LA until Beau Laughlin snapped up the space), is thowing a holiday party in Vegas with the Bootsy Bellows crew on December 19. The party takes place at The ACT (The Shoppes at The Palazzo) around 11 p.m. [EaterWire]
