• Cafe Roma: The Beverly Hills eatery just reopened after a remodel, and it has a happy hour from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays where you can get two-for-one drinks (per person) and free finger foods at the bar. That’s one way to get people back in the door!

• McCormick & Schmick’s: Through September (or until supplies last), anyone who buys a dinner entree can also purchase a movie ticket for $5. Here’s a list of L.A.-area M&S restaurants and their participating movie theaters:

Los Angeles at 633 W. Fifth St. and Laemmles’ Grande 4-Plex

Beverly Hills at 206 N. Rodeo Dr. and AMC Theaters – Westfield Century City

Pasadena at 111 N. Los Robles and Pacific Theaters – Paseo Stadium 14

El Segundo at 2101 Rosecrans Ave. and Pacific Theaters – Beach Cities

Burbank at 3500 W. Olive Ave. and AMC Theaters – Citywalk Stadium 19

The restaurant is also holding a sweepstakes contest called Reel to Reel. The prize includes airfare and hotel accommodations for two to Park City, Utah, and VIP passes to the Sundance Film Festival in 2010. You can register to win in the restaurant or online.

“The new store will carry TOUS’ full line of yellow gold, white gold and sterling silver jewelry for men, women and children, as well as their full suite of accessories, including watches, handbags, luggage, scarves and sunglasses. It will also carry TOUS’ recent jewelry and handbag design collaboration with Kylie Minogue, who is the current face of the TOUS brand.”

TOUS is calling this an “aggressive expansion plan in the L.A. area.” I could think of another way to describe opening three high-end accessory stores amid a recession, but maybe TOUS is thinking ahead…Because there’s nothing Los Angeles needs more than a place to buy a $108 sterling silver pacifier clip.
