In addition to the free froyo at Red Mango I wrote about yesterday and the 31-cent scoops at Baskin Robbins I tweeted about, here are a few more deals and steals:

• Magnolia, both the new downtown and original Hollywood locations, are offering 20% off your dinner bill through May 5 when you book a reservation. Looks like it’s a Daily Candy thing, so make sure to mention and/or bring in your DC email. Also, your dinner party is capped at 6 for this deal.

• From Friday through Tuesday (May 1-5), Provecho downtown is having a crazy-extended happy hour each day from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with $5 Cazadores margaritas, $3 Dos Equis and Tecate, $2 mezcal shots and $5 tacos. On Cinco de Mayo, the resto will also have burlesque dancers, luchadores and a mariachi band. From Thrillist.

• To kick off American Craft Beer Week (May 11-17), Brix 42 in Pasadena is offering $3 beers all that week AND giving one free entree per person on May 11 from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The gastropub will also be holding an all-night happy hour on Tuesday, May 12.

Last night, I helped my boyfriend work an event at Kress in Hollywood for VH1’s “I Love Money 2.” I had the most unglamorous job of holding the mic cord. Anyway, before we got there, I thought we were filming a fashion show for Nelly’s Apple Bottoms label. But turns out the event was just a marketing thing, with Apple Bottoms one of the sponsors, along with TNT Agency (makeup folks). Some highlights below, including Bishop Don “Magic” Juan and Lil’ Kim on the red carpet.

Previously only available in NYC, Accomplice, a scavenger hunt/tour/theatrical production, is now being held in Hollywood, thanks in part to co-producer Neil Patrick Harris (NPH!). The secretive mission starts with a cell phone call revealing the first location, sending participants on foot through Tinseltown with “cast members” sprinkled throughout the hunt. What are they looking for? Dunno, but that’s part of the fun. The deets are very hush-hush. What is known is the price ($65) and the days (every Saturday and Sunday starting May 2). I’m surprised this didn’t start in Hollywood – Actors participating on a tour? Sounds like a given to me.
