One of LA's Best Bagel Pop-Ups Is Opening a Permanent Location
Sourdough bagel pop-up Mustard's Bagels has found a permanent home. The pop-up from Kyle Glanville (who also founded Go Get Em Tiger) and his brother, Brent, will open in Culver City, in the same location that it has been hosting pop-ups. In an email sent out on August 2, Mustard's announced that it signed a lease on the space and will begin a remodel process. During the build-out process, Mustard's will continue to host pop-ups in Culver every Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Mustard's has gained a cult-following for its chewy, 72-hour fermented sourdough bagels, baked until the crust is gently blistered. The bagels are available with just cream cheese, or in inventive sandwiches like the Din Tai Fung-inspired Deanna Michelle with Persian cucumber, lemon vinaigrette, and garlic chile oil.

Lewis the Pumpkin King returns to Target – at least online. See Halloween 2025 drop.
It's never too early to prepare for Halloween – at least not at Target. The retailer officially listed more than 1,500 spooky, seasonal finds online, and prices start at $1, the company announced Aug 11. Among this year's items are snacks; Victorian-inspired pieces and Lewis, the $180 8-foot-tall pumpkin ghoul that was first sold in October 2023 and sold out during its first week. Lewis boasts multiple phrases, including a saying to correct those who fail to address the Pumpkin King properly: "I am not a jack-o-lantern," Lewis says. "My name is Lewis." Many of the items are part of Target's Hyde & EEK! Boutique, a Halloween-owned brand. Those decorations include the Featherly Friends werewolf, cat and vampire-inspired bird figurines. 'We know millions of families love Halloween and don't want to wait until October to shop, so Target is ready,' Rick Gomez, Target's chief commercial officer, said in a press release. Here's a look at Target's Halloween 2025 drop. What's new this year? Lewis is back with friends.

Popular fried chicken, country music spot once home to the Ice House will close this fall
After seven tumultuous years that saw multiple owners, hundreds of guitar-picking musicians and a whole lot of fried chicken, Duke's will close its doors for good this fall. The popular southside restaurant and honky-tonk bar, which in 2018 opened in the venue that the beloved Ice House bar occupied from 1983-2017, recently announced on social media that its last day of business will be Nov. 22. In posts to Facebook and Instagram, Duke's staff cited local competition, wear and tear on the bar's storied building and general economic challenges for the decision to "end things on our own terms" rather than close unexpectedly. "As a community we've mourned far too many sudden losses and we want to honor this magical space by giving y'all as much time as possible to say good-bye," the post read. Duke's began with the vision of Beech Grove native and onetime Sun King Brewing production manager Dustin Boyer, known to friends simply as D. In January 2018 Boyer told IndyStar he had had a vision for a Southern-inspired road house and live music venue for 12 years before he bought the spacious building at 2352 S. West St. Boyer named his passion project for his late grandfather, Hayes "Duke" Boyer. Duke's quickly found a following thanks to its acclaimed fried chicken and regular live music performances. But the popular haunt suffered its first major loss just three years later when Boyer died at age 40 on April 28, 2021. Boyer's close friend and financial partner Andy Fagg stepped in with a handful of employee-operators to run Duke's until late 2023, when Patrick Kennedy purchased the restaurant. In its farewell, Duke's staff invited customers to come make a few last memories at the restaurant and thanked the Indianapolis community for the last seven years. "It has been a tremendous honor and truly the joy of our lives to serve Indianapolis," the post read, "bringing independent country and western music artists to eager audiences, serving the best damn fried chicken and carrying the torch D lit."

I've been to bachelorette parties in spots from Hawaii to Las Vegas, but a Canadian city has been the best destination so far
I've been invited to more bachelorette parties than I can count. They've all been a lot of fun and have given me an excuse to visit fabulous destinations around the world. I've been to Cabo, Napa, Puerto Rico, Palm Springs, India, Hawaii, Las Vegas, and more to celebrate dear friends who were getting married. I'm typically excited whenever a new invitation comes in, but when I found out one of my friends was having her bachelorette in Toronto, I was a little disappointed. I didn't think it would be an exciting destination for a girls' trip. However, to my pleasant surprise, I was wrong. The Canadian city completely blew me away. Toronto is vibrant and brimming with personality, art, and culture To match the city's creative energy, local artists' works were displayed throughout the hotel. The lobby even had giant dandelion sculptures hanging from the ceilings. The hotel was also located within walking distance of plenty of restaurants and cafés. I was blown away by the food offerings in Toronto. Some of my favorite meals were the French fare at Café Boulud, al dente pasta and traditional Italian pizza at Spaccio West Terroni, Latin-inspired cuisine at Baro, and Michelin-starred dining at Alobar Yorkville. The activities in the city felt diverse and fun Although lovely accommodations and great food are already pluses, the diverse activities available around Toronto really exceeded my expectations. For daredevils, CN Tower's EdgeWalk is a must. There's nothing quite like walking around an outdoor platform that's 116 stories above the city. It's an epic view, a great bonding experience, and a one-of-a-kind photo op. If you're traveling with adventurous wine enthusiasts, I recommend the helicopter tour with Niagara Helicopters Limited, which flies over Niagara Falls and ends at a winery. We also enjoyed a segway tour of the Distillery District, which was bustling with boutiques, cafés, breweries, and eateries. For a more low-key afternoon, Toronto also has several noteworthy museums, but I can only speak to the unique experience at the Bata Shoe Museum. It houses antique shoes from regions around the world, imaginative futuristic kicks, and unique artist exhibitions. My absolute favorite part of the trip was renting dresses at The Fitzroy for a night at the opera. The Fitzroy sectioned off an area of the store and provided us with bubbly and sweet treats during the dress fittings. I never expected a Canadian city to become my favorite bachelorette destination I'll fully admit that I was wrong about Toronto. It ended up being an incredible destination for a bachelorette party — and would probably be great for any old girls' trip, too. I had experiences that would be considered out of the ordinary on any trip, like helicopter tours and a night at the opera. Plus, every meal was uniquely delicious. The diverse activities, luxe accommodations, and memorable meals made Toronto my favorite bachelorette-party destination to date.
